Coastal Carolina University Top Questions

The library, the gym, and a majority of the other facitlities on campus are in serious need of rennovation and upgrading. They are shoddy looking, in-efficient, and really quite pathetic. The shuttle system and the availability (or lack there of) of on-campus housing have SERIOUS room for improvement. There are also not enough near-by shops or restaurants, for kids who do live on campus or for people with out cars, at this school a car is an absolute necessity or else you will be stranded.

The worst thing about my school is the size. Since it is so small, there are not many choices of on-campus restaurants. Students sometimes grow tired of eating at the same place every night. Parking can also be difficult due to the size of the parking lots.

The worst thing about my school is that there is not enough parking and not enough dorms or apartments at the beginning of the year. If you are going to park on campus, you have to get there at least thirty minutes before class because you will most likely be parking very far away from your classroom and walking. Also, at the beginning of the fall semester, some students had to share a one-person room because there was not enough space for everyone.

One of the worst things about Coastal Carolina is the food in the commons. It could be a lot better for what the students pay for.

Although the location right next to the beach is great, and the town of Conway is nice, the area around the school is not so great. The campus is small, which is great when you're running late for classes, but housing is limited, so most upperclassmen live off-campus. This is a stressful situation for a lot of students, figuring out where to live and the cost of that living situation. It also takes away from the unified campus feeling.

I consider the school reputation to be the worst thing about my school. Alot of people from up north want to come to Coastal because it has the rep of a "party school". Many of these students end up coming for just a semester and then they gotta go back home to the local community college. Thankfully I have never taken part in that scene at Coastal and I'm glad I have not becuase I constantly bust my butt to do good in all my classes and its starting to show through my grades.

The worst thing I've experienced at Coastal, so far, is communication with some of the professors. I've had a beginners spanish class where the professor could hardly speak english. I've also had a math professor who was getting a bit too old to teach. He mumbled his words together and no one could understand him. We basically had to teach ourselves the material.

Since I live about a mile from the school, the worst thing about the school is the shuttle buses that goes around the campus everyday. I know they are on schedule, but sometimes they still will have me running late for classes when they decide to come. There is like 5 shuttles that run everyday so why they run so slow. Besides that, everything else is pretty cool.

Sometimes the staff can be unorgarnized , It is very frustrating. For example, the staff that puts students in dorms can sometimes mess it up.

The worst thing about my school is sometimes the way professors treat some of the students. We as students understand this is not high school and it is time to grow up and be held responsible but we also can make our own decision and should not be treated as kids as some professors do students.
