College of Charleston Top Questions

very laid back and apathetic student body

I had in mind that all the girls would have long blonde highlights, wear designer jeans, carry vera bradley bags, etc. There's definitely a stereotype that CofC's a party school.

A lot of people think C of C students are rich kids only going to school to party.

Rich, snobs, preppy

I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I would say that going into the school I thought it was going to be very southern, conservative, and preppy. The campus tour guides also made it sound like a college town.

A lot of people from other SC school think the kids at CofC are all stoner hippies. There definitely are some heady people here, but it's not the majority. We've got a lot of different kinds of people here. Preppy Northerners, Fratty guys, jocks, prissy girls, but most of them just fit the external stereotype. Most of the time when you actually talk to these people they're pretty chill and hospitable. A lot of very different, very friendly, easy going people attend CofC.

Nothing but a bunch of partyers who are always drunk implying a de-emphasis of academics by the College.

Party alot

students are stuck-up, "preppy", a huge lack of diversity
