Awful. Security officers violate campus policy with room searches and they pull girls out of bed half in a state of undress to check on their welfare. It is traumatizing. Our student transferred to a large school of 60,000 in an urban setting and it feels more secure and safe than Rollins. The biggest threat to college students is campus security themselves. Anything is on the table for them as a means to fit their purpose. Title IX is a huge issue but it is the staff you have to watch out for. They will hand chopsticks to all Asian students in the dining hall and students of color had their dorm doors pounded on and someone would run through and yell, we hate the N word. Micro aggression and overt discrimination are huge issues for students of color and women. The state university would not accept transfer of credits towards major-even with an appeal the determination was too low of rigor.
I was extremely worried about making the wrong decision when committing to a university, but truly feel I could not have made a better choice than Rollins! The small class sizes allow for strong connections with professors that you cannot find anywhere else, and students are equipped with numerous opportunities outside the classroom; the school staff and educators truly want you to succeed. Plus, the campus is absolutely breathtaking with impressive on-campus housing options. I would highly recommend!
A beautiful campus on a picturesque lake with Mediterranean style architecture. A great place to get educated! If you like swimming or just being outdoors, you can’t beat the weather of Central Florida. You’ll be glad you came and you’ll be envied.
Rollins College is a very good school, the class sizes are definitely the best part about it because we get personal time with the professors instead of in a large lecture hall where they do not even know our name. The campus is beautiful and the people are extremely nice, theres no way to not make friends.

Cocaine and preppy kids
The school is changing and there are growing pains. There is a sudden crackdown on drinking and it puts a lot of stress and pressure on students. The number of alcohol violations have tripled, yet the system for dealing with those violations has stayed the same so obviously it is bogged down adn pretty ineffective. There really is not a good way to blow off steam. The top administration jumps to decisions without really consulting the student body and it puts the students in bad situations.
Rollins cares and provides a diverse, welcoming atmosphere for students of all genders, religious affliations, sexual orientations, and ethnicities.
They are absolutely incredible.
It's commitment to community engagement. Allowed me to apply classroom theory to practical needs in the community.
sororities are big. most people are from florida.
Whats unique about Rollins College is that it is a private school that has a lot of field study research opportunities. I really like the fact that Rollins is a smaller school with only 17 students on average in a class. The teachers at Rollins College are all very qualified and always have time for questions. Rollins compared to other Universitys is a lot more personal and hands on, I know my place at Rollins.
I think anybody should attend this school, it's a great place to learn in the central Florida area -- I just think since tuition is so high you are forced to be from an upper middle class rich family.
Small classes, so professors know you by first name. People reaction to me saying I went to Rollins has been both positive and negative. Positive reactions is that the school is highly regarded as the "Ivy League of the Southeast"....ranked by numerous sources as a top private school. Negative reactions were that I must be a rich spoiled kid and feel entitled to everything. I will admit that campus feels like a country club and is in an upscale area of Orlando, Winterpark, in a suburban setting.
I tell friends about the small class sizes and how well I was prepared academically for graduate school. The small class sizes and labs for each class really helped me learn and gave me the opportunity to strengthen research and analytical skills in my field. Also, I was exposed to people from all over the country and helped me gain new perspectives and opportunities.
The kind of person who wants to slide through college with putting in little hard work. Rollins prides itself on academic excellence and therefore students should come to this school ready to become the global citizens and responsible leaders that out mission statement describes.
The most frustrating thing about my school is how much it costs.
There is a stereotype of being the "rich kids" partying school which is not true. the student body is very diverse and is comprised of students from all over the world. Students can believe this is true if they want it to be.
Honestly, the academics here are not easy. Sure, you'll find some classes that are a breeze, but not without doing some work. I never have understood why or how people slack off here because it is a tough school! Luckily, students can receive a lot of assistance with classes if they reach for it. There is a free student tutoring center called TJ's that is extremely helpful with tutors who have taken the classes before you and can help you edit your papers and such. Also, the professors are extremely responsive if you need help. Most are very prompt in responding emails and will offer any help for you to succeed. Luckily in situations like this, the class sizes average at 17 so the professor will know your name and be able to pinpoint what you need to work on. I have never had any problems with asking a professor for help! The education I'm getting here I actually feel will be so beneficial for me in the long run. Since we are a liberal arts college, 1/3 of your classes will be general education requirements, 1/3 electives, and 1/3 going toward your major. Rollins wants their students and graduates to be more knowledgeable in all topics, hence why general education classes are a requirement. Not only will it help expand your knowledge, but it will help you narrow down your choices for a major you think you would like!

There are over 100 different clubs and organizations on campus that students can easily join. If there isn't a club that students are interested in, they can start one! It's very simple - they only need 4 other students and a faculty member to support them and they can do it. Rollins makes it simple! Greek life makes up a large part of the campus organizations, even though it's only 35% of the campus. Joining a club or taking part in campus events will definitely help spike your involvement and interest in college life and help you to become better acquainted with going to college. Also, if you didn't want to go to a bar or anything of that sort on a week night or whenever really, there is ALWAYS something going on around campus. For example, the first week of March, an organization I'm in is sponsoring DayGlow on campus which students love to come to! Simple and fun events like those help bring the campus together.
