Graduated in 2018. Always heard "New College is going to the dogs! It's not WEIRD anymore!" Brushed it off as just nostalgic hipster elitism, but it turned out to be true.
2014 New College was akin to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory: drug addled savants in STEM fields mingled with writers, artists, and historians. Punk wall, wisest wizard wall, underwear wall, kiss your crush wall, fetish bowl, Rocky Horror, Great Gatsby, Easter Keg Hunt, Disorientation. I know I'm romanticizing.
For all our racial equality rhetoric NCF was as diverse as Sweden. Unwoke students (usually CIS white males) were one gaffe away from being ostracized. And after the drug deaths everything changed. Students retreated to their rooms. Parties were policed. Streakers kept their clothes on. Four Winds closed down. The pressure to sanitize the school won out. Enrollment plummeted despite shiny new buildings.
For a brief time, though, the 70's lived on. Ask a jaded 4th year.

This school has a ridiculous habit of escalating situations dramatically and rapidly. Students form cult like clicks, and if you anger anyone of their members its over for you. The school only supports this by forcing therapy and mandated group mediation down your throat. Within 2 years here I have been constantly outlasted and aggressively attacked for pointing out when I myself have been treated unfairly. Academics are great, but student life is an unbearable cycle of beating attacked and fighting just to be left alone for a few days.
The drug culture is dangerous, but hey what else do you have to do on campus!

New College of Florida is a college that places emphasis on tolerance and acceptance, focusing on the individual student and promoting learning through the use of evaluations in place of non-letter grades. The campus culture is "okay", a good number of students definitely have biases and leanings towards one side and refuse to make compromises on their opinions at times. Expect to be shut down or even insulted on college forums if your views don't align with the views of the majority on campus. Besides the somewhat sour culture, the professors have all been fantastic and very helpful. The class sizes are especially small which allow for more personal interactions with the professors. The campus itself is a little dated in some areas and very small, but that is expected because the price of the school is quite low and provides great value in return. Cafeteria food for campus-goers is decent as well. Overall the college has its ups and downs, but I think it's a great value.
