“Walking to class and passing historic houses and waterfront parks, how easy it is to get into research and internships in the city, that the campus can feel more like a neighborhood than a traditional quad and the party scene under 21 can be thin, yet the small‑class feel and Charleston‑city energy still make it feel like you’re in a place built to help you grow into the community around you.”
