College of Charleston Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Clayton

I love the student body. There is a lot of diversity and opportunities to make life long friends. Charleston, being a port city, gets a TON of different people, food, and in general, culture.

Stephanie

The best thing is that it's not in a "college town". Charleston is a fun bustling city in itself and the college just adds to the experience of being in such a fun coastal place!

Angelina

The campus is beautiful and it is only 15 miles from the beach! Most of my professors were amazing!

Margaret

The best thing about the College of Charleston is definitely the location. However, it is also one of the worst things. The city is so beautiful, and the beach is only minutes away. I dont know why anyone would not want to come to school here. There is history EVERYWHERE you look and the people are so friendly. It is sometimes hard to concentrate on school with such wonderful people and such a beautiful place. It is important to make good friends with the same ambitions as you. Making those friends will help you stay focused.

The fact that the faculty, city, and surroundings cater to enabling one to explore who they are for themselves. The majority of the student body lives off campus, meaning they are "out on their own" for the first time and living life. It's these times where one grows up and examines who they are and what they want out of life.

Alexandra

The research opportunities available. The history students have hands on activities in the city itself with all the history and culture available. Also the psychology program is very strong with student-teacher research opportunities, which allows time to really know the material and learn from doctors who are very knowledgable on the subject.

Cara

The best thing about the College of Charleston is the location. Charleston is a beautiful city and it has a great atmosphere for young people. The school itself is very involved in social activities outside of the College and therefore Charleston provides just that.

Kyle

Its location. The city is amazing and has a lot to offer as well as the beaches and businesses. There's a strong connect to the community and the people that live and work here.
