I love it! Everyone is so welcoming and nice. The professors are willing to work with you and we are all very invested in our sports, extracurriculars, and mostly our academics. Each one of the faculty members are very helpful when you need them and the students are too and very supportive to each other.
I enjoy my time at Limetsone, it is a smaller college and allows for a personalized learning enviroment. There is something at Limestone for everyone from sports to major and minor choices. Limestone is neslted in a small town but still has a lot to offer.
It’s a great place to be focused. If you know what you want you will succeed. Plenty of willing community members that put education first. A beautiful and green campus, albeit small. The tuition is quite high, but such is the price of an education these days.
It is a very good college who keeps growing each year. Academically, the college is a very good opportunity to every student for his / her future. On the athletic side, the college has a large number of student-athletes (about 80%); Many Student-athletes are offered different awards which contribute to help the students to pay for their tuition and in this way to obtain their degree in four academic years. Besides this, for the students pursuing a Bachelor Degree, the college also offers the opportunity to take MBA classes (Master in Business and Administration) during their undergraduate program, which would offer them the opportunity to advance their graduate program at the same time as the undergraduate program. This is very interesting as it also reduces the cost of the masters (graduate program) and the time to obtain it as students can start their master degree during their undergraduate program. I believe Limeste College is a great place both academically and athletically for all students who desire to have a bright future; It offers great programs and opportunities!

Well, I went straight into the military after high school so I did not put much thought into the college experience. Being here now I would tell myself that academics throughout high school really get you to where you want to be when you enter into college. In high school you have much more help from teachers and they like to take your hand and guide you. As for college the teachers will help to a certain extent but you are responsible for your own work.
Nothing is really bad about the school
Limestone College is best known for its' personal approach towards learning. The teaching staff is on a first-name basis with their students. The education that one recieves in a classroom is personal as well as nurturing. Being a a private, and moderately populated college gives each and every student a greater chance with the teacher/student close approach philosophy. Whether athlete or non-athlete, all are students first.
My classmates are very athletically oriented and most stray from drugs and alcohol during their respective seasons but party often when practices are over.
Its quiet for the most part and cheap

small town charm that sucks you in and you feel at home
The classes are very small which allows you to develop a good relationship with you professors. This is really nice to have. Everyone knows everyone because the majority of the students are athletes, just over 80%. That is nice as well because you automatically have something in common with everyone.

about the old school rules: no boys in girls rooms after 12pm
There is no sterio-types to be found at Limestone. The only personal trait that should be required is dedication. Sure, there are other characteristics which would be desirable. Here positive traits are honed to be more effective, and lessly positive traits are re-molded.
I am attending the online classes so for me to give advice it would be, if your not very commited toward your studies then you shouldnt apply.
It's a private school. You can make more friends becasue it's not a big school.
Academics are beneficial, but ignored. The professors are very helpful, but only gravitate towards athletic bound individuals.
Most students here have described Limestone as an athletic academy. I personally played on the Soccer team for two seasons and was the biggest mistake of my life as the coach quickly cut out any progress I could have made on my own by keeping any new players he didn't think were good enough out of first team practices and limiting us to the space behind the goal for our practices giving us minimal equipment and blaming us for all our unhappiness. To this day none of the players are here that were here a year ago as we have all quit and gone to different schools. "Partying" in Gaffney is limited to a large group of people getting drunk at one time. There is almost no entertainment save a movie theater/ overpriced bowling alley that fits very few people and is the last place on your list of places to go. Just about everyone drinks with the exception of actual students that are limited to being bored day by day.
Attending Limestone has been very frustrating. Very little to do in Gaffney and travelling takes quite a bit of time. Campus life is limited to occasional concerts and a less than stellar student center that is usually vacant. Academics are probably on par with high school and most of the information taught is spoonfed by professors. Unless you're a below average student athlete I would avoid at all costs
