Review of Converse University

from Inman, SC

Describe your college in three sentences.

Converse College is a great school for atmosphere. It's very small; so, it is welcoming and fun. I wouldn't have went to another school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be very open minded when you come to Converse. We love seeing new people on campus and can't wait to get to know you more. Connies are very welcoming and fun loving; so, don't be shy when you come.

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

I'm a music major and I have a huge work load. It takes a lot of determination and will power to get everything done in a timely manner. I know my professors do it to try to challenge me.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Our dorms are old for the most part since it is an historic school. They school is remodeling a lot of things. I love living in the dorms even though I live ten minutes from the school. I like having a roommate and seeing my friends all the time.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

We are a veggie friendly school. I'm a complete carnivore, for the most part, so trying to find something to curb my appetite is hard sometimes.

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

We have a group called CAB that sponsors activities during the school year. We have different performers come (such as B.o.B. this April), dancing lessons, and trivia.

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

Converse is expensive, but it's worth it.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

When you get engaged we have a fountain behind the dining hall that your friends throw you in.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Converse is very diverse and doesn't have a type, but I would say you need to be hard working to be able to keep up.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

We have a variety of clubs on campus. I'm a part of Ally, our gay-straight alliance club on campus. We also have a huge Spring concert every year where big names such as B.o.B. and Darius Rucker come.

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

We have campus safety around 24/7.
