I could answer this in one word: anyone. This college has everything from some of the best shopping in the US to some of the best beaches. Not only does it offer all the regular sports but surfing and sailing as well. There is so much history in the town from fort sumter to the historical architecture that students can LIVE in. There is something for everyone to do in this town and college. Charleston offers a huge amount of activities for anyone and everyone.

Sara

Students looking for a mid-sized university where school will be important, be certaintly not the only focus. There is a lot to do here, however, it's not always easy to make friends. Most of the students here are white, upper-middle class. Many are from the south, though there is a fair number of out-of-staters from the central and north east.
