I have applied here twice. They do take 6 to 8 weeks to let you know if you have been accepted or not. It is an honors college and it is very small. They just became a public school not to long ago. They have sunset graduations, and students get tickets to go to the Ringling Musem. They have a free garden for the students to use. I love the campus, it is small but that is great. The student to teacher ratio is 10:1! I personally love that! You get to know your teacher andother students. I am still waiting to see if I get in this year; I am so excited!
Oh, New College. So much potential yet so problematic. Pros: academic freedom + ISP opportunities, engaging classes, kind and approachable professors, gorgeous bayfront, affordable. Cons: lack of racial diversity (isolating as a POC), lack of food options (RIP 4Winds), boring campus with ugly buildings besides CHL, inconvenient location (only airport & Shell nearby), overrated party scene, terrible student life in general. Tip: Bring a car and explore downtown Sarasota, or even St.Pete/Tampa. I would've lost my mind if I hadn't brought mine. If you want to attend a hippie haven that doesn't prepare you for the real world, come to New College. NCF really isn't for everyone... some bloom, some suffocate. I can't endure another year here.
There is no other school that I would have learned as much in every way. The professors are amazing, classes are small, rigorous and engaging. This is a school for brilliant passionate sometimes quirky, always engaged students. It’s not for everyone. You need to be self motivated and willing to put in the time. The community is accepting, liberal and passionate about every aspect of social justice. I have met some of the most amazing peers here, and so much less hypocrisy and privilege than my friends at other schools complain about. I turned down Penn, Amherst etc to come here and comparing my education and life to my former classmates I have zero regrets. I expect to be competitive for an elite fellowship overseas followed by attending a top tier law school. More than that, I have grown immeasurably as a person.
