College of Charleston Top Questions

Hippies, frat boys, Southerners, un-involved normal kids

"it's a total party school"- not really. There is def a lot to do for the party-type kids but that's really only if you're 21 or have a fake i.d. (and it better be a good one). "100's of girls...and they're hottt!!"- there are a lot of girls and a lot of good-looking ones too, but don't come here for the girls. "the school is so easy and classes are easy and it's just so chill"-it is a very laid back campus, but the classes are not all easy and most of them are not just easy classes you take and skip whenever you want. the teachers are great, but there's always that one teacher who requires tons of reading and has super hard tests so don't think you can come here and party and just not go to class.

Preppy rich snobs whose parents pay for everything and drink too much.

That they all do coke, they all smoke pot, they are a bunch of rich, white kids, they go to the beach everyday, and the workload is light and not challenging.

drunk sorority chicks, stoners, hippies, beach frequenters, surfers, athletes, stupid, dumb as a pole, southerners, rich yankees, ratio of women:men is 9 to 1!!!, lesbians and sluts, jocks and fags

Umm, I don't know perhaps that C of C is considered a big party college.

"if they were any more laid back, they'd fall over!"

There isn't much diversity. Very laid back students.

The biggest stereotype that I knew about before coming here and that is perpetuated is that C of C is a major party school. Also that the academic programs here are less than spectacular.

That many are rich and preppy and like to drink. That there are racist groups.
