The best thing about Carthage is the real sense of community. People actually do care about each other and try to help each other in terms of studying for classes, or if they have something going on in their personal lifes. Everyone just is nice and tries to help

The small class sizes are excellent for getting to know classmates and professors on a personal basis. It also helps to make my learning experience better, since professors are more accessible and easy to talk to.

Emily

I love how I go to a small college. There is a great relationship between teachers and students. The teachers take time to work with students outside of class, and respect each student's views and questions. Coming from a large high school, I really like the small community feeling Carthage College has, as opposed to a large school.

Alice

The faculty and staff really do care about students and their success in school. The fact that their care shows motivates students to strive for their best and succeed academically. The availability of the faculty and staff also adds to the atmosphere at the school. Having great faculty and staff allows one to feel great about the quality of education that one receives from Carthage College.

Steven

The best thing about Carthage College is the close-knit community. The teachers really get involved with your life and they know what you're involved in around campus. This also is possible due to the small class sizes. I never had a class with more than 25 students. Some of my classes had 7/8 people in them. This made it easier to learn because of the individual attention you receive in class.

Julie

The best trait Carthage College has is it's size. I transfered from the University of Colorado at Boulder which was so huge that I felt lost. Carthage is so friendly and small, that not only makes you feel like a part of the campus and community, but there is also much more interaction between students and their teachers, as well as interaction between student.

Victoria

The people you will meet will become your best friends. With the right people, it can be one of the best experiences in your life. There is a lot to do here, but you have to look for it. And there are a ton of different clubs you can join.

William

Student to teacher ratio is really great in this school. The school is smaller, but that allows for small class sizes. The relationship between the students and faculty is a lot greater because of this. Students are able to recieve more help from teacher then, and are able to learn a lot more.
