College of Charleston vs. University of Alabama - help deciding

<p>I'm trying to choose between these two schools, and I can't decide!!</p>

<p>I'm a very dedicated student, I'm thinking about studying business, and I would do the honors college at either of these two schools. So to any students that attended or are attending either of these schools, what are the good and the bad.</p>

<p>I'd like to know how the academics at these two schools compare (I really want a challenge). How's the social life; are there parties? do you have to be in a fraternity? do under-age students have the ability to party. And how the general atmosphere is; are people friendly, is there school spirit, is the campus the right size? pretty? Which one is more likely to get me a job / has a good alumni network. Do you like the school? Tell me everything and anything you can.</p>

<p>Thanks alot guys. Looking forward to college!</p>
