Carthage College Top Questions

What kind of person should attend Carthage College?

Christopher

Potential alumni for Carthage should be prepared and eager to face challenges. Carthage is a Liberal Arts school, and it translates to a few unique experiences in the cirriculum. As a physics major, I never expected to take a class on Plato and Aristotle. I've been in debates challenging the philosophy of goodness, and I never expected to do that. But I think it's those types of classes that separate Carthage grads from many others. People here are taught a new way of thinking, a wa that inspires me to ask many questions.

Anyone who is self-driven and who can dedicate themselves tot ehir studies should attend this school. While the teachers are outstanding - they make tehmselves available to everyone and really try to help their students succeed - there can be no success unless the student actually puts in the time and energy. The classes require students to pay attention and be interactive with other students so anyone who is overly shy would have go push themselves and learn to interact with other. There are all types of students there, but it is not a party school, so be warned.

Brian

Carthage is meant for kind-hearted students who prefer a sense of community. The majority of the student population are positive, well-intended students who desire to learn and grow; both professionally and socially. Students who desire to build positive and professional relationships with their professors and prefer small class sizes should look into attending Carthage.

Carly

Cydney

There is no specific type of person who should attend the school. The students vary. They have great personalities, are studious, and have a sense of excelllence in their spirits. The location awesome, right on the banks of Lake Michigan.

Grant

Those who excel well at Carthage do a great job connecting with the college community. Those who get invovled in sports, greek life, organizations, clubs, and jobs on campus tend to grow and succeed during college and post-graduation. Also, if you are fond of a close knit community then Carthage is a great fit. It is small enough that close relationships are built with students and faculty, but it is large enough that one will meet new people everyday.

I think that the best type of person to go here would be one who loves the green space Carthage has to offer and doesn't mind a smaller student population, both on campus and in the classroom. If they are interested in traveling, there are many opportunities provided at Carthage to allow them to travel, whether it's for studying, performing, recreation, or volunteer work. The teachers are available to help and love engaging in one-on-one interaction with their students, which allows students to focus and succeed in their classroom objectives.

Carthage does not appeal to just one type or genre of person. Carthage is very diverse and has the student body to show it. All ages, ethnicities, relgious backgrounds, and interests are accepted at Carthage. If I had to narrow it down to a specific quality Carthage looks for in a student I would say that hardworking would be a qualifyer. Carthage is a place for people who want to study and earn their degree.

Awesome! You should be ready to work, but also to have fun. Make friends early and join clubs or sports. But don't forget about school and remain focused. It isn't easy!

Brittany

Students who attend Carthage should be independent, willing to set boundaries and have strong support systems. They must be dedicated to thier work, resilant and interested in learning for the sake of learning. They must be willing to speak in class, give presentations and challenge themselves. Students in drama, art, and choir will be among friends. Students must be interested in small classes and be willing to expand thier minds.

Samantha

Someone who wants to feel comfortable and familiar with the people they see everyday. Someone who wants a community, not just a school, would fit great here. If you can handle having to have a professor you might not like for three or four classes but also getting to know the same five to twenty people in your major really well, this is definately the place for you.

Meredith

Someone who really values a liberal arts degree should attend this school. The variety of classes make it very easy to branch out and try new things. A person who attends this school should also want a small residential campus where it's veery easy to become involved.

Elena

A person who enjoys small clas sized and one-on-one interaction with thier professors, all of whom have the highest degrees in thier field. They would also enjoy family-like ties to thier neighbors residing in thier dorm. One would also enjoy numerous social activities and gatherings, along with popular movie showings. The campus is small, so no need to worry about needing a car to get to a class, one only needs two feet and a five-minute window to arrive on time.

Elizabeth

The type of person that should attend this school is one that is willing to put into the school work a lot of themselves. Those that put a lot of effort and care into their homework, especially when the work becomes difficult and long to complete, earns more in the long run than those that don't put as much as possible into their work.

Felicia

One that is interested in expanding there education and wants to meet some amazing people!

Khristian

Someone who is open-minded but has a good work ethic. Isn't afriaid to go the extra mile and to get to know other people even if they are not your ethnicity or the same religion. Be honest when it comes to who you are. Don't be ashamed is you dont have a major right away. Just stay confident and keep positive poeple around you.
