Porch on 70 Coming Street
I’ve only been away from campus a few weeks but I already miss my porch. It was the crowning glory of my historic house, which is, I’m convinced, the best place to live on campus. Half of my college experience was spent in that house and countless hours on that porch. Most people didn’t realize

Campus Icon: Rick Krantz
His great-great-uncle was chief of the Charleston Fire Department. His grandfather served 37 years there, too. Dad was a firefighter before becoming a cop, and Chief Rick Krantz has spent 34 years of his own life in the fire service, including 26 at the College. “It’s a bloodline that is thick and deep,” says Krantz.
