Marshall,
For me, a huge factor in going with a different college was that Charter Oak doesn't offer specific majors. Instead, it only offers four different degrees: BA, BS, AA, AS, all of which are degrees in "General Studies".
For example, instead of a "BA in Psychology", you would earn a "BA in General Studies (with a concentration in Psychology)". Technically, you would not be able to say you had a "Degree in Psychology" (or whatever subject you have studied). Your degree would always be a "Bachelor's Degree in General Studies" (or an Associate's degree).
This is an important distinction for many people, and could be one reason why more people don't choose COSC.
Just my thoughts,
