Carthage College Top Questions

I like that we (as students) get to know our porofessors and each other on a deeper level than class mates or educators. I see many of my professors as people i can go to if I'm having a hard time managing all my course work, r something similar. I suppose I was expecting a huge lecture hall, where we listen to one persone drone on about the subject, then leave. Carthage really surprised me in a great way, the average class size os around 20 people, so gettign to know everyone is easy!

The unique thing about my school is how close knit everyone becomes, whether it's a student to student relationship or a professor to student relationship everyone is there to help out and see one do their best.

Almost all of the classesare under twenty five students. I believe there is only two classrooms that can hold more than fifty students. THe small classes make it easier to know the other students and professors. Plus Lake Michigan is only about four hundred meters from the campus so the view is absolutely amazing and the weather can get a bit chilly but is mostly fair.

there is a great view of the lake

Small class sizes

I condsider my school unique because it is located right on the shore of Lake Michigan. Not many students are able to wake up in the morning to the sound of waves crashing on the shore and the fresh air coming off the lake. I am truly blessed by all the measures taken by Carthage College to create a learning enviorment all can enjoy.

Carthage College definitely has their act together and they get your academic act together for a future job.

The most unique qualitiy of Carthage has to be the environment that surronds campus, Lake Michigan is literally less than 500 feet away from the dorms which provides amazing views that are to die for.

Carthage is unique compared to other colleges and universities because of the campus. The school is located on the beautiful Lake Michigan and also stands an arboretum. The city provides great landscaping with every season change. The school is also located in between Chicago and Milwaukee. This location provides many off campus activities and adventures.

Carthage has allowed me to continue my career as a volleyball player while getting my degree. It also has a remote location on Lake Michigan, so I can wake up to the beautiful lake every day. The small school setting also allows me to have a personal realtionship with my professors and my piers.

Carthage College is not just a college, it's a family. As much as we learn from our professors, we learn even more by the people and activities Carthage allows us to surrond ourselves with.

The teachers are friendly, knowledgable, and care about the success of their students.

I did not consider other schools.

Carthage, though it is a small school, has a lot of constant activity and enthusiasm. Many of the students here are involved in many groups that are not only fraternity or sorority based. There is also a constant pressure on academic excellence though students are not overwhelmed for the most part to do well. This fusion of school spirit and academic prestige make Carthage unique because even though students know when and how to have fun there is also the focus on academics. Students work together, with faculty and staff, to achieve great progress in education.

It is the only school that has its entire campus located on Lake Michigan. The lake is beautiful and makes up for all the smoking of kids on campus. Also, the school has an extensive J-term program with many different classes and the change to travel for the month of January. Many of the kids back home don't even know what J-term is, so I consider myself lucky this way.

Beautiful scenery, kind professors, and a good variety of courses to select from.

Carthage is very committed to helping people fit in with on-campus activities.

the student to teacher ratio is alot lower than other schools therefore help is more available to the students. the teachers are great and they pore their hearts out on teaching their students. they are open and easy to approach.

The landscaping is beautiful it is right off of Lake Michigan so you can go outsiude of your dorm and your on the lake. Also, it's avery tight knit community here at Carthage so there is a family feel here at the school. The biggest plus is that the classes are challening, but the classrooms are small so you get alot of attention from your Professors.

Professors actually know more about you than your name.
