I have enjoyed Carthage College in my first year! We have some good sports teams that are fun to watch and tons of performances. The smaller classes allow for more intimate conversations between professors and peers in and out of class. It's been helpful to know that my professors know what kind of student I am, not just a face in their class. The campus itself is smaller but pretty homey. There's a downtown area about a mile from campus; however, I wish there was an easier way for students to get there. Carthage is also a 30-45 minute drive from downtown Milwaukee, and Chicago isn't much farther. The activities board also hosts many events for students and takes plenty of trips off campus to see sporting events, concerts, musicals, and more at great prices. The campus sits on Lake Michigan, allowing for beautiful scenery when studying or taking walks on the beach.
I think that Carthage College is a wonderful school filled with great opportunities and kind people. The class sizes and accessibility to professors ensure that students are maximizing their academic opportunities. They have plenty of options for on-campus jobs as well as internships through nearby companies. They have a beautiful campus and overall good vibes!
Carthage is a good school, I really like the class sizes not too big. The teachers are very passionate about their job and truly want the best for students. There are many social activities and opportunities for students to grow, get involved, and learn.
Many of the professors are excellent, engaged, and give their all to provide fantastic education. In my majors, I always felt connected to the curriculum and professors. Too bad the administration is terrible and continuously getting worse. They recently fired a number of staff and did away with many humanities and social science degree programs. One of my favorite professors was fired and hired back for much less money after the administration realized no one else could teach their classes. The school still claims to be a liberal arts school but is increasingly heading towards a business/trades school instead. If you're looking for a well rounded academic environment like I was when I went there, I'm sorry to say those days at Carthage appear to be over. I now recommend to soon-to-be freshmen to look at similar schools like Augustana or St. Olaf's if they want the small liberal arts experience. I also tell my friends with a Carthage degree to look into graduate programs before the school's reputation plummets any further. They're clearly prioritizing money-making degrees over ones that actually encourage intellectual stimulation. After decades of financial mismanagement, I can't say I'm surprised. But to charge the amount they do for an education and not provide what they say they will, it's well worth it to steer clear of here. It makes me sad to write this because I had high hopes for the school and my professors were outstanding. However, I feel the warning is needed at this point. The best professors are looking to move elsewhere, as they should.

From my college experiences, i have discovered a new person inside myself. I was able to discover new interests and a giant door of opportunities while going to college. Attending college and pursuing education is of course beneficial because my goal of becoming a teacher/educator and making a difference in young teens and adult lives can only be justified by educating myself. From college, I have become more open and found my true calling, education. If I did not explore the college environment, I would have not found what my true joy is and a career fit for myself. The college experience has helped me out in so many ways and is still a tool and a journey to complete. The two years I have spent in college have been the fastest, yet the most valuable years in my life. It is at this crucial time that I will be making decisions that affect my entire life in the future. That is why I believe college is right now the most important priority in my life. It has opened my eyes and ears and has made me a more rational, mature, and confident person for the future.
Some people have problems with the lack of class choices. Not every major people want is offered here at Carthage and people need to make sure that what they want to study is offered here.
Carthage College is a very prestigious school that appreciates the ideas and opinions of their students and faculty, while trying to make the college experience the best available.
The people are the best part of Carthage. Everyone is very friendly and caring. The professors want you to succeed and do their best to help you be successful. The students will become your best friends. Even people you don't know will show you kindness by holding open the door, even if you are still 10 feet away.
The classmates I associate with are very studious, and they are willing to help newcommers find their way around campus.
The worst kind of person to attend my school would be someone who doesn't want to be active in any way. I found that the way to be successful at my school is to be active, not only in the classroom but also when it comes to meeting people and making friends. Most people leave this school because they don't go to class or because they don't make any real friends.
Many of the instructors in my field (Musical Theatre) are either well known or have accomplished much in the field. I believe the staff here is very talented and well rounded.
A person that is open minded and driven.
I wish that I had known how much money I would need per year.
It seems hard to get into the classes i want or need sometimes.
My university encourage each student to give back to their community through social service activities.
The campus is beautiful and calming, the professor are informative and willing to help. The general population is of energetic, friendly people which makes it easy to feel a home.
Academics at Carthage are very good. You get the education you pay for and are able to take full advantage of all that is offered.
Stereotype of students at Carthage is rich or stuck up. I think for the most part people are down to earth and very intelligent.
