College of Charleston - Overall ExperienceCollege Prowler0.00
College Prowler Take
Most students acknowledge the fact that at the College of Charleston, they’re experiencing something unique and rare. Not only is the city an interesting and fascinating place, but the years students will spend at C of C will be radically different than they would be at most other schools. Many schools are not located in the heart of a city as Charleston is, and many schools do not preserve the old while combining it with the new, the way the College of Charleston strives to. Although C of C may not have a well-known reputation for superior academics or sports, both the latter and the former are among the greatest in the nation, and many students come to care less and less about the acclaim that Charleston receives. One cannot truly understand the appeal and rarity of attending the College of Charleston until they have been here awhile, and though students do transfer out for various reasons (including simply not being happy as a C of C student), those who do remain here for all of their college years look back on their memories with nothing but contentment and pride. Charleston does its best to encourage its students and residents to enjoy the time they spend here, and students here will never be lacking in opportunity for their career or further education goals. Though it may be small and laid-back, the College of Charleston has many different qualities to be proud of and the students themselves have said that Charleston has become their home.

I love the feeling of this school—it’s just like Charleston—laid-back, relaxed, peaceful. It’s so much better than going to a big university. You can really find yourself and be an individual here. |

I think that C of C can pretty much be the right place for anyone. If you like to party a lot, come here. If you don’t like to party a lot, come here anyway. Charleston is not a place that can be described in one word. It’s a combination of different things, just like the people who come here. |

I feel at home here, and I felt at home almost right away. Sometimes there are things about the city that I don’t like, but the people and the atmosphere more than make up for that. |

I wanted to transfer my freshman year, but I decided not to, and I’m so glad I didn’t! I’ve made the greatest friends here, and doors are really opening up for me with my education that I would have missed somewhere else. |

It’s not a big place, so if you’re looking for career opportunities, you should use your time here to lead you to other cities and other places. But I know people who have gotten really good jobs and have stayed in Charleston, and they’re happy. Charleston does really help people branch out after graduation. |
