Campus Life

Carthage is about more than books and tests. You learn as much outside the classroom as in class. You may become involved in student organizations, attend world-class concerts or hear comedians, work on the campus newspaper, help grow the Carthage Web site, sample all the coffee drinks at Starbucks, play in the orchestra, paint Kissing Rock, build a set for a play, or argue about philosophy until 3 a.m. — the list goes on. What's important is to dive in, make friends and explore all the new ideas you'll share.

Campus Activities

At Carthage, students are not only encouraged to develop themselves intellectually, but also socially, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Opportunities and services are available to Carthage students who wish pursue any one or many interests.

Students can get to know each other, exchange ideas or just socialize in one of the popular gathering places, such as WOH's Place. Whether students choose to live in the residence halls or commute to Carthage, many friendships begin through involvement in campus activities. Popular student activities include live entertainment and films, as well as special events organized by the Carthage Activities Board or one of the many student organizations on campus.

First-year students are given special academic attention by the Advising Center. Assistance in career planning and placement are provided to students by the Career Services center throughout their years at Carthage. Chapel services are held three times each week and highlight the connections between life and faith. Additional opportunities for worship and religious exploration are provided through the Chapel Office and various religious life programs.
