The College of Charleston Experience

I chose the College of Charleston because of the beauty of the location, the study abroad programs, a liberal arts education, a major interest offered, and because of the moving experience of being somewhere with a deep history.

I think that the curriculum is great from the perspective of the arts, but it is lacking in the health science/STEM fields. However, I enjoy the liberal arts education style because it allows you to become a more well-rounded student.

The education fees are efficient, and done entirely online through a confidential portal accessed through your student account. Predictions for fees are weighed into total school cost but a student could survive here just fine with just a meal plan and a living space. The campus is compact.

I think that the exam structure is good because it is not universal. In most classes, it is up to the professor how they are going to style their exams. However, the courses are not too heavy on finals students should feel prepared if they are present and engaged in the classroom.

The faculty here is very kind and helpful, and the environment created is very intimate because it is a small D1 school. The professors have been high-quality.
