Carthage College Top Questions

Before coming to Carthage College, I wish I would have known how underpreparred I would be for this new experience. High school was a breeze for me, and I never really studied much. I wish that I would've really focused on learning how to study prior to coming to Carthage College. By knowing that I would've needed to study a lot during college, I would have definitely changed my way of learning throughout high school, and focused more studying and comprehending better. This would've definitely preparred me for my future years of college.

I wish, before I came to this school how truly close the professors are with the students. Even with just one semester under my belt, I have really great relationships with my professors. I have even been offered some awesome opportunities by a few. If I would have known that about the professors beforehand I think I would have made my decision so much sooner.

How few places there are to eat, and how terrible their hours can be.

I wish I had known how much tuition would increase every year but also how much was included in my tuition like health insurance, visits to the nurse, admission to activities, etc. I wish I had known how much AP credits boost you up in terms of getting to register for classes first.

I wish I had known that I don't need to take Calculus the first semester, then I could have brushed up on my Pre-Cal and gotten an A.

The food options at this school are somewhat disappointing, but a small sacrifice overall for being at such a wonderful campus.

Carthage is very good about giving students all the information needed and I wasn't surprised by anything when I started.

That courses are way different then high school courses.
