I chose Carroll because i "thought" i wanted a small school..near a bigger city. ie Milwaukee. How wrong i was. The pretty campus and stone buildings charmed me and at first i was happy. Until i realized that i failed to take into account my major at carroll. I was an art education major and 3 art classes and 1 semester later i had not met a even one other student who had the same major. everyone was either pt or nursing. In my draawing class i was THE ONLY student to have ever taken an art class before... wha-wha-whaaat???? I expected a college art course to be a challenging competitive atmosphere... it was the easiest most mindless class of my life. without really trying i got an A+ on every single project. simply because i was the oonly one who had the faintest idea how to draw. i basically slept walked through all my classes and still made it on the deans list. the botom line is, DO NOT COME TO CARROLL AS AN ART MAJOR, or if you intednd on being acedemically challenged at all. the social life was a complete bore. the campus is in an all residential area, if you dont have a car... plan on being utterly bored 99% of the time. there was little to no diversity and overall the college made pathetic attempts to engage students. (most of which were commuters) "stay on saturdays" had to be implemented in order to enchourage students to stay on the weekend... basically it didnt work, carroll always has and always will be a commuter school.

there were some plusses, the dorms were nice (specifically kilgour) and i hear they are building a new apartment style dorm... its a good school if your are interested in PT. that or you plan on commuting or just cant let go of high school.

Ok here goes...Carroll college is not a college in my eyes, simply a large high school filled with clicks and dumb girls texting their boyfriends on cell phones ALL DAY. I and many others are bored out of their minds most of the time. Their extracurricular clubs and what not but are very random and strange at time(anime club is most popular for instance) the sports are fairly good and have good coaches and assistants (but many come here for no other reason but sports which i think is stupid) As for Majors in general, if ur a guy you are either personal trainer or an athletic trainer if ur a girl a nurse or a teacher. There are some really cool approachable people here but a large amount of the student body are just simply dumb most of the time. The dorms are dirty as hell(but its ot the janitors fault) and the food is rarely godd to say the least. in conclusion if you have 21,000 for college a year and are extremely focused on what u want to be and want an extremely small school with tiny classes the some times make no sense (my roomate's in maskmaking...WTF?) by all means come to carroll. This school is great if your from illonios or the surronding Milwaukee area, but not for me. 60% are commuters as well, I hope this
helped. REALLY look in to Carroll before making a decision, i would advise NOT coming here undecided. It is not a horrible school but it surly isn't a good one either.

The school use to be more of a party school - Waukesha police and campus officials have really cracked down over the past couple of years. Expect to party in small groups or whenever you can get away with it.

Professors are mostly pretty nice - you have the occasional few who are too absorbed in having their doctorate degree and not helping - but most are friendly and helpful.
