Carthage has been great over the past 3 years. Excellent faculty and internship opportunities for school of business students. The academics focus on the skills needed to be successful in the workforce. The on campus food options have improved greatly over the past few years. The student housing is over crowded and they need to let juniors move off campus to alleviate the crowding. Some dorms need serious upgrades but the Oaks is nice once you qualify. The campus facilities are nice and hopefully they?ll continue to upgrade and improve facilities when needed. I?ve been able to play a varsity sport which gives a unique college experience. There is also a great place just on the edge of campus where students from two colleges hangout. Overall been great and I hope to report back in a few years with good news on the start of my career.

Carthage College has been great! Just finished my first semester. The campus life, professors, fellow students and teammates have made this a great freshman year. Dorms are crowded due to enrollment being up so hopefully they?ll let more people move off campus next year. Professors and coaches have been great and positive influences. The campus facilities are excellent! It?s close to Milwaukee and Chicago and best of all it?s right on the shores of Lake Michigan!
