Charleston Southern University Reviews
Rating 3.61 out of 5 861 reviews
The school overall is really open, everyone's so happy and friendly! The events they have are always so fun, which also there's is always something going on! The foods are pretty decent, there are so many choices to choose from including Chic-fil-a, Bucstop, Coffee shop, and the dining hall! The scenery is so beautiful, especially the ponds and buildings. The professors are helpful and nice, they have so many helpful resources around campus as well. They have jobs students can do, work-studys, or just helping around! I love the campus and the people within it! Its very safe as they have campus security patrolling at nights! As this is a Christian Campus, they have so many ways to connect, find connection and to worship!
So far, I have loved my experience at CSU. The best part about my experience is the people I have bonded with. This community of people are comprised of the students and staff. They are respectful, kind, reasonable, and goodwilled. I am also grateful for the Professors at the college. I had one that did not see eye-to-eye, but every other professor has been top notch! Somethings to keep in mind would be the temperature and climate; it is very humid and not always enjoyable. Also, this year they had some issues in keeping up in the financial aid department. A final note for those who are interested would be the Christian element. You do not need to be a Christian to go to CSU (I personally am), but you definitely will be exposed to that life while attending.
Overall, I love the college even with some of the issues with fluency in FINAID this year, and I would recommend it to others.

Enrolling into Charleston Southern in 2021 I did not expect to feel like I feel today! Not just because this is a Christian based school, first stepping foot onto the campus I felt welcomed. The professors are genuine which is very rare at most schools. I’ve came across some of the most amazing people at this school including the president, dean of students, and even the ROTC captains. I was not very involved when first enrolling compared to now. My gpa has increased, I work for the dean of the school as his assistant, also I’m apart of a wonderful ROTC program that’s preparing me to serve the worlds greatest Air Force. As a beginner freshman or even a transfer student, Charleston Southern University is highly recommended!
