I
am an out of state transfer student who came for
the Fall 2009 semester. College of Charleston was my
top choice, because it was a small school, where I
felt like more than just a number, and the city
is one of my favorites. When I visited the school
last year, the students seemed friendly and they all said
the same thing “We love it here!”. Once I
got here, the College of Charleston that I had had
such a good feeling about somehow disappeared. The students
weren't friendly and I found myself alone for almost the
first half of the semester. Now I'm starting to
meet people, but finding people to become friends with can
be a challenge if you are a transfer student, since
everyone already has their friends. Drinking and partying are
a huge deal here, and if you don't enjoy doing
either of those things you will have a hard time
finding your place. The dorms are also lacking in
the social area. You meet almost no one if
you live on campus. For the money, you could
live off campus. The city of Charleston is a
wonderful one, but make sure you bring a car, as
you will feel isolated downtown if you don't. The teachers
here are very helpful, and really try and get to
know the students. While my time here hasn't been great,
it has gotten better. My advice to anyone that is
thinking about leaving is to stick it out at least
a year and then see how you feel.
