    Spent one semester here (Spring 2015) and I enjoyed my first and last semester here. I'm a transfer…read morestudent from College of Lake County and the process of transferring was easy, thanks to Bill Weir. It was unfortunate that the maximum transfer credit was 68. My credits per class in CLC was 3 but if it was converted to Carthage, it was 4. My professors were AMAZING. I love how the classes have a small professor to student ratio which was small. You get to know them in a personal level and it's great networking. I personally love places where I know people by their name because it's more personal. You're not another number. If you're an incoming freshman or transfer student, you're required to do Western Heritage. I highly suggest taking Marla Polley as your professor because she makes it engaging. She's also a lovely professor who cares for her students. As soon as you step in her classroom she gives off a positive vibe. If you're a communication major, which I was when I switched from criminal justice, you should definitely take Colleen Kappeler. I learned a TON from her and I can guarantee you that you'll enjoy her classes as much as I did when I had her. The administration is all right. During my semester here we were required to do a survey of the Title IX which was an online training and educational program for sexual misconduct. If you don't do it they threaten you with a fine. Security here was also something to be aware of. They're either satisfactory or not. Make sure to park at the right places. I know that being a new student, it was hard for me to remember where I could or could not park. The campus was nice. I love how there's a Starbucks in this campus. It's very convenient if you have an 8am class (which I DO NOT SUGGEST). They have also built a new science building and it's pulchritudinous. The view of the lake was something unique and won't find in most college campuses. The library was well-maintained and you could wirelessly print if you have your own laptop. This campus also has a chapel so if you're religious, they have inter-faith sessions. Carthage has a career center where they could assist you with your resume, cover letter, and interviews. You also get e-mails for job opportunities which was very helpful. Not only do they have a great career center, they also have an outstanding advising staff from my experience. I was assigned to Ryan Polk and he was very helpful in my first semester. He helped me with transitioning and was very interested in his students. If you decide to dorm, be aware that there may be weekly fire alarms according to other students who lived there. A smart move is to get a couple of roommates and your own place around the Kenosha area. Fortunately, Kenosha is affordable. The student union offers a variety of restaurants. I was a commuter (didn't live on campus) so I never got old of eating there. Student life was lively. If you live on campus, you should check out the fraternities/sororities. I know it's not for everyone, but it's something to do because you're in Kenosha! It's better than just staying in your dorm. I had a pleasure of being an associate member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity but had to withdraw due to the fact that I had my own business going on and that I wasn't able to commit fully due to my schedule but I firmly believe in their foundations. I wish they offered more scholarships and more support towards minorities and transfer students. This was definitely a white-dominated campus. Also, tuition is currently rising and it's projected to rise every year so make sure that you're financially ready to commit to that and try not to take out as much student loans. It's a shame I had to leave because I was given an opportunity in Silicon Valley and I'm planning to pursue my education in either Stanford or Berkeley.

    What could improve? Quite literally everything. My son Trevor is a freshman at the college, on our…read morenightly call all I hear is complaining, no positivity. I am appalled that they do not clean the bathrooms, provide suitable living arrangements for students and the worst of all serve food that has made my son sick more times than I count. With the price of tuition and housing you really think they would do better. Don't even get me started on President John Swallows involvement on campus, because there's nothing I could say. Tuition prices are rising while student satisfaction is declining. Sorry excuse for a college. Hope this helps anyone's college search!
