College of Charleston Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at College of Charleston accurate?

Evan

absolutely

Becca

Somewhat. There are a lot of girls and there are quite a few in sororities. But, having lived with a total of 4 sorority girls without being one myself, I can say that there are great people in all different kinds of organizations on campus. Not all students go to the beach all the time, I hardly ever go during the school year. But it is a fantastic feeling knowing it's less than 15 minutes away!

mostly

Jessica

Quite.

Bri

For some

I know a lot of people who party but a lot of people don't party as well it is a mixture of both. I think that more people smoke pot then not but there are a few that don't. I've heard that the school as a very high STD rate but I havn't heard anything about while going there but that doesn't mean it isn't true.

Sara

very.

Lauren

Not neccessarily. There are lots of different types of people, and it's part of what makes the CofC experience unique and fabulous.

1. I had a terrible first semester because I believed all the sterotypes I heard/read about C of C. Yes, there are very pretty girls there, and a lot of them are in sororities, but people don't get accepted into College of Charleston for their cup size, or hair color. I also convinced myself that I would never hang our with sororites girls because I assumed I could never relate to any one in a Barbie doll cult. But, to my suprise, I became best friends with three girls who were all in sororities, and I'm living in a house with them next year. It just goes to show you, never judge a book by it's cover. 2. Yes, there are a lot of girls at C of C, but they are not as "easy" as some guys might assume. There arn't so few males that girls will jump on any guy who looks there way, we've still got priorities! 3. College of Charleston is just as much as a party school as the next. Yes, there's usually a party or three going on on the weekends, but it's not like a scene from Old School every weekend. As far as work load goes, as with any school, it really depends on what classes your taking and your professor. Some courses like the history, English, anthropology etc. require a lot of reading and frequent tests or papers, but others arn't any more rigorous than a high school class, it just depends.
