Now that you’re a Buc…
Campus life at Charleston Southern University provides opportunities for you to get involved, meet new people, develop your leadership skills, try new things, discover your passion, and more. This is your community – the people you go to class with, live with, work, serve, and play with. Find your place in the larger CSU community. #onceaBucalwaysaBuc
The first thing you need to do to get involved is download the free Buc Nation App. It’s a Bucs Life!
All students are expected to know the information in the Student Handbook. It’s a good idea to take a look through it.
