About Student Housing in Central
Central is a small town in Pickens County in the upstate region of South Carolina, with a population of approximately 5,500 residents. It is home to Southern Wesleyan University and sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, about five miles west of Clemson and eight miles east of Seneca. The surrounding area offers outdoor recreation including hiking, lake access, and proximity to the mountains, making it appealing to students who enjoy the outdoors. Central itself has limited commercial development, so most residents rely on nearby Clemson or Seneca for groceries, restaurants, and other services.
