Good Liberal Arts Colleges for C Students?

I'm concerned that my grades aren't the best, as they're mostly Cs. Are there liberal arts colleges that have a supportive environment for students like me and that can help us thrive academically?

I'm sure there are many colleges out there that would be a great fit for you! I'd look at liberal arts colleges that celebrate diversity in their student body — not just in terms of background, but also in terms of different types of learners.

Here are some that you might want to consider:

1. St. John's College (in Annapolis, Maryland, and Santa Fe, New Mexico): This unique college focuses on a "great books" curriculum and does not look only at grades but the kind of student you are and your intellectual curiosity.

2. Eckerd College (in St. Petersburg, Florida): Eckerd embraces a holistic, student-focused approach to education, and it's well-regarded for its marine and environmental science programs.

3. Cornell College (in Mount Vernon, Iowa): Not to be confused with Cornell University in New York, this college is known for its "One Course At A Time" curriculum that lets students focus intensively on one subject for 3.5 weeks. It's great for students who feel overwhelmed by juggling multiple classes and deadlines all at once.

4. Alma College (in Alma, Michigan): Alma takes pride in its personalized education and small class sizes. The school emphasizes experiential learning and offers a wide range of majors.

Remember, finding the right college is about more than just GPA. Being honest about your grades and seeking schools that focus on student potential, personal growth, and holistic education will help you find a supportive environment where you can thrive academically. Good luck!
