Coastal Carolina University Review

When i first began at Coastal Carolina University, I thought it was rather big, but I came from a rather tiny high school (with less than 400 total in attendance).  But after a couple of years at Coastal, I began to notice some changes.  The school was growing, and at a pretty alarming rate!  I realized how small the university was when I actually started!  Parking spaces became scarce.  Classes filled up more quickly, and were much larger than they were when I first began.  I chose the school because my parents already had a vacation home in nearby Myrtle Beach.  Lots of other students chose it because of the fact that it was at the beach.  They considered it a party school!  I will admit that I knew of many kids with only partying on their brains.  I tried to see things from more of an academic prospective.  It grew as a result of both.  Myrtle Beach was growing, and the school was growing right along with it.  Programs were also becoming nationally accreditted, including the health promotion program I belonged to!  That made me realize that even though tons of people go there to party, the education scene was also becoming a really good thing, and I'm proud to have attended there!
