College of Charleston Top Questions

College of Charleston is in the heart of downtown Charleston. It is surrounded by the busy downtown city life. Being there gives a person so much to do in his/her free time. There are multiple parks with beautiful views of the harbor and skyline. Downtown Charleston is a historic city so you feel the history and read about it as you walk through the streets. Most of the stores and houses are deemed historic buildings. The views and activities are wonderful.

It's location and class size. The city of Charleston is historic and beautiful, not to mention fun and filled with great restaurants, shops, bars, etc. The classes are small, so each student has the opportunity to get a one-on-one experience with the professors.

This school is unique because it is located right in the middle of a historic downtown area, and there are so many beautiful beaches nearby as well. This is a friendly community that welcomes college students. Classes are small enough so you receive individual attention and professors take the time to learn each student's name and get to know them personally.

Although there are 10,000 undergraduates that attend this college, it seems like a very small campus setting. I previously attended the University of Missouri with over 30,000 undergraduates and a campus that extended for miles. Comparing the College of Charleston to my previous university, I would say there's a significant difference in size as well as attitude among the student body. Because there are less students, there is more friendliness and more familiar faces that I see and experience everyday. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.

College of Charleston is unique because it is in the middle of a city. I loved living a block from King Street my freshman year in the dorms and now Iive in an old house style apartment in a neighborhood full of college students. Charleston is a beautiful town and to have the opportunity to study here is amazing. Asides from the city campus the college is also 15 minutes from 3 different beautiful beaches. The college offers a plethora of sports including surfing. It is an all inclusive college with something for everyone to do.
