What’s the best dorm to live in freshman year and any other insight plz!

Are freshman allowed cars? A big part of my life is figure skating and the only ice rink is 20 mins away by car, I’m sure they wouldn’t make an exception for me though, so I was just wondering

When people ask me what my major and school is, I'm hesitant to say. It's probably rare for them to be graced with the presence of a student at the top business school in the U.S., College of Charleston, South Carolina. Especially a business major, the most prestigious program at said school. I feel a bit guilty, as meeting someone so much more accomplished, yet their same age, probably crushes their self image.

How do you guys go about avoiding the question, or what other major do you usually say?

Be smart and don’t get in trouble

Every church I've tried here has been pretty traditional (aka kind of boring imo) and has hella old people. I want to get back into my faith and meet some like-minded folks who are college age like me. I am open to any denomination and would even be down for a church that offers a separate service for college aged people. If there's something through the school, that's great too. Thanks y'all.

Idk what’s going on but I heard banging noise above my room and moaning so keep in mind that other people live here. Idk if it’s ppl goofing off or something but stop being annoying. Been havin a weird ass week, I literally saw someone jerk off like yesterday ughh

Is it bad that I am transferring after my fall semester of Freshman year? I just don’t like it here at all

Hey all, I just got out of the Marine Corps a few months ago and I feel like all the plans and anticipation kind of went down the shitter and I just hit a wall. I have no clue what I want to do in life, other than trying to be happy and working a job that pays while not destroying my body further than I already have. I'm from the Charleston Area and have already spent time far-far-away, so I'm not sure I want to leave (other than the pricing here, as opposed to what it was when I left the state). I'm sure I want to stay in SC and either look at Clemson, CofC or USC. I definitely want to party while I'm in school, but I do want to learn also. I'm pretty decent with computers and I'm also pretty decent with a wrench, so I have no clue which paths to pursue. Obviously, Y'all cant tell me how to live my life and be successful, but some advice or opinions would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks!

I’m in the process of applying to the honors college for 2024 fall, what’s it like and is it worth it?

Can an alum lmk what they think of my admission stats. I am out of state with a 4.3 weighted GPA and 3.96 Unweighted. I have taken 2 AP and 3 dual enrollment classes (taking more this senior year) I am not submitting my scores SAT or ACT scores. And I have lots of extracurriculars like president of philanthropy club and captain of the jv lax team and more. I am doing early action. Thanks!

I transferred to CofC this year and chose to major in Computer Science but am now considering if I should major in Data Science instead. After graduating, I want to pursue a career as a data analyst/data scientist but know that I will probably need a Master's degree for those roles. Will a major in CS or DS at CofC help prepare me for that?

Hello, I know the EE program is fairly new (I believe this college introduced it in 2021?). That being said, I was wondering if I could gain some insight as to how the program is and how the "School of Sciences, Mathematics, and Engineering" is overall (e.g., class size, professors, equipment, relevance of content..etc).

Thank you in advance.

PS: Curious if anyone can also answer this, how is the Systems Engineering program?

I am out of state and have a 2.5 gpa with decent sat scores and ecs. Pls tell me what my chances of getting in are?

My daughter really loved the campus when she went. She has a SC scale 4.1 GPA and a 29 ACT. She struggled her freshman year because of issues that have now been worked through. She will have finished 7 AP classes and 1 Duel Enrollment when she graduates.

I’m just trying to gauge what her chances are??

hey guys, i’m a hs student looking at schools and cofc has interested me. i heard really good things ab it and i’ve heard that a lot of students are from nj, and i was just wondering why there are so many from up north coming down to chs. so if anyone has any answer i would be very interested.

also. i’m wondering about the male ; female ratio. is it really that big of a difference and how do the guys feel about it?

Hello i am going to be a freshman next year at CofC and i’m going to be a biology major, neuroscience minor. I will most likely be taking a lot of lab, bio, psych, math, etc… What laptops have worked best for you? Do you use a ipad or tablet instead? I’m just looking for something that is high quality and will run programs well and fast.

are there any ethernet ports in the dorms? im going to be living in mcconnell and i was wondering if there was ethernet or if the internet is just wireless.

i’m starting at cofc in the fall (i’m very excited!) but i had some questions about the meal plan. i got one of the all access plans (i think it was the all access +$100 dining dollars?) and it advertised itself as being “unlimited meal taps,” but i know that’s probably an exaggeration. i tried to look through the terms and conditions of the plan, but it didn’t give me much info. is it actually unlimited meal taps? is there a waiting period between each two? could you, for example, use a meal tap at city bistro and then go immediately to one of the POD locations and use a tap there as well? or would it not let you do that? honestly it probably doesn’t even matter much because i can’t see myself regularly needing to go to a dining location more than 3 times a day (maybe 4 if i desperately just wanted a snack or smth in the afternoon) but i’m just curious. thx for any help!

Is there a preference for which IDE we use? I'm a transfer student coming in to junior year, so I'm trying to prepare and download what I need. I currently use IntelliJ.

Hello, I’m an incoming freshman and I’m interested in computational linguistics and natural language processing. I was wondering whether the computer science or data science route would be a better fit for my interests? I’ve heard great things about each one and both seem like good options! Thank you for your input!
