Coastal Carolina University Top Questions

That getting involved was so important

I wish I knew how student loans work and what I was going to be getting myself into.

I wish I known the cost to live in this area.

Before I came to Coastal, I wish I would've known how inefficient the Coast RTA shuttler are. I live in University Place which is half a mile down the road from the campus. It's considered on campus housing so the shuttle runs from there to campus to the science center and back around. The shuttle is/has never been on time. They had me late for some of my classes. One time I waited an hour for the shuttle to come and it was really cold.

I wish I would of known more about the housing situations.

Before coming to Coastal, I wish I had known about all the plans for change like contruction for instance. Construction costs have caused tuition costs to rise. It has also created other complications for Coastal, like parking issues and re routing issues. This is all construction that Coastal decided to began during the academic year which has really affected students a great deal.

I wish I knew that you can apply for more scholarships. I didn't know this until this year, it would have really helped out last year.

I did a lot of research on Coastal Carolina University before I came here. I toured the campus, the suronding area. The class size, academics expectations. I felt prepared when I came here and there were not many supprises.

Prior to attending this school, I wish I would have know that the tuition would raise in order to beautify the campus. Granted this beautification is necessary and appreciated, as a student, the cost of tuition is always high.
