Charleston Community

The Medical University of South Carolina is located in the charming city of Charleston, which maintains a unique blend of vibrant historical culture with a surging high-tech economy, and a balanced lifestyle that includes beautiful beaches and other outdoor activities. Charleston has been named the Top U.S. Small City for the fifth consecutive year by Conde Nast Traveler 2016 Readers' Choice Awards and is consistently given top honors as a most desirable place to live. 

To experience Charleston is to visit historic downtown on the peninsula. There, one is transcended to pre-revolutionary times among the homes and churches that still stand and the protected neighborhoods that show off their soft colors during an evening walk, juxtaposed to the best and most unique restaurants and other tourist friendly attractions.

Charleston enjoys an annual climate of sunshine which brings with it a remarkable assemble of spring and summer colors among the different variety of South Carolina oak trees that together make up the natural beauty symbolic of the Low Country.   

There is no Charleston without its majestic beaches that are located within minutes of downtown or its suburbs. Natural beauty is constantly on display, such as the truly unique scenery of trees and sea shells that line the coastal waters of Botany Bay near Edisto Beach State Park. 

And whether on a drive home from work or taking time off during the weekend to watch a minor league baseball game, eat oysters on the back porch of a restaurant or catching the last wave at Folly Beach, the sunsets of Charleston are inescapable. You just have to experience it for yourself.
