What city is Coastal Carolina University located in?

I was looking into Coastal Carolina University and for the life of me I can't remember what city it's in. Does anyone know? And if you've visited or lived there, can you tell me about the city vibe? Is the university integrated into city life, or is it more of its own separate environment?

Coastal Carolina University is located in Conway, which is a city in Horry County, South Carolina. However, it's often associated with Myrtle Beach because Conway is near Myrtle Beach and many CCU students live and spend time there.

Conway itself is a relatively small town that's somewhat quiet and definitely has a Southern charm to it, embellished with historic houses, a quaint downtown area, and the Waccamaw River flowing right alongside it. It offers a peaceful setting, but perhaps a bit more low-key if compared to the liveliness and bustle of a big city.

When it comes to student life, the university is a bit distinct from the city - it's a few miles removed from downtown Conway. Biking and driving are the main modes of getting around the area. The university is more like its own community, with ongoing events, activities, and a spirited sports culture.

Now, regarding Myrtle Beach, it's the focal hub that a lot of students and local residents often visit. It's acclaimed for its extensive stretch of beaches, multi-cuisine restaurants, vibrant nightlife, and an overall lively atmosphere. It's the place students usually head to for enjoyment and rich cultural experiences. So, in a sense, being in close proximity to Myrtle Beach provides students at CCU the best of both worlds - the tranquility of a small town and the energy of a beach city. And yes, it certainly does have an interesting blend of a beach and a college town vibe.
