    Kind of. The school is pretty good, but being able to say that you graduated fromn COFC is the big ticket item. it isn't so much that the school is so superior as much as it is that you managed you graduate with a degree after spending four years in one of the busiest non-college town cities.

    CofC is definitely a rising school and with the price of tuition not being as high as many others, you're getting a great education and a degree from this school will look amazing on a resume.

    College of Charleston is definitely expensive, especially for out of state, but students get a lot out of their money with the fantastic academics and the good dorms and food.

    The school is a bit pricey, but I would not choose another school over it. It is a fantastic place of learning. Along with being in the heart of a beautiful city, the school offers many opportunities to push yourself into further learning.

    Overall, the College of Charleston is AMAZING! I wouldn't want to change my decision no matter what. There is always something going on whether it is associated with the college or not. It is a really fun school, and if you are worried about partying too much, don't worry, there are always other alternatives.
