Florida Southern College

Florida Southern College is absolutely gorgeous. The campus is clean and the facilities are in the best shape. Everyone around campus was super nice and welcoming. For me I think Florida Southern College is the perfect place for me. The class sizes are perfect for hands on engaged learning.

I absolutely love Florida Southern and am very happy with my decision. I wouldn't change a thing. The campus is absolutely beautiful and the students and staff are both amazing. There are endless opportunities for so many different types of people. The only thing I wish we had was a football team, but we go hard in all other sports.

Florida Southern is a great school. However, I wouldn't recommend going if you don't have a solid way to fund the education. 97% of students receive financial aid, however everything increases a ridiculous amount in price every year. By the end of your four years, you will end up paying more each year you attend. Other than that and the fact that Greek life is a little too big on campus, I would say it's a pretty great college. Perfect for those wanting a small college scene.

Florida Southern College is a great school with a great environment. Class sizes are small which means the professor is able to focus on the students individually often. The food is decent, however there are a lot of restaurants surrounding the campus. There is no off campus housing. The campus is extremely safe as well. Overall I think it is a very nice school.

It has such a warm welcoming environment that I think everyone can benefit from. The classes are no bigger than 20 people for all courses which creates a stimulating learning environment for students. This also allows teachers to form interpersonal relationships with all of their students and allows exceptional growth.

Great place to live, great place to learn.

Florida Southern College has a very welcoming environment and strikes to inspire students to get involved and succeed academically. There are plenty of academic services on campus that are useful to students and the staff is very helpful. It is truly a kind campus. Students are often very involved with the community and show great school spirit.

I knew from the minute I stepped on campus for my tour that this was the college form me. I instantly felt at home on the campus and that feeling just grew as the campus tour went on. By the end of the tour I knew that I had found the college for me. The campus is gorgeous, the housing is like home and the faculty and students are all so welcoming. At no time did I ever feel like I was just a number. I felt like I was being accepted into a new large family.

A good school. Some issues with on campus housing, but there are plans to fix them. Off campus housing is expanding which is awesome! New food option like a steak and shake/Publix deli are coming to campus. Better food options is great for students! Class sizes are awesome and you get plenty of one on one time with professors to ask for assistance.

Florida Southern takes pride in the fact that Frank Lloyd Wright built most of the campus, which is great, except those facilities need to be updated on the inside. The newer buildings are really nice, but only Business and English majors get to enjoy the luxuries of a constant working air conditioners and a complete lack of ants. The freshman dorms were alright, I may have had five raccoons in my ceiling and a bout of fleas, but I really liked how quiet the basement was and that my roommates were awesome. Florida Southern is actually amazing at pairing roommates and they are really flexible about letting people switch if you don't get along . The quality that really is redeeming about Florida Southern is the learning environment, I have not had a single bad professor since I got here, which is more than I can say for my friends at other universities. Everyone here is pretty serious about learning and professors are more than happy to help. If anything you can count on getting a great education. All in all, I think that Florida Southern needs to update their facilities so all the students can enjoy nice classrooms, provide more food options on campus, and create more parking before they can even dream about raising my tuition. That being said, they really do have a great learning environment here, the class sizes are small, professors actually take time to know their students, and provide them with many opportunities. It's easy to get involved on campus, and everyone here is pretty nice, which creates some good juju. Not a bad place to go get a higher education.
