My daughter just graduated College of Charleston
Overall - B
Academics - B ; I’ll disagree because she was in two groups which were subsets of Honors…so the academics are there if you’re a top student and get into these sub groups
C+ Value - for us, an A+ but given regular tuition and cost of the area - that’s fair.
Diversity - B+
Campus B+ - very subjective. My daughter thinks it’s stunning, I think it’s gross.
Athletics B+ - but you have no football team 
Party Scene A - maybe understated - you’re a block from King Street
Profs B my kid will disagree but…i’m sure like every school they have em good and not so good - she had one really really bad one in the poli sci dept.
Location A - if you want to be in a lively city, it can’t be beat. If you want to be in the sticks, it’s not for you.
Dorms C- ; I mean I wouldn’t let my dog live in their dorms…but I did my daughter !! They were uninhabitable. So C- or F must be the same. That was the Honors dorm. I know they are renovating one a year.
Food C+
Student Life A-
Safety C+ - well, you’re in the big city.
Top 3
- Friendly for the most part
- Motivated
- In Search of something
I think the male/female ratio should also factor into kids - if you’re a hetero guy and go to C of C, you’re going to have a good shot at getting a girlfriend if you want one!!!
