College of Charleston Top Questions

Sort of. It is a great place to kick back and have a good time, however, it is also an amazing college academically.

There are lots of girls but the boys are there I promise :) And as for the "preppy" scene it's there but like any college there is lots of diversity from that angle. I have enjoyed watching the basketball team since I came here.

Sort of. CofC is big into working hard and playing hard. There are Fraternities and Sororities, however, these are not the only groups to be involved in. There are a good number of music and theatre groups as well.

very, on both accounts

No, most of the people here are very driven. Students do not come here just to party. Students come here to either get great jobs or get into great graduate schools. We study here.

these stereotypes are not totally accurate. I mean there are rich kids, but thier cool. There will always be stuck up and rude people anywhere you go. Not every student at C of C is druggie! College of Charleston is a party school. There are clubs on every street!

There are alot of parties and fun things to do, but the school work is not easy. I have known several tranfer students from Universty of South Carolina who say Charleston is much harder.

eh, for the most part, but you'll always have your exceptions

No absolutely not. Everyone here is fairly liberal, but it is even across the board. Anyone can find their place here, and if they don't, they did not look hard enough. People here are friendly, understanding, and happy... I believe it is all of the sunshine.

Most of the time, yes
