About Student Housing in Conway
Conway, South Carolina is a historic riverfront town on the Waccamaw River and the home of Coastal Carolina University, whose roughly 10,000 students bring a steady beach-adjacent college energy. Conway sits about 10 miles inland from Myrtle Beach, so you get a small, walkable downtown with a scenic Riverwalk and Spanish moss while the Atlantic and the Grand Strand are a short drive away. Campus life and Chanticleer game days anchor the social calendar, and the surrounding area is mostly residential neighborhoods wrapped in Lowcountry greenery. The downtown square hosts farmers markets and festivals, the Waccamaw River draws kayakers and anglers, and the whole vibe is laid-back, warm, and unmistakably coastal South Carolina.
