College of Charleston is a great school. The peninsula is an awesome place to have your college career. But there are things that the students here are not so fond of.
1) You probably spent Labor Day laboring. While your friends at USC and Clemson enjoyed a nice little vacation you were daydreaming about the beach during class.
2) Living in Charleston is so expensive, whether you're living on or off campus, you are sure to be paying an arm and a leg to live on the peninsula.
3) There are so many good restaurants to try...but not on a college budget. You might be able to splurge on a birthday or a special occasion, but don't get your hopes up.
4) Humidity is not a friend to your hair. No matter how much hair spray you use, the humidity is going to make your hair look however it wants to make it look.
5) Speaking of weather, rain. Rain will come out of nowhere, at any random time and yes, the streets will flood.
6) King Street is so close to campus and it is so hard not to spend all of your money on the sales at Urban Outfitters.
7) It's really hard to walk in your high heels on the cobblestone streets of Charleston, try to keep your dignity...
8) Parking is either hard to find, or very expensive. Stay away from the parking garages because they will clean out your bank account for sure.
9) Sometimes your tap water tastes like the beach. Make sure you invest in a water filter if you want to keep hydrated (you do.)
Despite all of these points, College of Charleston really is such a great place to go to school. The pros definitely outweigh the cons.
