A Bit About Charleston Situated on the coast of South Carolina, Charleston is a port city with a rich cultural history. Originally settled by the English in 1670, Charleston resides on a peninsula where the Ashley and Cooper Rivers converge on the sea. Charleston prospered through both the American Revolution and the War of 1812, becoming a vital port for the South. By 1860, Charleston became involved in the battle for state's rights, and by 1861, the first shots of the Civil War were fired by Confederates upon the Union held Fort Sumter. Spared the destruction of General Sherman's march, Charleston is one of the most well preserved cities in America. Surviving wars, earthquakes, and many hurricanes, Charleston continues to be a cultural and economic center in the South.
Recreation MUSC Student Programs offer many intramural sports such as volleyball, basketball, softball, football, and soccer. With access to many beaches and rivers, the coastal community also offers sailing, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Other watersports such as waterskiing and jet skiing are other popular pastimes. Being the site of America's first golf course, Charleston offers numerous opportunities to play its many courses. Charleston's ample parks and beaches offer many other recreational opportunities.
