Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Average I transferred to Carthage because I liked the program I chose, the campus was beautiful and the students seemed to be more down to earth. Once at Carthage I discovered that for the most part, this was true. The campus, definitely very pretty, I still like the program I am in, and I found the students to be a lot more approachable than at my old university. I've managed to make a few friends on campus, despite living off of campus, and I've been able to join a couple of organizations on campus, so while being social can be a challenge on campus, it's all dependent on how much you put into it. There seems to be a mix of kids on campus, in terms of their backgrounds, you'll come into people that you'll hate because they've never grown out of high school, and you'll find people who really love school, and you'll find the medium, so there's a little something for everyone. The one thing I am worried about, as graduation looms, is being able to find a job coming from such a small school, but it's a sacrifice that I was willing to make, I came from a much larger more well known school, but I chose to go to a smaller school, it's very important, if you choose a small school like Carthage, to make contacts and make the most of the school. Overall, I would say if you're looking for a "bar scene", don't come, if you want a small town laid back school with a pretty campus, come here. However, be prepared for a crap ton of school.

It is known as a very good school and Graduates got first dibes on some of the best jobs. My experiance and perception of this school is extremly destroyed. This school has screwed up my paper work and records 3 times so far. They are very disorganized and make huge mistakes that disrupts your goals, money, your graduation date, and your time. So far I have been misleaded several times by advisors and administration staff that I am desparate to feel safe and comfortible in my own school. Last semester I ended up taking 2 classes that I didn't need but was told I needed in order to graduate. I was also told that I would be graduating in Dec 2008. Because of this mistake it has set me back a whole full time semester. In addition, I received a list of classes from my advisor that I needed in order to graduate. 3 classes on this list were classes that I already have credit for. So that means if I would have scheduled and took these classes that would have set me back even further and would have cost me MORE MONEY and MORE TIME!!!! Also, the the people in the offices are very un-professional and rude. They all just keep pushing you around to other people and they all have no idea what they are doing. SOME of the professors are very smart but are really bad at teaching. This causes a lot of problems because as students we are expected to do good and not being taught correctly makes things impossible. Some of the professors are so self absorbed and un-organized that it makes me want to walk right out of class. I wouldn't recomend this school in regards to my experiance and my crushed dreams of getting a degree from a school I can be proud of. I now am stuck at this school until I can finally graduate and spend another 35000.00 on a degree from a school I am no longer proud to attend.

I've experienced numerous problems that, had I know about them sooner, would have been deal breakers for me. The administration is much more worried about their pet projects (the new dorms, the student center, etc.) than they are about current students and real problems on campus (the current state of the existing dorms, having just one meal plan option, things of this nature). Some completely asinine things have ticked me off this year, things that make me feel like I'm in some kind of college twilight zone. Examples include: plowing the parking lot directly between the dorms with construction equipment starting at midnight on a weeknight, no hot water for showers in the morning being common, and the entire senior graduation check in process (which was over the top ridiculous/time wasting).

It is a great school academically and people are really focused on grades and school. The night life can get a little boring, but only if you don't know how to make your own fun. It's a dry campus, which has both its benefits and disadvantages. There are certain things that Carthage needs to work on, but overall I would definitely recommend Carthage to anyone looking for a private school with small classes and some of the best professors out there.
