What Students Are Saying

One tip I have would be to prepare oneself academically. I recommend taking as many Honors or AP courses as one can handle. Another tip I would offer is to make sure one's intended major and or second choice is offered at The University of Charleston. Lastly consider one's financial situation and assess what needs to be done to afford the chosen school.

ElizabethR from Charleston, WV

Tips for students wanting to attend University of Charleston is to take a tour of the campus, meet with the department chair of your degree/major, and ask questions about the school from current students. You want to have a full understanding and feel comfortable fully knowing what you're going to be investing your time and education in. Go with your gut feeling! If it feels like the right fit for you then you should apply, if not then keep looking till you find the perfect school for yourself.
