Charleston Southern University is a wonderful school. It is not perfect by any means but definitely worth spending four years of your life at. The education here is great. The level of education is excellent but can depend on teacher. But like every college, you have to ask around and find out how certain teachers do different things. Many of the teachers genuinely care about you and if they don't know you by name, they will gladly know it if you introduce yourself and talk to them. Some majors are stronger than others. Biology, Nursing, Christian Studies, Music, and Education are a few of the very best ones. The student body is wonderful. However, the fact that almost half the students commute can seem to hinder unity. I believe that college is what you put into it. You don't make friends by never talking to anyone. Those who are lonely and miserable here are ones who have made it that way for themselves. I, on the other hand, have found many very wonderful and fun students who I am proud to call my friends. The majority of the students are driven, excited about what career they are pursuing, and hold to Christian values (whether they are Christians or not). Another important aspect is that it is a Christian school. Because of this, it has required chapels, many christian activities, required Christian classes, and no tolerance for alcohol and tobacco. If you don't want any of this, then don't go here. Its not for everyone and those who hate it here are probably the ones that never should have decided to go here. Dubbing it a Christian college does not make it perfect by any means but it certainly raises the level of excellence in many areas. Sure, you'll have professors you don't agree with and meet people you dislike, but college is what you make of it. Now, you have to choose a college you'd be comfortable with, but in general, Charleston Southern University is a school that you'll be happy at. Not to mention that the campus is beautiful.

Academic life was good when I was a freshmen, to a certain extent. Now it is pitiful. When students have to find logic propositions in a math class from the bible, it is time to look for a new college. As for companionship or parties, this is the NEW BOB JONES. It reminds me of the early Nazi pictures I have seen around 1933, with Hitler smiling as he was shaking hands. I hate this college must it is too late to transfer, and ... who now would take me?
