Student Life
Clearwater Christian College is composed of roughly 80% residence hall students and 20% commuters, and there are a variety of student activities and organizations for all students to participate in. There are Greek letter organizations, student government, intramural sports, fine arts groups, yearbook, political club, a student newspaper, and other opportunities.
The CCC intercollegiate athletics teams, known as the Cougars, have been very successful in the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) Division II. The women's volleyball team has won nine national titles, including a six-peat during 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011. Their men's soccer team has also won back to back national titles in 2009 and 2010.
Clearwater is a conservative college and maintains student guidelines that include a modest dress code, regulation of facial hair, limited physical contact between the sexes, and daily chapel attendance. Student rooms are inspected for cleanliness, and a "white glove" inspection is performed once a semester. The college uses a combination of infraction points, fines, and other procedures to discipline students when rules are broken. However, it is generally regarded as a much more relaxed environment than other fundamentalist Christian colleges or universities such as Pensacola Christian College and Bob Jones University.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“To make life more bearable and pleasant for everybody, choose the issues that are significant enough to fight over, and ignore or use distraction for those you can let slide that day. Picking your battles will eliminate a number of conflicts, and yet will still leave you feeling in control.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
