College of Charleston Top Questions

C of C is a great school if you do not want to be isolated in a college campus for four years. It opens you to Charleston a city with all social, economic, and racial classes. There is so much to explore and experience on and off campus

The school does not have alot of resources yet for real estate or finance. other more business focused schools offer alot more resources and teach you more programs that you will need in the furture. CofC is trying to get up to par but they are just not there yet. FOr the pricve it is a good education but I think that I would have learned more somewhere else for my major. I believe that this college is great and will always be. just like anywhere else it has its downfalls but the location and people are great and for the most part the teachers are helpful and easy to understand

I think that the size of CofC is perfect. It is big enough that people don't get caught up in each other's lives and it is small enough that individual attention in class is provided and making friends is easy--you see a lot of the same people on campus all the time. There are always activities to participate in each week as well as many organizations and opportunities in your major area as well. Also, being in downtown Charleston, there is always a lot to do and a lot of new cultural events to experience.

I love the size of Charleston. It's big enough that you don't know everyone, but you're bound to see a friendly face on the way to class. I've also ended up in a lot of classes with friends, which is awesome. The campus is incredible! My favorite thing about College of Charleston is that you could walk around and take pictures for a brochure any day of the week - students are always in the cistern or sitting on benches reading or eating lunch with a friend and sporting College of Charleston gear.

Cofc is a great school, the campus is beautiful and is surrounded by a beautiful city which has a lot to offer. The class sizes are great, not too big, not too small; the professors really get to know you and are always available if you need help. The administration is a big help too, especially in the business school, they not only care about your life as a student but want to ensure that you get a job after graduation. We do not have a football team so school spirit is not as high as other schools, but you rarely find a student at the school who does not like it. In fact most students love the college. The most common complaints at the school have to do with the library not being open 24 hours a day. The school provides a great liberal arts education and has a student body from all different walks of life.

CofC is a small school located in one of the most interesting city's of the south. There's a nice "campus" feel, but you can walk around the corner and completely forget that your dorm is only 2 blocks away. There's so much cool shopping just seconds away, which is especially good for those moments when you're about to fall asleep from pretending to read your boring history assignment, and need a little pick-me-up. You can just take a stroll down king st. grab a coffee from one of the 3 Starbucks or from one of the cute independently owned coffee shops, take your pick, and you'll be refreshed (or just really frustrated that that amazing dress at Hampden costs $400 and your parents only give you a fraction of that to spend each month!) Another notable aspect of Charleston is all of the incredible restaurants! Though the dining hall is rather impressive, they tend to slack off every now and then, which makes dining out quite a treat!

College of Charleston is a pretty small school compared to large state universities. I think you get a more personal experience here than you would at a larger school. It's located in the heart of downtown historical Charleston, which is a beatuiful area. Everything from shopping, dining, to nightlife are within walking distance to campus. The beach is only 15 minutes away, so most people take advantage of it on sunny days. I personllly don't feel like that there is much school spirit, simply because there is no football team. Come football season, it would be nice to have a team to root for, like all my friends at other schools. Coming from out of state, a lot of people don't recognize C of C and don't really know where it is, but that's not to say it isn't a good school.

It's a great location, right in the heart of downtown Charleston. It's bigger than people think, but the size is just about right I think. There's not as much school pride as there should be, but I think one of trhe reasons is that the school doesn't promote it or the sports enough...

The best part of C of C is its people. I love getting to meet so many different interesting people. The size is perfect for me. I see new faces everyday, but theres always familiar ones wherever I go. If I could change one thing about C of C it would be the social scene. I feel like its getting harder and harder to socialize. The city is tightening its rules and really leaves no options but to just not go out. I understand laws are laws, but when I bust my ass all week and would like to relax and see my friends one night of the week its nearly impossible because everywhere they go is some possible source of danger. Even if I myself don't drink I still can't even go hang out because the only place people go here are the bars. And I also think its embarrassing how fast our school sells out. Like pile driving across from the library or having a movie crew take over the entire place. I guess my tuition just isn't enough to buy me a quiet seat in the library.

The best thing about CofC is its location. If your someone who grew up near the water then this is the place for you. The battery and waterfront park are a short walk away from all campus buildings and it is truly beautiful. The weater is unbeatable as well. I wish that the school was more involved, meaning that you acutally felt like you were on a college campus and not just walking through the city. There needs to be more campus involvement and school pride. Also, I wish the CofC was more well known and repuitable. Outside of South Carolina very few people have heard of it. The biggest recent controversy would have to be the Seaton Brown issue, when a member of our SGA was almost impeached.
