College of Charleston Top Questions

College of Charleston is very close to King Street which houses an abundance of the bars in the city. The bars and clubs all throughout the city make for some pretty loud nights with unrestricted drunk college students walking around. The location of the university is also its worst aspect because there isn't too much for a person to do socially unless he/she is 21 years old or has money. A lot of things in Charleston are quite expensive on top of school.

The worst thing about my school is the cost. The cost is the worst thing, because it makes me stressfull when I still need more scholarships to pay for the first year. I have about $9,000 in scholarships and a grant, but I still need more to make sure I am able to afford this school and not put any burden on to my family memebers. I do not think possible working as a tutor is going to pay the interest on the loans. I just want to reduce them, so I can have fun learning at CofC!

The worst thing I would say about College of Charleston is the students' socio-economic status. I say this because as you walk around campus, you will see the "frat-boys" and the "barbie-girls". The ones that have money and know they can afford anything they want. I feel like they parade their money around but not all of them are like that. Future students need to be open to meeting other people outstide of their socio-economic class.

The worst thing about my school would probably be dining services. They have changed a lot since my freshman year. We used to have a cafeteria and a cafe where you could get food to go-- then then changed the cafe into another "mini" cafeteria. They also took Einstein's Bagels, a great place for breakfast, off of the meal plan. I think that they could stand to have some more variety when it comes to on-campus dining services.

The only bad thing about College of Charleston is that we have no resturants that stay open late. I love my college and the city but they didn't plan very well for college students who get hungry at 2 a.m. when they're pulling all nighters. Microwaved food just doesn't cut it sometimes and even then the chioces available aren't that great.

During rush, sororities are very prominent throughout the entire school.

Move in day for fall semester. It is August in South Carolina, is incredibly hot, and is HORRIBLE. The college calls it organized chaos.

The worst aspect about the College of Charleston for me is finding parking. I do not live on campus and have to commute to and from class. Parking in Charleston is difficult to find most of the time anyway let alone during classes when everything is taken.

The sidewalks are a little tricky, but they add character to the school and that's the only negative I can think of.

The worst thing about CofC is that we do not have enough school spirit when it comes to sports. I was a cheerleader in high school and sports were what we lived for so it really bothers me that every basketball game the seats are not packed with raging CofC students with painted bodies and noise makers.
