Potential alumni for Carthage should be prepared and eager to face challenges. Carthage is a Liberal Arts school, and it translates to a few unique experiences in the cirriculum. As a physics major, I never expected to take a class on Plato and Aristotle. I've been in debates challenging the philosophy of goodness, and I never expected to do that. But I think it's those types of classes that separate Carthage grads from many others. People here are taught a new way of thinking, a wa that inspires me to ask many questions.

Anyone who is self-driven and who can dedicate themselves tot ehir studies should attend this school. While the teachers are outstanding - they make tehmselves available to everyone and really try to help their students succeed - there can be no success unless the student actually puts in the time and energy. The classes require students to pay attention and be interactive with other students so anyone who is overly shy would have go push themselves and learn to interact with other. There are all types of students there, but it is not a party school, so be warned.

Carthage is meant for kind-hearted students who prefer a sense of community. The majority of the student population are positive, well-intended students who desire to learn and grow; both professionally and socially. Students who desire to build positive and professional relationships with their professors and prefer small class sizes should look into attending Carthage.

There is no specific type of person who should attend the school. The students vary. They have great personalities, are studious, and have a sense of excelllence in their spirits. The location awesome, right on the banks of Lake Michigan.

Those who excel well at Carthage do a great job connecting with the college community. Those who get invovled in sports, greek life, organizations, clubs, and jobs on campus tend to grow and succeed during college and post-graduation. Also, if you are fond of a close knit community then Carthage is a great fit. It is small enough that close relationships are built with students and faculty, but it is large enough that one will meet new people everyday.

I think that the best type of person to go here would be one who loves the green space Carthage has to offer and doesn't mind a smaller student population, both on campus and in the classroom. If they are interested in traveling, there are many opportunities provided at Carthage to allow them to travel, whether it's for studying, performing, recreation, or volunteer work. The teachers are available to help and love engaging in one-on-one interaction with their students, which allows students to focus and succeed in their classroom objectives.

Carthage does not appeal to just one type or genre of person. Carthage is very diverse and has the student body to show it. All ages, ethnicities, relgious backgrounds, and interests are accepted at Carthage. If I had to narrow it down to a specific quality Carthage looks for in a student I would say that hardworking would be a qualifyer. Carthage is a place for people who want to study and earn their degree.
