The most beneficial aspect of Carthage is the learning environment. The decreased class size offers students a more personal relationship with their professors; no teaching assistants are used. The Professors are always available for questions or concerns about the class, or even for help with topics outside the classroom. The advisors also are very concerned about making the four years at Carthage the most successful experience possible. Beyond that, there are several other beneficial services offered to students such as study groups, the Writing Center, and the Career Center, as well as numerous student activities and clubs based on interests.

The availability of faculty and the adjacent bar. I've gotten to know several faculty members quite well.

The best thing about Carthage College is the small class size and accessibility of the professors. Becuase of this, I have been able to build and maintain positive relationshipd with faculty--most of which are highly regarded in their respective fields.

I consider the size and location the best thing about my school. It has great surrounding atmosphere and I absolutely love that it is on Lake Michigan. It provides relaxation when needed. The size of Carthage College is perfect for me. I grew up in a small town and Carthage reminds me of home.

The faculty and staff here at Carthage College do an amazing job at making students feel welcomed and understood. Professors are friendly and willing to meet up over coffee to discuss things having to do with the class and even outside of class, and the staff are always willing to accomodate student's needs so they can concentrate on fulfilling themselves as students and young adults. They actually WANT students to have a good time and make the best of college, and if it means that Carthage is not the place for them, they are willing to accept that also.

The best thing about carthage is the small class sizes and the individual attention from the faculty. They are always willing to help students and love interacting with students.

The campus itself is the best feature about the school. Carthage is right on Lake Michigan which is beautiful, (although it gets a little cold in the winter) but since it is a small campus, there isnt much walking to and from class. Also, The dorms are a decent size and everything is modern and well kept.

I love the location. We're placed perfectly in the middle between Chicago and Milwaukee, which makes visiting either city incredibly easy. As a theatre major, it means that we can go to see shows more often than if we were farther away because the drive is easier. We are also directly next to lake michigan, providing beautiful weather and an awesome view from most easterly dorm rooms.

The best thing about my school that I consider is the majors that ususally take five years, only take four because being able to be done in four years is great. You will be able to get start paying loans back faster and being in the business world before others who are going for the same degree you are. Once you find a decent job, you can go back and get your masters even!
