College of Charleston Top Questions

Too many girls, not enough guys.

Friendly, mostly women, maybe 70-30 ratio, 2/3 from South Carolina, Greek life is not as popular as other southern schools, not a lot of jocks at the school, population is not very diverse as far as race is concerned, gays are not rare on campus, but come as a shock to many, most students are relatively financially stable, lots of students work, sandals are fashionable almost all year round in class

CofC is stereotypically full of sorority girls, but really anyone can fit in. We have such a great variety of people that anyone can find their niche and fit in.

not diverse

Honestly, CofC does not have a super diverse campus. However, more ethnicities and religious backgrounda are becoming more prevalent on campus.

Our student body is represented by students from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and 21 other countries. The diversity is refreshing :-) Overall, the student body is politically aware and active yet open-minded and agree to disagree. There are several student groups, and many of them are open to everyone. We have four different eating locations. The main cafeteria is pretty nice and large. The food isn't like gross high school cafeteria food.

There are a variety of ethnic groups/ religions/ etc.. at CofC, however, it may feel like you are surrounded by upper class southerners-some snobby. Not too bad, though. Please remember CofC is a liberal arts school, so don't be surprised.

The CofC campus is becoming more diverse. There have been many improvements in getting students involved in different activities. From recreational to educational clubs and organizations, there are many opportunities available

diverce student body with many ethnicities represented. open minded and accepting of all life styles and preferences

The students here in my opinion are VERY liberal, but nice!
