Any words on the program? How hard is admittance? Love Charleston; in love with the area.
College of Charleston is excellent overall.
However, it’s very expensive from OOS.
What’s your parents’ budget? Would your stats qualify you for some scholarships and would those put the college “within budget”?
My advice is to go on CofC.edu on their financial aid page and to run the NPC to get an estimate of cost. There may also be departmental scholarships available.
College of Charleston does not have a journalism major.
^The student may be referring to:

where journalism is integrated with digital media, etc. Smart move in my opinion.
Oh yes, Charleston is mega expensive. My concern is getting in. I’ve heard great things. It’s my third choice. I live in FL and schools are x10 more competitive for instate schools and no one possesses what I require. 40K is heavy damage for OOS but, it is the same nearly everywhere else too, OOS wise.
What are your GPA and test scores?You can go on the CofC website and see what the stats for students admitted recently. Google " CofC class of 2019" and you can see info on recent admits. If you have good enough stats , you may be eligible for merit money.
