College of Charleston Top Questions

Kind of. It is a surf town and I would say half the kids are laid back and half are preppy.

Probably

yes

Sometimes.

Yes

Every college has parties and people who are only there to party. I haven't been to other colleges so I don't know if there is more partying at CofC, but it never seemed to me like there was a huge amount of it.

There are a few surfers obviously but the curriculum is pretty demanding. We have great academics. It's not hard to make good grades, but at the same time if you don't have your head on straight it's easy to fall off the wagon.

About the parties and drinking--- pretty much. I never was one for parties... I'm not very social myself. But there is no lack of party in Charleston. If you are a social butterfly, there is always SOMETHING going on. Those who have no self-discipline and can't learn to balance study and fun WILL be weeded out in the first few semesters. As for us being sad? ^_^ It's just because everyone is always looking at their feet! I admit it's a rather morose sight, but it's impossible to walk on those bricks without tripping unless you watch where you're stepping!

like i said before... not at all.
