I have had a wonderful experience and my major, enviromental sciences, is easily one of the most innovative programs any where. Yes, I have a lot of work and expect to, but then that is what I was looking for in preparation for graduate school. Like most schools, there is a party element here, but those students do not tend to last long, or if they do, they barely sqeek by and seem ilprepared for life after college. Catawba, or any school, can do just so much for any one student. Future success requires networking in your major field.

Catawba had some toubles just before I got here, but has made the right decisions since then. (Basically it had a clueless administration previously.) Catawba has some strong programs (environmental sciences, theater for sure, accounting I am told) that are geared for exceptional gifted students, and others that do well for decent students or those who are late bloomers. All and all I have had a good experience and would recommend others to look closely at considering coming here too.

Not so bright
Catawba is one school that should be avoided at all costs. They want to badly to be like, Duke or Elon, which are just up the road. It's a complete joke to think that you'll be getting a quality degree at Catawba. It took me almost 2 years to find a real job, that was after i went back to community college and put some more credits under my belt. Most of the faculty are totally unapproachable and extremely rude. For the most part they look down at you if you ask a question. The party scene is disgusting, girls get raped left and right. Overall the entire place is horrible, the classes are a waste of time, the professors are as rude as all get out, and the students are only there for the sports. They're all a bunch of meat headed idiots.

Quite Bright
Catawba has a great campus and a great set of cultural attractions for a small campus. The Theatre Department is awesome and the athletic teams are very competitive for our level and very competitive for our college's size. The Business School is named in honor of Ralph Ketner (Food Lion founder) and Mr. Ketner comes to campus every day! I don't think that is something one could expect of any business school. Great College!
