As a graduate of this institution, it is great to see the school continously evolve into what it is today. If you want 1 one 1 interactions with your professors, you want to feel like a person rather than a number; Carthage College is the place...
for you. College was a great experience in my life, I made life long friends, and going to Carthage was the best decision I could have made.

Such a beautiful view at the campus! My son, Thomas couldn't wait to be there. Once he started school there, he would send me photos of the beautiful views.

Beautiful campus on the shores of Lake Michigan. It's sandwiched between Chicago and Milwaukee. Traffic is a challenge on the interstates at times delaying travel time to and from campus. Carthage is one of the top liberal arts colleges in ...
the nation. Awesome college to attend!

It's a beautiful campus with mach care for nature. The quality of education has always been held high. The one challenge with the location can be the colder temperatures and the flooding that often occures around the campus. Carthage stays a...

The student body is made up of 95% mute individuals (based on repeated observations of the systemic lack in in-class engagement and participation). Okay maybe they're not actually mute, but seriously, this college has a severe problem with its ...
student body. I cannot in good conscious recommend this college to anyone attending college primarily for an education. A significant portion of learning in college comes from one's interaction with their peers, so it is essential to make sure the student body (in addition to the courses) challenges and inspires you.
The faculty are forced by economic necessity to dumb down their classes so enough students can pass to sustain the college's finances (based on off-the-record conversations with over a dozen faculty members from a number of departments). A number of the classes are complete jokes, total blowoff classes (most likely to increase GPAs). Some, usually the smaller niche ones, are fantastic. If you do go here, befriending the professors is key.
The faculty are friendly, accessible, and highly qualified—even if some don't know how to make decent PowerPoint presentations. Class sizes are rarely above 20 students.
The campus is strikingly beautiful, but the interiors of some older buildings are quite underwhelming. The college doesn't skimp on landscaping.
The campus is also designed to isolate itself from the surrounding community. I see this as a negative, though certain kinds of parents might see this as a positive. The campus's walkability with Kenosha is properly poor. If you plan on frequenting the downtown, a bike or skateboard is a must.
The buildings aren't open 24/7 which is incredibly annoying.
Also it gets seriously cold in the winters. Bring a jacket.
It's a welcoming college for the politically conservative. It's not so good if you want a diverse student body.
I'd give it 40%.
Could try harder.
