Victoria

I think that Coker College is nice. The teachers there or at least the teacher's I've had were helpful as long as you ask. The college events they host, they really want students to join in, even by constant emails. It's spacious and quiet in the morning and at night so, that's always a good time to think. However, it requires a lot of money to get in and stay in. It's a very conflicting topic for myself to discuss about considering that if your GPA is lower than 2.0, that you can get academic probation. But, that's something that doesn't really demand attention over. Just know that you'll always feel safe.

Taylor

Coker College is a place for people whom like close intimate colleges. Coker allows for people to interact and know people on a wide scale. It has some local businesses that are very supportive and willing to provide a wide range of opportunities, and the community that surrounds the school is very supportive, and interacts with students on a regular basis. Overall Coker has been an amazing school that feels like a home away from home, and I am so glad to be here and have the amazing support system that I have.

Kyle

I am an incoming freshman for Fall 2016, and can honestly say that the interaction and directives I have received from the Coker College administration is of rock star status. I feel a part of the Coker Family and have yet to move in! I am so excited about my future at Coker.

Kacie

Coker College tries its best to make sure that all the students get the best classroom experience. The class sizes are small and on a personal one on one basis. The teachers make sure to help as much as they can and always provide extra help. I, personally, love Coker College.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    Always being an athlete, I knew it was going to be harder when entered college because of practice, time away for games, etc. So if I could give myself any kind of advice, it would be to develope better time management skills while stillin high school. I am a senior this year and feel like only now do I have a good handle on what it really means to manage my time effectively. I think I would have also researched a little more my college choices and done a better job with course selection in my early college years.

    Since it is a private college you would think stuck up students and that is far from the truth.

The are no favoritism on campus.
