Charleston Southern University

CSU, despite being one of the smallest universities in the state of South Carolina, it so happens to be a beautiful campus that many other students consider this to be their favorite home. CSU also acts like a role model to help prepare for the real world and use the opportunity to help influence students for their own personal needs.

To be aware of, many other students may not seem all that nice and you may encounter some that can give you a hard time. If some of these issues persist, then you can always seek help from a counselor or the suitable office that can help relate to the problem you are currently experiencing.

Charleston Southern University, a Christian private school, provides unique learning experiences among many other things. The classrooms are excellently lit and ventilated, and the dining hall and surrounding food stops offer students and faculty amazing meals. The dormitories are regularly kept sanitized and tidy for the students. The professors and other staff are very helpful and effortlessly compassionate with the students and each other. Campus events are amazing places to meet other students and develop friendships. CSU offers a plethora of job opportunities on campus.CSU is also very LGBTQ+friendly and open to more religions than Christianity. Overall, Charleston Southern University is an amazing institution with amazing opportunities.

My experience as a freshman at CSU has been satisfactory. I wouldn't say there was anything I didn't like about Charleston Southern University.

CSU is focused on the important things in life. It is a Christian school centered around God. As a Christian, I appreciate the environment CSU fosters. I met some of my best friends there as a result. Academics can be great too. As one would expect, each professor is different, so I speak for an overall when I say that they are efficient teachers and passionate about their roles. The social life at CSU is different than at other schools. It has events they call the Sweet Sixteen Events every academic year that all students may attend, some of them completely free of cost. Additionally, there are clubs that anyone who wants to can join. Personally, I was most interested in the outdoors club, where there were various activities such as hiking and surfing available to those who have no idea what they are doing but want to learn.

CSU is centered around Christianity. Although I like that aspect of the school, someone coming into this school might want to be aware that there are required classes of the Bible and some other things like chapel are required a certain amount per semester. Personally, however, my biggest concern with CSU is that in some of their Christian groups and some people in general, there are a lot of people that come in claiming to be Christians and saying they want to help people. But they only help those easy to help, those that desire it enough and work for it. They seem to care only when someone easily does what they want, even though anyone who wants to be a Christian even if they are “more” broken than another ought to have that chance and have supporting friends to help.

I really liked the environment and how easy it was to make friends. There are lots of places to hang out on campus, and Charleston has so many fun places to go to. The food on campus isn’t amazing, but there’s always something to eat.

It can be hard to find good food, especially if you have allergies. They say they are working to improve that, though.

Overall, Charleston Southern University (CSU) is pretty cool school to attend. The student to teacher ratio was 9:1 (roughly); thus, the teachers would really help out with any questions you had. Furthermore, the quality of education was superior! It was quite difficult at times, but still achievable. Lastly, there were various types of classes that were always interesting. To tell you the experiences I had negatively in the educations. Some teachers were amazing and others were not so great. The instructions were unclear and vague. I only had 2 or 3 teachers like that out of all 30 or so teachers I had. Continuing, chemistry is hard. A lot of students take the chemistry classes at trident (they are transferable as of now). Lastly, one specific professor's notes nor class book was not the same as his tests. This professor's name was Dr. Vetro.

Be aware of what kind of teacher you have. Figure out if they are only notes people, only book people, or if they are both for the exams. This is huge, and some might tell you right from the very beginning. Additionally, they will tell you mostly what the final exam will be at the very beginning of class too.

It feels like a family.
