The University of Charleston is small private college located on the Kanawha River in Charleston, WV. The professors genuinely care about each individual student's grades, progress, and success in his or her respective field. This institution is truly one of a kind with its top notch education, student organizations and beautiful campus.

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.

The academic system here at The University of Charleston is challenging yet attainable. One has to apply oneself to his or her studies to succeed. There are many available tools on campus and online for students to enhance their learning experience.

There are five recently updated residence halls on campus. Students have the option to pick their own roommates or to live alone. Activities for residences are always going on.

Students have the option of dining in three locations which are all located in the Geary Student Union. There is the Coffee Tavern, which proudly brews Starbucks Coffee, Mo Harv's Food Court, which offers the options of the grill, subs and wraps and foreign delicacies, and the all you can eat Cafeteria, which offers several different options everyday. Students can pick their own meal plan.

There is plenty to do on and off campus. Activities are constantly being held on campus by many different organizations, whether it be day or night. If one is looking to go off campus, the Charleston area has many places to shop, dine, and have fun!

The University of Charleston has decided to lower tuition to the amount of $19,500 for incoming students in the Fall of 2012. Considering that this is a private institution, that is a good deal. Though the tuition is higher than many state schools, one definitely gets what they pay for. The facilities are fantastic, the dorms are outstanding, and the staff is unparalleled.

This college is great for students who would like to go to a small campus but have a top notch experience.

The University of Charleston offer countless organizations for students. There is a club for everyone.

This campus is extremely safe. Campus Security is always around when needed and if a student ever feels unsafe, Security is prepared to help them in any situation.

UC is a pretty expensive school, but they also help students with everything. When I was going to school there they handled almost all of my financial aid and course scheduling. All I really had to do was show up, learn and get awesome grades. I have also been a student at a public university, where I had to stay on top of everything. If I didn't constantly harass the financial aid, student services and registration offices, then nothing would get done. So, although UC was a lot more expensive, it was definitely worth it to have people who work at the university actually helping students like they are supposed to.

serious, hardworking, determined

University of Charleston is a 4 out of 5 stars. The faculty and staff, as well as the campus is so friendly and welcoming. Also the location is in the capitol of the state, so there's a lot of history behind it; only downfall for me was it's far from home.

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.
