I can't imagine a better school for me than New College. I went to two other colleges beforehand and neither of them can compare. The self oriented nature of the school is amazing (if you are self motivated, I've seen brilliant minds flounder here because they couldn't handle its mixture of freedom and rigor). The level of undergraduate thesis's produced here is truly impressive, some of the work my peers were doing my final year was absolutely top notch. My friend wrote an english thesis on the On the Temporal Effects of Colonialism in the Epic, another wrote a math thesis titled 'The Stability of Theories from Categoricity to their Spectrum'. Right now I'm working on publishing the results of mine.
The entire experience from start to finish was incredibly fulfilling. I feel like I've come out the other end a whole person.
Also B Dorm is sick. It's where New College's hottest redneck intellectuals congregate to split dip and share ideas.

New College of Florida is the best college for those who are actually interested in learning the material, rather than getting an easy A and moving on. The amount of students in each class is fairly small which allows for great seminar discussions on the readings we're assigned. The professors are also very considerate and appreciate actually interacting with students one-on-one. We have a really helpful Writing Resource Center where students who have taken Pedagogy in Practice are assigned as Student Writing Assistants; this helps students feel a lot more comfortable with sharing their writing because the SWAs are students too. Our Counseling and Wellness Center is so helpful for both physical and emotional concerns- they were actually part of the reason I made it through this year, the other part were the professors. There is also a huge LGBT+ and body positive vibe/culture at NCF that allows both students and professors to really be themselves.
I am so glad I chose to attend NCF. The professors are amazing and the classes are intellectually stimulating. The course load is intense and I know I have had to read more academically and write more essays than my friends who attend UF and FSU (I cannot speak on behalf of all majors of course). But I'm grateful for this and I feel well prepared for graduate school.
I was worried when I first came her that the atmosphere would feel toxic because of other reviews, but in my experience if you are polite and respectful you can have many interesting, stimulating, and eye opening conversations with all members of the student body. Just maybe not on the Forum.
