College of Charleston Top Questions

For about half of the campus

Well yeah there were a lot of liberal people here, which was sort of a wake up call when I stayed at the dorms Freshman year, although I've lived here all my life. But, I think that was a good thing- opened my eyes to a lot of stuff. You don't need to be in a sorority to fit in here- none of my friends have been in sororities- it is not the be -all- end all to being social here.

The students at C of C definitely know how to party but I don't think it is anymore of a "party school" than any other college... Its just college. While some students dress "preppy" it isn't unusual to wear sweats to class. I like that there is usually someone more overdressed than me and someone more underdressed for class.

In a way, most of the guys here all dress the same preppy way; s.perry boat shoes, short shorts, pink collared shirt, coast sunglasses, and most importantly "croakies" (the string that connects to sunglasses around your neck). There are a lot of good looking girls but the ratio to guys is probably close to even.

Somewhat, it's really hard to have an accurate stereotype when almost 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the school is all female.

Somewhat, but only in a small number. Many people here are not like that at all

somewhat. I mean once you get to know people, the stereotypes aren't really all that accurate. But if you take the student body for just how they look and dress, then yea this stereotype is very accurate.

Not in the slightest. CofC is the Harvard of the South, with an encouraging faculty, stimulating environment and social atmosphere.

Based upon my experience so far, that is completely incorrect.
