Hi! I am a high school senior and have gotten into Rhodes College and College of Charleston, both with a scholarship. I plan on double majoring in business and political science, probably on a pre-law track.
Can anyone give me some insight into the social and academic environment of either school? Any info would be great!
I cannot help with your question, but I would like to congratulate you on two outstanding & interesting choices.
Congratulations! Two truly outstanding choices! And great places to live and learn.
Does one place just appeal more to you?
My son is a William Aiken Fellow in the Honors College at CofC. He loves the school . He has great relationships with his professors. Lots of things to do in Charleston. Quite a few of his classmates have been accepted into very prestigious grad schools, med schools and law schools. They have an advisor dedicated to helping students apply for Honors like Fulbright, Goldwater and Rhodes Scholars. His peers are very invested students who have chosen CofC Honors over Georgia Tech, William and Mary, Wofford and other impressive schools. There are students from all over the country , not just SC students. I hope this helps and little.
Hi! I am a senior fellow working in the Admissions Office at Rhodes College and would love to provide some insight to the wonderful education and social environment here at the college. Rhodes is an extremely rigorous and enlightening learning environment, where the classroom size is about 12 students on average. Here, my voice has grown tremendously as a student due to the professor’s tight-knit classroom setting. Rhodes is predominantly undergrad in the 25th biggest city in the US, so students are receiving internships at fortune 500 companies and also world renowned hospitals like St. Jude. I have grown not only as a student but as a person in general due to the amazing opportunities granted to me by this institution and feel extremely ready to take on the real world next year. As for the social climate, Rhodes takes being a “balanced” student very seriously, meaning obviously academics are the number one priority, but so are clubs, jobs, and athletics.
They are both great choices. If you haven’t visited. Do that if you can over the coming months.
