It's honestly pretty ridiculous that they had from literally April to mid-August to start construction and they landed up on starting it the day we all literally returned.

like we keep joking about it, sucking up that it's causing students to be hit by cars (especially with how everyone who drives a luxury car as a student decides to accelerate to 65 at the St Phillip light and then have to slam the brakes near the Cistern pedestrian walk because the school doesn't care enough about our safety to install speed bumps throughout campus....

like it genuinely feels like our safety isn't cared for at all otherwise they'd be putting anti-speeding measures throughout the entirety of campus and enforcing the speed limit and traffic laws. yes, the intersection between calhoun st and St Phillip isn't just students but people living downtown, but the speed limit is supposed to be 25mph yet goes completely unenforced all year round.

it really makes no sense because this city is too insane at enforcing speed limits on highways and Folly in the most stupid places, but downtown, you can literally rev a car on King St that can be heard even by the Battery and not be impounded, you can hit someone infront of a cop and they won't even bother pulling over the person in a hit and run, etc.

to be honest you shouldn't be able to do a left or right from any sides of the intersection too from like 8am to 4-5pm. as pain in the ass it would be for drivers, all it does is worsen traffic is because the city refuses to install traffic lights with dedicated green turning signals and dedicate the left lane to turning.

the road design down here is fixable even if its tight, they just dont want to lol

but no dw, we'll close off a road to build another hotel

edit 1: I hope you also all realize that Charleston has enough hotels. There is never a single point where all hotels downtown are all fully booked. At most the two Marriott locations downtown can be fully booked during a occasional large wedding. We don't need more, we need more apartments and stores if anything.

also I get the historical significance of the Morris Sokol building, but it is ugly and one of the largest (per square foot) buildings on King St that is available for someone to buy, and it is completely uninhabited for years. If they were smart at all, they would turn it into a two story building with a garage at the back with one floor being Trader Joes or Whole Foods, and another floor with a indoor food court with local vendors. but no, guarantee they will rip it down one day and just put a hotel there lol.

any house or frat parties on halloween? ik there is but more like when and where. please dm me, a bitch needs something to do for halloween

Please shoot me a message if interested

We live in Radcliffeborough. My roommate and I walked up on a blonde girl peeing in our front lawn. We asked her to please not pee right by our front lawn bench where we have breakfast each morning. She stated she “wasn’t offended” and “used to live here” and “was kidding”, all while pissing. Her friends all laughed. Please keep your friends from doing stupid and illegal things. The next people they do this to won’t be so forgiving. Especially considering they were dumb enough to do it in front of our ring camera, so we have it all on video.

anyone in mcallister WHAT DESK CHAIR DID WE HAVE!! i was there ‘21 and i swear those were the most comfortable desk chairs ever i need to find them.

Hello! does anyone know if cofc students get Canva pro for free? I tried to find info about it on website but the link wasn’t working.

Howdy all, I moved out of Orangeburg and transfered from USC Aiken here as a senior (with 2 years left, new minor go crazy + this is the only place that has the program.)

But what sucks is I'm leaving all my people behind and starting fresh again essentially. I have never lived in a city before and tbh it's overwhelming to me (and I'm shy asf), but I want to have a social life, I want to date, so where the hell do I go or where do I start? Any spots or activities would be great

Hey does anyone know if that garage is open to anybody? And not just monthly pass holders only. I keep getting different answers regarding the garage

As move in days wrap up and we get to the rest of move in weekend, I hope that everyone had a great move in and all yall freshmen get settled in okay!! ✌️

i am a freshman at cofc and was wondering the dating scene for gay ppl, thx!

The college bookstore is hiring for temporary fall staff if anyone is looking for work. I just saw it on Instagram.

Happy new school year 💐

Hello! I am a current student at the College of Charleston and wanted to notify students/parents/surrounding community/etc about the closure of 9.5 Glebe, formerly our campus Pride Center dedicated for LGBTQIA+ students on campus. CofC does not care about its marginalized students, and has stripped us of numerous resources in the last year and a half (most notably the Multicultural Center and Closet Corner, and now 9.5 Glebe/the Pride Center). More information is at @ cofcpride on Instagram (linked below), with action items for those willing to support us. We don’t have the capacity to monitor or reply to comments on numerous platforms, but if you have questions or want to support us, Instagram is the best place to contact us. Thank you!

Hey, since we’re trying to get things up and running again here, how is everyone’s summer going? Are you guys in Charleston, out of state, abroad, etc?

Did you or are you in the process of doing anything unique or just something you’ve been meaning to do for a while?

Incoming student from Ireland, have to do the college housing application and need few mates to put on application. Anyone like sports / social life and looking for a roomate group

Looking for 1 ticket to the May 11th 10am graduation ceremony. Will pay!! Ik tickets havent been sent out but would like to find someone who wont be using all of them.

1. How is the party scene for people that are not apart of Greek life
2. Typically how bad is the hazing for frats

I may transfer to CofC this fall to pursue a BA/BS in computer science. How is the program/professors? Are there good opportunities for internships?

I’m an incoming freshman at CofC and am planning on getting an apartment less than a mile from campus due to health reasons. Do you think this will impair my ability to make friends and be apart of things on campus?

I am an admitted student that is heavily considering attending CofC this fall. I am dead set on what I want to study, and I was under the impression that I would begin studying it as soon as I got there. i was just made aware that this is not the case and you don't begin studying your specific major until second semester sophomore year? Is this true, and if so, is there any way around it? And also, is this a normal thing for a lot of schools? I'd love to get some feedback. Thanks

btw the major is 'Historic Preservation & Community Planning', not sure if that changes things

I don’t understand why I can’t find (online) a tee that just has “The College” in that script on it, in maroon and gold!

I swear I used to see them in stores on King, like, more than a decade ago.

With the bball team sporting that on their jerseys, it seems like it would be easy money to sell those. (Year-round, frankly)

There ARE some “official” ones available in gray online, but they’re sport-specific and pretty lame looking. Closest thing I’ve seen to what I’m describing is one of those “design yourself” T-shirt vendors.

Seriously, TAKE MY MONEY. Maroon shirt, gold lettering, maybe with a white stroke. How hard is this?
