Coastal Carolina University Top Questions

It is a medium sized school with small class sizes that allow for personal contact and friendly relationships with class mates and professors. They are very determined to see the students succeed unlike bigger colleges where the professors dont even know your name.

The art studios were brand new my sophmore year. The studio classes were small, less than 15 students per class and long hours that gave us a lot of time to work in class with our teachers.

The spirit of the professors here surpasses all other colleges I've visited. They know what they are talking about and don't just teach for the paycheck. They enjoy what they are teaching and they make sure that you understand the content by constantly keeping in touch with you. Another thing unique about this school is the campus. I refer to it as the "bell" because of its bell shape on the map. The "bell" is a great campus for walking. When I walk across campus, it is almost impossible for me to not be amazed.

When I was looking at colleges during my high school years, I considered Coastal Carolina University but never ended up applying. I became introduced to Coastal on vacation in Myrtle Beach, I thought it would be awesome to study there but never ended up applying. During my freshman year I ended up hating the college I was attending, so I made a list of everything that I was really looking for in a school. I wanted a school around 10,000 students, somewhere warm, and somewhere with a good Early Childhood Education program, Coastal has all of that and more!

Coastal Carolina has a beautiful campus, an excellent undergraduate program for my major (Marine Science), and a very diverse student body. In addition, Coastal also has a large number of programs and activities for students to get involved in.

Location was a huge deal breaker for me during my college search and I went on multiple college tours and hated so many campuses in the process until I stepped foot on Coastal Carolina's campus; I knew instantly that as long as I was accepted into their University that I would proudly get to call this campus my home because of the unique aspects like Coastal's friendly environment and beach town vibe that I did not find on any other college campus.

Unlike most universities where the campus buildings are intermingled within the public city, this campus is tucked away from public traffic. This gives a really nice sense of being "home". The campus is small but very beautiful.

The part thats unique about my school is that when classes first begain they have this event call the first 54. Which is the first 54 days of college they events plan for everyone to help get to know each other an you would be able to feel confortable with the campus.

Coastal is only 20 minutes away from the Atlantic Coast. There is a melding of many different types of people from all different backgrounds, lifestyles, and upbringings. It is a very eclectic campus that is interesting to be at every day.

Coastal Carolina does not have it's name for the fun of it. This school is literally on the coast of South Carolina minutes away from the greatest beach in South Carolina, Myrtle Beach. Aside from the beach, there are numerous activities to do if you want to have fun like water parks, helicopter rides, malls, outlets, and plenty of seafood restaurants.
