Anyone who walks onto the Carthage campus can immediately identify many of its outstanding aspects, from the scenic lake view, the beautiful chapel and landscaping, and the positive and energetic vibe that emanates from the students and faculty. But my favorite aspect about the college cannot necessarily be seen externally. I believe the best part of Carthage is the passion the faculty has to providing each and every student with the opportunity to thrive. Professors are committed to not only teaching the required material but also applying it to the real world, encouraging students' growth in both knowledge and character.

The best thing about Carthage is the small community and the friendliness of everyone at the school, this allows you to make a lot of friends and build strong relationships with not only students, but also faculty members. The professors have really made my experience here at Carthage the very best because they are genuinely interested in the best interests of the students and are always open and available to give and offer help.

The class sizes are small, which makes it easy for professors to know each student personally and for them to be easily approachable to the students.

Carthage College has been the best fit for me because of the small class sizes. Students are able to enjoy small focused classes where the professor integrates everyones ideas into the lectures. I believe that small class sizes are key to any type of student becoming successful because no one can slip away with simply sitting in the back of a lecture hall.

Personally, my favorite thing about Carthage College is the small class sizes in the adult education program. It provides a great opportunity for more teacher and student interaction. This makes it harder to fall behind in the classes and ensures that you are understanding what you are doing and learning in the class.

The thing I consider to be the best thing about Carthage is the size of the school. Carthage is a very small campus, but that makes is very easy to get involved and find friends very quickly. Also, being so small, campus is more like a community and the students here all make it a very close-knit community. With a close-knit community, one can find themselves maybe trying things that they never would have without having met so many different types of people.

The professors all have a Masters or Doctorate and teach in an objective and hands-on way.

The best thing about Carthage College is the amount of friendly students and faculty. Since coming in September, I have made a wonderful network of friends and staff members that I can rely on. I feel as even though it’s been a short five months, I can talk about personal issues and also know that they have the best interest in my academic career. Coming to Carthage, I thought I wouldn’t make any friends. I was surprised to find a plethora of upperclassmen as well as other freshman eager to become friends with me.

The best thing about my school is location, location, location. Why? Situated between Chicago and Milwaukee and located on the shore of Lake Michigan, Carthage College has an ambiance that says quaint, small town atmosphere yet is not far from the big city life college age people crave from time to time. Many surprises can be found here. Abraham Lincoln was on the Board of Directors. A Carthage graduate won an Emmy. A Carthage graduate became Miss America. There is even a Carthage graduate who is the only one to graduate with four majors at one time. Carhtgae College rocks!!!

I believe that Carthage College excels at providing students alternate ways of thinking about all situations, creating more intelligent productive members of society

My personal favorite aspect of this school, and its best quality, is the many wonderful learning opportunities offered to students in order to prepare us for the real world while also providing opportunities that only a few people have had the pleasure of experiencing first hand. The trips offered through various classes are just icing on the cake! These trips abroad allow students to make life lasting memories and are valuable experiences.

I feel like the best thing about Carthage is the small size. It has a nice community feeling, and as people do get to know one another more, it feels more like being around family. The class sizes are additionally nice and managable, and can range from about 10 to 20 students. This is encouraging in discussions and you really get the chance to have your voice heard.

I think the best thing about the school is the size. Many may say that it's too small, but it really is a very good size. It feels like the campus is small, but I find myself seeing a lot of faces that I don't know every time I walk down Campus Drive. Also, there is nothing like walking into a class and finding that there are only 9 other students in the class. Learning at this school is at a high rate because of the small number of students.

The overall learning environment is very comfortable. Professors are very approachable, class sizes are for the most part fairly small, and it's great to study outside by the lake when it's warm!

I love Carthage because it feels like my home already after less then a year. It's a smaller school, so I expected that to happen but not as fast as it has. I can't imagine being anywhere else, or with any different friends. Because of all this, I would have to say the best part of my school is the sense of community and family I get every day that I'm here. I can't go for a walk across campus without seing familiar faces or having a talk with a friend. I'm not a number.

Carthage is a smaller school than any State school; every single professor is an expert in his/her field -- we don't hire anyone who isn't. They're more than willing to help you outside of class -- even outside of their office hours. They're all very friendly and willing to get to know you, even well after you've had their class. There are more clubs and activities at Carthage than I can count -- in our music department alone, we have five choirs and five instrumental ensembles. Aside from that, sororities and fraternities abound.

The best thing about Carthage is the faculty. The teachers are extremely helpful and knowledgable. They willingly give out their home phone numbers to students who may need extra help and also hold many regular office hours to address any student needs throughout the week. Not only do the professors help to advise students academically, but they also are happy to talk with students about any and all real-life problems or concerns. These professors are genuinely invested in making sure that their students succeed, making me extremely proud and appreciative to be a student at Carthage College.
