The best thing about CCU is all the resources available. I know in the Wall Business building the teaching staff as well as the advisors make it a point to let the students know that their door is always open ; no appointment is needed. A few of my professors have made themselves available during the weekend , including Sundays to give extra help if need be.

The best thing about Coastal Carolina University is the positive environment. In my first semester of college, fall 2012, I optained a 4.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale. The professors and my advisor helped motivate me and realize my potential of achieving greatness. Coastal Carolina's environment is very encouraging, they have a whole college dediated for the undecided because over fifty percent of students change their major throughout their college carreer. College can seem scary but Coastal is welcoming and helps students on the right path for their future, I know they have helped me.

School spirit! CCU has such a good atmosphere. Students are encouraged to join as many clubs and organizations as their heart desires. From intramural sports to varsity sports and from Student Government Association to greek life, CCU really tries to help everyone find their niche in college life. CCU coaxes students into an independent lifestyle and lets students develop memories that last forever!

I consider the best thing about Coastal Carolina University is that it is a smaller college than most. There are a few reasons I consider this to be the best thing about my school. One reason is because it is fairly easy to get from one side of campus to the other, and it is almost impossible to get lost. Another reason I consider this to be the best thing about my school is because it is easier to get one on one time with professors and counselors as well as getting to know them personally.

The best thing about Coastal has to be the small class sizes. There are only about 30 kids in each class so the teachers know your name and are easly approachable.

Coastal Carolina University’s location is definitely its greatest asset. Any day of the week, I am able to find something fun, cheap, and/or easy to do. We are 20 minutes from Myrtle Beach, which obviously is an amazing place to spend an afternoon, as well as all the various tourist attractions. Additionally, Conway has great night life with lots of clubs and bars nearby. I have found everything I have needed related to school, shopping, entertainment, food, and everything else, close by. Myrtle Beach is definitely a great place to go to college!

The best thing about CCU is the feeling of a close knit communtiy. It has a small school feel to it, although the student population is rapidly increasing every year. Proffessors care about students learning, and go above and beyond to help students learn more efficently and effectively. Also, there is a strong spirit of "bleeding teal" throughout campus. Students take pride in this school and in the community. Everyone is friendly and possess a similar goal---succeed.

I love the campus. It is clean and very beautiful. The classes have to be the best part. All the classes I have had have been so much fun and the teachers have been extreamly helpful in helping me learn the material. Many of the classes were made even better by the teachers. The facualty here is amazing. They can change a class that can be very dull into a class you would not want to miss.

andrew

I would have to consider the best thing about my school is the events and activities that constantly go on at the school. There isn't enough time in the day to even do half the events going on at the school. I would also have to say that most of the students enrolled at the school are involved in at least 1 club, even though there are over 120 clubs you can join. But if there isnt a club you want to join you can start your own club up!

Taylor

One of the best things at Coastal Carolina is the campus. It is not such a huge campus that you can get easily lost and it is not so small that you know everyone.

I believe my college has well-proportioned classes. There aren't too many students in one classroom, therefore professors can effectively communicate with each student. We aren't recognized as just a number at our institution which allows us to be acknowledged even more by faculty and staff.
