CHC is not worth the money. Almost everyone is on scholarship, but the tuition is around 30,000 a year.. I think this is how they attract students. The school became coed only a last year, to avoid closing, and the administration does not know how to handle it. During orientation I remember an RA saying "If we listen through your door and hear sexual noises you will be fined." They fine you for EVERYTHING. There is almost no parking. Around 4 clubs. NO SOCIAL LIFE WHATSOEVER. The academics are excellent with very small classes. Teachers are always available. I am still wondering where the money goes… Very small fitness room, decents dorms, classrooms falling apart, no student center.. caf closes at 6 and it's the only place to get food. You have to buy or lease a laptop. Only same sex overnight guests and only upon approval. Visiting hours. Hidden costs all over the place. Oh! I almost forgot.. since the students really dislike the school (most only go because of the scholorships) they would pay students, mostly boys to sit outside or play sports on the lawn while tours of prospective students went through so that it looks like there is a student life.
