Review of College of Charleston

from Hickory, NC

Describe your college in three sentences.

The College of Charleston is well-rounded, beautiful school that rests elegantly on the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by delicious food, intelligent professors, and interesting people; there is no better place to attend school. Any student enrolled at the college will tell you of how wondrous and exquisite it is, and how much of an honor it is to attend.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply early and make sure to set up a visit to take all that the college and the city of Charleston has to offer.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Being a liberal arts school, the college requirers students to take foreign languages and other classical classes that would normally be left out of a biology major. While these courses do take time and energy they provide the student to discover new areas and interests that may not have been noticed prior to attending the school.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are no different than any school but it is the people who live in them that continues to amaze me I love them all and being in this town is a treat.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

All food everywhere in Charleston is delicious, being a New Olreans, LA native I am picky about good food, but the cuisine here has surpassed my standards.

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

There is so much to do, a nice tour of the battery while the ocean breeze washes over with a soul mate, family member, or new friend is always relaxing along with lounging in the park or doing some shopping on King st. or at the northern outlets. The beach is only fifteen minutes away and if you know some one with money Kiawah is a beautiful island that offers luscious golf courses and tranquil beach lounging.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Charleston is a beautiful historic area, and therefore the money can become short, but if you know where to go and what places to eat to save little bits of cash here and there it is not a problem for a college student with a weekend job to support himself.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

The historic value around the college is amazing, students can live in a 200 year old house instead of a dorm. Few colleges can offer this commodity.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Laid back people who are enjoyable to be around and know when to study and when to party. Charleston is not out of control, but it is a fun place to be.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

There is any and every sport imaginable along with art and theatre clubs. There are clubs for anything anyone can think of, and if some how there is no club yet then you can be a founding father and create your own club!

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Charleston prides itself on having southern greek life that involves parties, dances, dinners, balls, and gatherings of all kinds. Some fraternities will go to beach week while a sorority may have mountain weekend, there is always something going on and always someone to do it with.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

There are security systems all over campus and a 24/7 security guard on call.
