Enrolled to become a student in Fall 2023. So far the experience has been terrific. Have visited campus twice
Great value for money. Students get personalized attention in and out of the classroom. Great location and food.
Starting in 2020 was rough with Covid. Food was also terrible. Lots of kids sick from the food. Much better now with the new food company.
Carthage is a beautiful school. The professors and advisors take their time to get to know each student. While it is a very pricy school, Carthage will try to help you with the cost.
So far I enjoy Carthage. The classes are fun, the professors are great. There are so many resources available to help students and they are relatively easy to access. I have had some issues with scheduling and my four-year plan due to some miscommunications from the college. I have addressed them, and everyone was very understanding and willing to help. It is a beautiful campus and they dorms aren't awful at all. It is very important to pick a college that is right for you. Carthage is small and I like that but it's not for everyone.
I really like the environment but sometimes working with financial aid is complicated. They don't always answer your emails or calls and all around working with administration poses its difficulties.
I am a junior at Carthage College and have had a great academic experience so far! The smaller class sizes are great for learning and you get to build great connections with the staff and students at Carthage. The view of Lake Michigan is always a plus! There are so many places to study!
I was a transfer student from Suomi College, now named Finlandia University, Hancock, MI My favorite professors were Dr. Merle Boyer and Dr. Harold Krueger in the Philosophy and Religion Departments.
I love the small, personal class sizes at Carthage College. I feel like I am able to develop better relationships with my professors and classmates this way. It also makes it easier to reach out for help. I also enjoy all the opportunities for help they offer, like the tutoring center and having tutors for certain classes they already expect to be harder level classes.
What I liked about Carthage was how the professors cared about their students. I've been at Carthage for about two years and so far all the professors I've had are very understanding and have shown that they care about their students. One thing that I wish that can change is class schedules. It makes it a bit harder to work part-time because of my availability.
Carthage College has strong academic value; however, lacked in campus food. They have a new dining plan this school year so hopefully it is better.
Great college. So far my experience has been positive. Great welcoming community, the college is right off the lake so the campus is stunning at times. Classes are small and personal no more than 21 students/class, very affordable and to help even more they tend to give out good financial aid packages. With that being said I didn't give 5 stars for 3 reasons. The first being that the lake becomes a huge negative during the fall and winter seasons, very cold and very windy. The second reason is because they offer great programs for most degrees except STEM. When it comes to STEM the selection becomes a bit limited. I'm not sure exactly what they offer you'd have to check that for yourself but I know that I wasn't able to study the exact engineering major I wanted because Carthage only offered engineering science which had just barely started the year I applied. My final reason is that I haven't been there long enough to have gotten the full experience so my opinion may change.
The most memorable things about my time at Carthage are the view and the staff. The campus is right on the lake so the view from almost every building on campus is stunning. The older academic buildings are in good condition and the science buildings are brand new. The dorms are alright at best (at least for what you're paying to live in them). The professors are absolutely fantastic. Even the professors I didn't like were still very passionate about their jobs and cared about their students. I am disappointed that they have been calling back their art, music, and philosophy programs. In place of these programs, they have been buffing up their science departments. Their nursing department is brand new and they are constantly growing their science and math programs. Despite this growth, class sizes remain relatively small, only 20-25 students per class.
Overall, I don't think it was worth the money for what I ended up doing (I'm a baker and I majored in art), but I don't regret it.

I went for an in-person tour and loved the campus so much. It was so welcoming and so friendly and I have a couple of old high school friends that attend there now. I am very excited to start my college career there in the fall and I want to be involved in the school as much as I can.
I am going to be an incoming freshman and so far all of my experiences have been very good. I am look forward to going here!
Getting involved with sports here at Carthage was one of the best ways to unwind, spend time with friends, and getting a chance to see school spirit being displayed at sporting events. Getting to know professors one on one helped a-lot. Simply taking advantage of the staff to student ratio greatly improved my learning experience. summer programs are also a plus getting the chance to study abroad and even competing in sports in another country can be a great experience. What I wish can change is possibly a commuter committee which will give the chance to have commuters to connect.
I love how it’s a small student size campus. Gives me enough time for Professors to get to know me. Love the clubs and activities the campus offers. Overall, best decision coming here!
I went to Carthage 2018-2022, the professors for the most part are very accommodating and will even provide you with more about subjects outside the curriculum after class if you want. The two knocks I have about Carthage are they are very understaffed in the registrars office so it does take a long time to hear back about questions you may have and the employment outcomes are hindered because they allow “lower end” companies to speak to their class. The best thing I have to say is if you are looking for a masters degree, Carthage will help you find a very good school to attend for your masters. I am going to USC Marshall School of Business for my masters thanks to Carthage’s support.
Carthage had a beautiful campus and some excellent professors. As well, you can always find activities going on around campus. However, they like to charge you for every little thing and prices are just increasing.
I love the small school feel so carthage definitely fits that need for me. The only negative is the dorm life. The dorms are very old and quite uncomfortable to live in. They need to be renovated.
