Going to the University of South Carolina is an amazing experience, but there are some hazards to be aware of. Before going to college, things like bikers and elevators probably don't make you worry. After a semester at USC you'll realize how some of these tiny things become big issues in your daily life.

1. Bricks on the horseshoe

Double the trouble if leaves are falling. Every step is a hazard.

2. Trains

You left for class early, but didn’t account for the five mile long train that stopped across the road for half an hour.

3. Zapps

Just because you took a 20 minute course doesn't mean you’re qualified to drive a half-ton motorized vehicle in the bike lane. The people over at Zapp thinks you are.

4. Crosswalks

If you’re not down to jaywalk, there's a pretty good chance you’ll never see the other side of the road. Even if you get the walk sign, don’t expect anyone to let you cross.

5. Cars

Not only are they a danger to pedestrians, they're a danger to each other. Turn signals? Drivers don’t know her.

6. Seasonal hurricanes

Class will probably be cancelled, but you apartment might get flooded.

7. Flying beer cans (but usually only during football season)

Being featured on Bar Stool gives you major clout, and any casualties are just part of it.

8. Skateboarders that only picked up skateboarding last week (and it shows)

It might be an efficient way to get to class, but if you’re aren't good on the board it’s an efficient way to scar everyone in your path.

9. Bikes

Like skateboards, bikes are a speedy way to class, and a good way to break toes.

10. Elevators that may or not be haunted

Just because you pressed a button for one floor doesn't mean you’ll go straight there, or there at all. Some elevators will pick for you.

11. Tour groups

There’s no escaping the hordes of high schoolers and their parents, but they’re also slow walking and quick to judge.

12. The weather

It’ll be 40 degrees with freezing rain when you leave for class, but 85 when you get out. There’s no rhyme or reason, just suffering.

13. Receiving second-hand smoke from bandwagoning juulers

It’s ok, they’re only ‘social smokers’ (even though it 10am on a Tuesday).

14. The one student that wears a suit to class

Is he pledging a frat or just better than you? Either way you'll feel self-conscious about your sweatshirt for the rest of the day.

15. Being in the background of someones' picture

If you cross the Horseshoe there’s a good chance you’ll forever be captured in the background of someone engagement/wedding/graduation pictures.
