Fortunately, there is an affordable, student-friendly option for those who want to explore all that Charleston has to offer. For less than the cost of a night in a budget motel, one can stay an entire weekend in Charleston's' Notso Hostel, currently the only hostel located in South Carolina.

Though most think of hostels as a lodging option only found in Europe, hostels are becoming a more popular option for travelers in the United States as well. Rooms in hostels are usually dormitory style, though some hostels offer private rooms for a higher price, and bathrooms and common areas are shared.

Despite the sacrifice of privacy, sharing living space opens doors to explore the world without ever living your country.

During my stays in hostels, I've learned about the intricacies of European politics from a man from Belgium, learned the Portuguese word for "house slippers" from a girl from Portugal and shared a cup of tea with a couple from Germany, all without ever leaving the United States.
