The professors here are incredibly helpful and really want to see you do well, which is why they try to make themselves available for questions or just for a chat. Since there are fewer students in the classes themselves, your questions can be heard, and you will probably learn more than if you were stuck in a giant lecture hall. In addition to the sizes, there is the substance of the learning, which is phenomenal. I have learned quite a bit in my classes, and, because it is a liberal arts school, I have had the opportunity to try out other types of classes as well.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The scenery is gorgeous; I had a fantastic lake view from my dorm in my freshman year. There is also a lot to do on campus; nearly every weekend there is some type of event happening, whether it be a movie, a play, a comedian, a concert, etc. If there isn't something going on, you can always catch the Metra to Chicago or just get together with friends. Otherwise, getting involved in some of the many organizations on campus can help fill in that extra down time as well.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
This school is expensive, but it is a private school on the lakefront, you are paying for fantastic quality here, both with the campus and the education itself. To help with the steep costs, Carthage makes scholarships readily available, along with work-study.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
-This is Wisconsin; having warm clothes is expected.
-Small class sizes means that the professors know who you are. Go to class. Plus, you will more than likely see them out and about on campus, which can lead to a guilty conscience or just an awkward encounter.
-If you don't have a car, make friends with someone who does have one. The bus system in Kenosha doesn't go absolutely anywhere you could possibly want whenever you want, so knowing someone well enough that you can ask for a ride is really helpful.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you like that close-knit atmosphere, this school is definitely for you.
Also, a vast majority of the students are athletes, so athletes are definitely welcomed.
If you want to be near a city, but not actually live in the city, you would also adore this school.
