Carthage College Top Questions

I like that we (as students) get to know our porofessors and each other on a deeper level than class mates or educators. I see many of my professors as people i can go to if I'm having a hard time managing all my course work, r something similar. I suppose I was expecting a huge lecture hall, where we listen to one persone drone on about the subject, then leave. Carthage really surprised me in a great way, the average class size os around 20 people, so gettign to know everyone is easy!

The unique thing about my school is how close knit everyone becomes, whether it's a student to student relationship or a professor to student relationship everyone is there to help out and see one do their best.

Almost all of the classesare under twenty five students. I believe there is only two classrooms that can hold more than fifty students. THe small classes make it easier to know the other students and professors. Plus Lake Michigan is only about four hundred meters from the campus so the view is absolutely amazing and the weather can get a bit chilly but is mostly fair.

there is a great view of the lake

Small class sizes

I condsider my school unique because it is located right on the shore of Lake Michigan.

Carthage, though it is a small school, has a lot of constant activity and enthusiasm. Many of the students here are involved in many groups that are not only fraternity or sorority based. There is also a constant pressure on academic excellence though students are not overwhelmed for the most part to do well. This fusion of school spirit and academic prestige make Carthage unique because even though students know when and how to have fun there is also the focus on academics. Students work together, with faculty and staff, to achieve great progress in education.

It is the only school that has its entire campus located on Lake Michigan. The lake is beautiful and makes up for all the smoking of kids on campus. Also, the school has an extensive J-term program with many different classes and the change to travel for the month of January. Many of the kids back home don't even know what J-term is, so I consider myself lucky this way.

Carthage College, though it is a Lutheran school, does not put any kind of pressure on the students as far as religion is concerned. Freedom is granted to all, and the people are some of the friendliest people I myself have ever encountered. The food is good here, the classes are definitely manageable and some are super easy, and the campus is a beautiful beach scene, like from a postcard. I love it. =]

Carthage College is a small school, but is also a very diverse school because many of the students and professors come from all over the US and the world. Another advantage to it being a small College is that students have the chance to get to know the people in their graduating class. Attending a small school also allows studnets to find out which professors they learn best from and then students have the opprotunity to take all of the classes that professors offers.

The school has a great teacher to student ratio. You recieve great one-on-one attention and the teachers look out for their students. You have the opportunity to voice your questions and get them answered. The faculty is also available to help the students out of class.

I fell in love with this school the minute I opened their first letter. They are a tight knit community and are always looking to help their fellow classmate or student.

Another good thing is that the professors actually know you by name, as well as, some personal things about you which helps you feel like you belong here.
