The school is very community oriented. Mostly everyone knows someone here.
I absolutely love Charleston Southern University. It is a small school with great academics, sports, and extracurricular activities. Professors are almost always available and small class size provides the ideal academic setting. There are a variety of extracurricular activities to get involved in at school and in the surrounding area due to its ideal location on the outskirts of the beautiful city of Charleston, SC.
Going to Charleston Southern for the first year was very overwhelming. It is not the biggest school, but a lot of people do attend it. Everyone is friendly and nice to be around. It is basically like a second home. I love the people and the school itself. The athletic programs are a great experience. I would recommend any and everyone!
CSU is a small private school. I love the student-teacher ratio. The Christian based atmosphere and curriculum gives one a sense of belonging. CSU also gives one multiple opportunities to serve my community. Extracurricular activities such as football and volleyball are some of the things I enjoy. This is a great school in a small community.

If I could go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior I would tell myself to learn good study skills. This advice would help me to study better, because in high school I didn't really have to study. In college you have to study, you can't just get by without stuyding. So, if I already possessed good study skills coming out of high school it would really benefit me as a college student.
Thre security.
That commuters are rarely informed of anything. That I would have to find out everything for myself.
I love the Christian enviornment.
There isn't any discrimation at the college I am attending. Everybody is welcome, but I will say that if you are ready to begin a journey then CSU is the right place for you.
Charleston Southern University, is a great opportunity for any student who wants to further their education.
They are friendly, kind, hardwording, and determine.

A person that is looking for a really good teacher student bond and a place that isn't too far from anything he or she will ever need.
there is a not alcohol policy for all students
Our school is best known for our Christian environment and the way that our campus revolves around Christ.
At St.John's university you have so much diversity and a huge campus. I love the quiet friendly atmosphere and the different options of food locations.
Charleston Southern University is a wonderful school. It is not perfect by any means but definitely worth spending four years of your life at. The education here is great. The level of education is excellent but can depend on teacher. But like every college, you have to ask around and find out how certain teachers do different things. Many of the teachers genuinely care about you and if they don't know you by name, they will gladly know it if you introduce yourself and talk to them. Some majors are stronger than others. Biology, Nursing, Christian Studies, Music, and Education are a few of the very best ones. The student body is wonderful. However, the fact that almost half the students commute can seem to hinder unity. I believe that college is what you put into it. You don't make friends by never talking to anyone. Those who are lonely and miserable here are ones who have made it that way for themselves. I, on the other hand, have found many very wonderful and fun students who I am proud to call my friends. The majority of the students are driven, excited about what career they are pursuing, and hold to Christian values (whether they are Christians or not). Another important aspect is that it is a Christian school. Because of this, it has required chapels, many christian activities, required Christian classes, and no tolerance for alcohol and tobacco. If you don't want any of this, then don't go here. Its not for everyone and those who hate it here are probably the ones that never should have decided to go here. Dubbing it a Christian college does not make it perfect by any means but it certainly raises the level of excellence in many areas. Sure, you'll have professors you don't agree with and meet people you dislike, but college is what you make of it. Now, you have to choose a college you'd be comfortable with, but in general, Charleston Southern University is a school that you'll be happy at. Not to mention that the campus is beautiful.

Yes, all know of these, but since many truly are among the believers, they do not care. In addition, it is true that the lower end students are accepted at this school where they cannot get in other schools because of grade point average or SAT scores. Generous awards are offered at 'open house' sessions for incoming Freshmen, and students disenchanted with the system are told to 'Stay Away' from the perspective students.
What can you do on a weekend that does not involve drinking, you ask above. You had better NEVER drink or you have sinned before the almighty Hunter, or the Himmler- Herr Dr. Coleman - COLDMAN - like ice in the veins. He will suck the life out of you and smile as he shakes your hand.
At this college, you are either with Jesus or not. If you join the jesus freak community, then you get little scholarships and possibly graduate. If you hold any free opinion, it WILL be held against you by your professors by grades, enrolling in Junior programs such as school of Ed, and ostracizing by other student who WILL rat on you. Scholarships with not be renewed, but you will NOT be told the reason why.
The Library is a great quiet place to get work done. Java city is also a great place to study at certain times of the day and great to meet friends to hang out. During the warmer weather, the benches around the pond are really wonderful
Anything. A lot of sweatpants and sweatshirts. Some people somewhat dress up, others don't at all. The teachers dress nicely though.
