Even though we're going through a pandemic, Florida Tech takes safety seriously, and it is the number one priority in the university. It is the student choice and will to either take their classes on-campus, remotely, or half classes online and half on-campus. I was impacted by this pandemic indirectly, and for prudent and wise reasons, I am currently taking my classes remotely. My online experience with Florida Institute of Technology is excellent, extraordinary, and exceptional. They provide all the necessary resources for their remote students and ensure all their students are learning efficiently.
Furthermore, the university has excellent personnel and staff in which they kindly support their remote students at any time. Florida Tech uses a platform called Canvas, where their students can do their assignments, homework, quizzes, exams, and join their live-class session! With all this, it seems as if you are taking your classes face-to-face.

Many professors struggled to make the switch at first, however, many professors were nothing short of excellent. My professors made sure to have engaging activities and time to talk during each lecture. Professors are very understanding when it comes to connectional issues and Technology related dilemmas. Florida Tech had the option for students without access to rent out computers for the semester. I loved having half of my classes in person and half of them online. Both experiences were amazing and I would recommend a mix to incoming students. Including classes, many clubs and organizations offer virtual options to students who are off campus or students who are uncomfortable with attending in person!
Campus security is constantly patrolling all dorm areas. There has yet to be an instance where I did not feel safe on campus! I can only account for the freshman dorms and housing, however, The freshman housing is extremely nice especially Columbia Village! It's definitely worth the Investment. The Food at the Dining hall is buffet style, and the school has managed to keep it safe with an order style approach. Student Life is ever prominent on campus Ranging from Campus Activities Board to Student Government and there is always something to do on campus. Melbourne itself is very beautiful but definitely more residential. This being said there are still fun places to go around campus even with covid just a few and far between. The Party Scene has died down since covid, the school takes the appropriate precautions to keep students safe. The Athletics are fun to go to despite Florida Tech cutting their football team. The professors are all amazing and Ive yet to have one I disliked.
