College of Charleston Top Questions

we definetly have some stuck up southern rich girls, however, this school also has a lot of really chill people too this is def the party school on the beach kegs every weekend and we go to the beach when its nice This school is full of very beautiful people

The ratio of girls to guys is pretty accurate. Most of the students are at least middle class to upper class. Most of the students are white. However, the College is quite academically challenging. Most of the students hit the beach only on the weekends.

1. Yes, there are extremely preppy guys/girls are COFC. 2. Yes, the student body is very religious. I, personally am not. The speaker at graduation even quoted the bible. My family was very offended. 3. Yes, COFC student party very hard, however, there are a small group of students that choose to do other things. You have to really look for those people and they are not apart of any Greek organizations. 4. Yes! COFC is mostly female. 5. No. I transferred in as a junior from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. I was not challenged at all.

Some people fit the stereotypes but most don't. It's like any place you'll ever go in your life-there are stereotypes everywhere but everyone at this school is SO nice and open it's a shame that people would judge and stereotype without getting to people them first.

Yes and no. College of Charleston does have great nightlife, whether it be bars or parties in the downtown area. However, this definitely does not reflect the academic aspect of the college. The classes at CofC are challenging and interesting. The teachers each have a passion for the subject they teach, which results in a much better learning environment than many other school. Yes, you can party at College of Charleston, but you can easily find a balance between having a good time and accomplishing what needs to get done academically.

The male to female ratio is horrible for girls but I'm hoping that will turn around soon. Also there are many kids from up north usually the Maryland area however there are many kids from south carolina and atlanta. Not all of which are spoiled and rich. this school is so ecclectic.

YES. ABSOLUTELY. Unfortunately, the reality of CofC students is even more exaggerated than their stereotypes. For example, everybody is more controlled by Greek life and more obsessed with trends, fashion, shopping, and appearances than I hoped they would be when I committed to this school.

While the majority of the student body is white, the college is very liberal and open to all races, cultures, nationalities and religions. Being a student originally from a different country, I felt completely comfortable with the campus environment. I think that the college works hard to try to promote diversity and break cultural barriers. We have many international (language and culture) clubs and an international festival every year. For some reason I have been asked several times if C of C was a women's college. While the majority of the student body is female, somewhere under 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}, it is not and never was a women's college. And it's something I don't think anybody really pays attention to. Guys, there's plenty of girls to choose from, just don't forget about your studies...haha. And girls there's a primarily male military academy, The Citadel, about a mile from the school.

To a degree, yes

Yes
