The living situation for those on and off campus can be frustrating. The house on campus that I lived in my freshman year was disgusting (mold growing on the wall, poorly reconstructed rooms). I understand that was have a lot of old houses in Charleston, but if you are going to redo them and turn them into student housing, DO IT RIGHT. My ex-boyfriend was helping me move into my freshman house and barely placed his hand on the wall while moving something and it went right through the wall! I was horrified. I was also sick ALOT when I was a freshman and I'm sure that it had to do with that house. I've been sick maybe at most twice a year since then, but when I was a freshman I was sick like every month. That is probably my biggest problem with CofC, well, that and some of the asshole professors I have had and heard about. I guess that you get that at any college you attend though, so it's something you live and learn from. Overall, I think College of Charleston is a great school and it's an awsome place to live. You just CAN'T beat the amazing weather. I'm used to it, because my hometown isn't far away, but boy do I love being able to wear my flip flips 10 out of 12 months a year!

its an awesome school - im from the north and yes its really different = but in a good way - its its own thing - and i think its been good to be far away from normal-cy - to really get a better understanding of who you are and who you want to be

Movies and television shows often film on campus. It's kind of annoying.

Some of the professors are great... but some are egotistical and pretentious. Ratemyprofessor.com is a great tool for getting a feel for certain departments and professors before you register. The women that work in Einstein Bagels, which is on your meal plan, are the rudest employees on campus... so beware! The college sponsors a program called "SafeRide" for students that need a safe ride home when they are out. The college pays YellowCab to pick up students but the cab drivers are rude and oftentimes take an hour to two to pick you up.

Honestly, CofC wasn't my first choice school for college. I wanted to go to Tulane University in New Orleans, LA and would have given my left leg to go there. My parents said no to Tulane, so I picked CofC. Now, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. If I ever transferred to another school, I think I would want to return to Charleston and CofC in a heartbeat. You'll fall in love with CofC. And sure, there are times when I just want to go home, but overall, Charleston is one of the best places to go to college. And CofC is a great choice!

cops are pretty lenient with public drunkeness, but we have a great safe ride program for those who are drunk and don't wanna drive or just don't feel safe walking back to their dorm from a friends dorm. they can call a number and an on campus sec. officer will escort them back no questions asked. def. take advantage whether you're drinking or not, it could save your life. and bikes are a must!! get one and ride it everywhere!
