Carthage College Top Questions

The worst thing about Carthage is the shortage of on-campus employment/work study opportunities.

Carthage College presents a close sense of community. However, the student population is very small and can have negative effects as well. The concept of "everyone knowing everyone" has its benefits, but can also present trepediations. In my opinion, Carthage seemed very similar to my high school expereince.

It is a private school which means it cost a lot of money.

I think the worst thing about Carthage is that there is nothing within walking distance of campus. A student needs to have a car or friends with a car in order to get to any attractions or popular places. On the weekends, lots of kids go home so it becomes very dead and very boring on the weekends, which is why I often leave campus. There is nothing to do, lots of people transfer, and not alot of people enjoy their time there unless they are involved in sports or clubs.

I think the worst thing about my school is the shuttle service that takes us to the off campus parking lots. It's very inconsistent, unreliable, and inconvient. I think it could be approved upon greatly, especially considering how much we students pay in tuition.

My least favorite aspect of Carthage is also one of its strengths. From roughly April through October, Lake Michigan is a stunning and unique feature of the campus. But when winter rolls in and the temperatures drop, walking to class can be a downright dreadful experience! The combination of bitter cold enhanced by strong winds whipping off the lake can make you feel like you are making an endless trek through the arctic tundra. While the shelf ice that forms on the shore is beautiful, I am always relieved to see it melting away as spring gradually returns.

One thing that may be considered bad about Carthage College, by some people, is the small size of the school. Although the school is smaller in size it is still big, full of great career and social opportunites; located in the middle of Milwaukee and Chicago.

The only disagreeable things I can think of about Carthage would be the tuition and the weather. The tuition is rather high and does tend to increase from year to year; luckily, there are a number of scholarship and grant opportunities provided through the school to make a career here more affordable. The weather is Wisconsin weather, which means a lot of colder weather in the fall, winter, and spring, but it also tends to surprise the residents with almost summery days in the dead of winter. The wind off the lake can be a little chilly, though.

This is difficult, but I would have to say the worst thing about my school is the ability to transfer in classes for those that directly go towards my major.

There is nothing bad about Carthage.

At Carthage College the worst thing is the food. As a student you eat a lot and food should be good so that the students are getting a good, healthy meal. Junk food is not the answer these days, but with food tasting bad or not being cooked all the way they resort to junk food. I wish the food at Carthage tasted better.

The worst thing about Carthage is how much the students complain. From the food in the cafaeria, to waiting for the shuttle, to the weather, Carthage students are never short of things that they feel the need to complain about.

I have not started school with Carthage yet but I can say that the worst thing about the campus so far that I can tell is the fact that everything is very spread out. I wish the library was connected to the same building where classes are held. I also feel that communication between the different admissions departments is very poor.

The worst thing about my school is that the campus is large.

Carthage College is an outstanding private college; however, there are a few things that the college forgets to mention prior to enrolling. Security on campus may be plentiful, but quality is out of the question. The time is takes for security to respond to a need is more than enough time to be harmed. The "blue-light help" boxes that are supposedly spread around campus are only in two parts of campus, and you cannot see another box when standing at a different one. Security needs to be better qualified and more active throughout campus.

At Carthage College there is only one negitive aspect. The worst thing about Carthage College is the tuition. The tuition is the worst thing about Carthage College is because the tuition is approximately around 40,000 a year.

It is very closed off from Kenosha, there is little transportation to get off campus so you need a car to do anything or go to the store.

The worst thing about the school is that its not easy for kids with out a car to get off college grounds. The stores are somewhat far away i mean you can walk to them but when the weather is bad out you cant at all. The food at school is good it just get sick after a bit when you cant get other food other than that and fast food to be deliverd to school. so you really need a car at school so you can get out and do stuff other wise your boaed a bit.

The wind chill off the lake makes the temperture very cold for majority of the year. The cafeteria doesn't have the best food. Also, there are so many opportunities to spend your money on campus when, in reality, college students should not be blowing money.
