Carthage College Top Questions

On that television show Cheers, the theme song describes it as a place "Where everybody knows your name." That's one of the best things about Carthage. Every day, you see people you know, and you have classes with many of the same people for all four years. It's nice to know you're not alone. Our professors are knowledgeable and well-respected in their field, but they're even better human beings. Having people care about you and your grade is a combination that you don't find everywhere.

I would say that I brag about the view the campus provides, and even the campus itself. The campus was one of the many reason why I chose to go to Carthage and I like that each day while walking around campus I get to see why I was lucky to have chosen this school. The campus is on Lake Michagan, and waking up to see the sun rise on the lake is an experience that I am grateful for each day. I know that there are some pretty campuses out there but none are better in my mind.

I brag about the location and the great professors. Our professors are graduates of Ivy league schools so we know that we are receiving the best education.

My school has a beautiful campus because it is right on lake Michigan. Also, I am a member of the cross country and track team so I have the priviledge of being a division 3 college athlete. It doesn't take more than ten minutes to walk to class from my dorm. There are so many cool clubs and activities here and everyone is friendly.

I get to live on Lake Michigan!

I brag about how close the students and teachers are with each other. It is very easy to ask professors for help outside of classes, which most of my friends cannot do. The campus being so small makes it easy to make friends and create networking relationships that can assist one later in life. Being a part of the Varsity Volleyball team, I experience something that isn't only about its current players but representing a bigger program. The alumni of the team support us any chance they have which makes it a very special program.

Most of my professors have the highest degrees in their fields.

When I brag to my friends and urge them to visit me at Carthage the one thing that I always have to mention is how absolutly gorgeous the campus is. The campus is located on Lake Michigan and has a great coast line. Carthage is also classified as an arboretum and has no shortage of beautiful nature spots on campus.

I love to tell my friends about all the performances and auditions I am doing at Carthage. As a Music Theatre major, I want as much as experience as possible with performing and auditioning. My classes are intimate and informative, preparing me with all the necessary fundamentals to have a successful audition. If an audition leads to a performance, big or small, it serves as a great learning experience. Again, the small school can produce a competitive atmoshpere, but as an aspiring performer, that helps prepare you for the professional world.

The professor and isntructors are very approachable and helpful.

I would brag that the student to teacher ratio here is one of the best things because you get more one on one time with your teacher and just more attention to a smaller group making it easier to understand and learn. Also all the people here are so nice and I have made so many good and amazing friends. This campus is also only a mile long making it very easy to navigate! I would not trade this school for another ever!

The faculty are really nice, and always helpful.

The college is super fun and all of the people are really friendly. There's A BUNCH of stuff going on everyday, so there's always something to do. It has a religious affiliation and an amazing chapel. The teachers really get to know you and it's great for a little more personal one-on-one help if you need it.

The amazing atmosphere

I brag about the beauty of the college. This campus is so pretty with it being right on the shore of Lake Michigan and having fantastic campus buildings. They have been renovating the campus to make it look as gorgeous as it does now. I enjoy how wonderful this campus is, and the campus has beautiful scenery. The trees during the fall look wonderful and add even more to the beauty of the school. Also, the friendliness of the people here is a plus for this school.

What I brag about most to my friends is the beautiful view of the lake I have, and my awesome class schedule.

I brag about the lake all the time. I also brag about how great the classes are. And that Carthage is a Liberal Arts class, and that I get the chance to try things within several majors outsid of my own. I also like how there are diverse c lub choices. And that I feel like that ht eschool really wants its student to succeed and to find what they will enjoy and work hard at in life.

I don't really find much to brag about in terms of students or professors or staff, but if I had to brag about something, it would be our massive new complexes and construction projects. Take our Hedberg Library, for example; my good friend who goes to Parkside told me that even though they have nearly twice as many full-time students, our library is larger than theirs. Not to mention our new Student Union, due to open in the fall of 2011...

We have some very intelligent students and faculty, and some rather vigorous programs.

I brag to my friends most about the opportunities that are available to me as a student. Internships, work-studies, grants, scholarships, and so much more are all available for me. The professors are all renounced in some way for form for their subject. I love the fact they the college offers real world experience before I ever have to even think about looking for a job. The challenges of an area of work are already addressed long before committing to a major.
