Carthage College is probably one of the best small-private liberal arts schools in the Nation. Carthage prides itself on hiring the best teaching staff possible in order to help supplement students learning experiences. With small classes of at least 20 to *30 *(maximum), you get more of a personal attention with your classes and professors.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I am so glad and thankful that I chose to come to Carthage College for School. I am pretty sure that I have made one of the best choices in my entire life to come here. I love the environment, which entails many things: students, classes, church, scenery, clubs/organizations and a countless number of other things as well. The size of the school really helps too, because for me it feels like more of a Family School, everyone is very friendly and we're all in this together! If you're feeling downed at all or need help/guidance, there are always great friends, adults, teachers and other, right around the corner who are always there and ready/willing to help you with whatever your needs are! I am also glad to be here at Carthage because of the many and great opportunities there are to be in so many different clubs and organizations, whether it's service, choir, band or greek-life. I have many great friends in the Greek System on Campus, in both Fraternities and Sororities.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
I must say that as much as we all want to cringe when we hear how much Tuition costs.....I believe that it is fully worth every single sent because of everything that I have just specified from my own experiences and I am sure that other Carthage Students would also agree with me. There are also many opportunities to earn that extra cash, to help with tuition. If you are also looking for work, Carthage has a Work Study Program, in which your classes would be slightly different from others, if you chose to work during school hours. Carthage has many on campus jobs, which many students participate in. I am currently in the Carthage Pep Band, which pays good money and is actually the highest paying student job on campus! If you're a musician, I'd highly recommend trying out, it's a lot of fun too!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are a prospective student looking at going to Carthage College, you have definitely made the right and probably best choice! Carthage is located just north of Chicago, IL and situated in the beautiful city of Kenosha, WI. If you are looking for a small-type college setting. Carthage College is THE place for you! You have nowhere to go wrong here because you have so many people who are on-hand to help you with all of your troubles. The location of Carthage College is also a plus because it is literally just steps away from Lake Michigan, where you can look out at the waters, boats, wind surfers, etc. If you're looking for fun on the weekend, there is the Metra Train to Chicago and Carthage is only 32 miles from Milwaukee and there are outlet malls galore and many other shopping opportunities.
I strongly encourage and cannot emphasis enough how important it is to at least try to apply to Carthage College. You do not really know until you try/apply. I am glad that I applied and got in and I could not say that I'd be as happy at any other place/school. Carthage is truely a special, unique and great place to be!
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Carthage College is a great school for those students who want a smaller-school setting and are looking for a more family oriented school. You meet at least 1 new person/friend each day and by the end of the year you probably will come to know half the school! It is a great school if you're looking for more personal attention because the Professors are willing to set-up appointments to meet with students and discuss whatever it is that you are having trouble with in Class.
