Carthage College Top Questions

Carthage College is not just a college, it's a family. As much as we learn from our professors, we learn even more by the people and activities Carthage allows us to surrond ourselves with.

The teachers are friendly, knowledgable, and care about the success of their students.

I did not consider other schools.

Carthage, though it is a small school, has a lot of constant activity and enthusiasm. Many of the students here are involved in many groups that are not only fraternity or sorority based. There is also a constant pressure on academic excellence though students are not overwhelmed for the most part to do well. This fusion of school spirit and academic prestige make Carthage unique because even though students know when and how to have fun there is also the focus on academics. Students work together, with faculty and staff, to achieve great progress in education.

It is the only school that has its entire campus located on Lake Michigan. The lake is beautiful and makes up for all the smoking of kids on campus. Also, the school has an extensive J-term program with many different classes and the change to travel for the month of January. Many of the kids back home don't even know what J-term is, so I consider myself lucky this way.

Beautiful scenery, kind professors, and a good variety of courses to select from.

Carthage is very committed to helping people fit in with on-campus activities.

the student to teacher ratio is alot lower than other schools therefore help is more available to the students. the teachers are great and they pore their hearts out on teaching their students. they are open and easy to approach.

The landscaping is beautiful it is right off of Lake Michigan so you can go outsiude of your dorm and your on the lake. Also, it's avery tight knit community here at Carthage so there is a family feel here at the school. The biggest plus is that the classes are challening, but the classrooms are small so you get alot of attention from your Professors.

Professors actually know more about you than your name.
