Carthage College Top Questions

Carthage College, though it is a Lutheran school, does not put any kind of pressure on the students as far as religion is concerned. Freedom is granted to all, and the people are some of the friendliest people I myself have ever encountered. The food is good here, the classes are definitely manageable and some are super easy, and the campus is a beautiful beach scene, like from a postcard. I love it. =]

Carthage College is a small school, but is also a very diverse school because many of the students and professors come from all over the US and the world. Another advantage to it being a small College is that students have the chance to get to know the people in their graduating class. Attending a small school also allows studnets to find out which professors they learn best from and then students have the opprotunity to take all of the classes that professors offers.

The school has a great teacher to student ratio. You recieve great one-on-one attention and the teachers look out for their students. You have the opportunity to voice your questions and get them answered. The faculty is also available to help the students out of class. The campus size is great since it takes at the most 10 minutes to get from one end of campus to the other end. There is also a great opportunity to meet new people and make close friends.

I fell in love with this school the minute I opened their first letter. They are a tight knit community and are always looking to help their fellow classmate or student. I ended up not going to this school because of the cost, but now a semester later I am transferring there because I long to have that community value that I didn;t recieve at my prior school.

It being a small private school, thats not to far from home helped. Also the fact that people here literally know everyone on campus, especially the food staff. It makes you feel so comfortable when you know all these people and they know you.

Carthage College is such an amazing diverse place! We have students that hail from over 30 different countries and as many as 35 states in the US. That's simply astounding for a school with only 4500 students.

The most unique thing about Carthage College is that the class sizes are very small with only about 20 students per teacher. The professors are very willing to help you out one on one and help prepare you for your next step. I really enjoy having the professors available during various hours because this helps if you have a question. Another good thing is that the professors actually know you by name, as well as, some personal things about you which helps you feel like you belong here.

community and class sizes

Carthage is unique because it is right on Lake Michigan. Whenever I need break from homework or just need to clear my mind, I walk down to the shore and just love to watch the waves. It is so peaceful and beautiful.

The high level of interaction between professors and students. The profesors here actually care about you and being that Carthage is so small, you get more out of them than anywhere else.
