It was amazing! First off, the campus is beautiful. The view of the bay is picturesque, and I loved reading down by the mangroves. Second, I had so many wonderful professors who guided me throughout my time there. The independent nature of the curriculum that’s composed of negotiation and collaboration with professors provided invaluable experience for interfacing with supervisors in the future. In addition, many of these professors left a lasting impression on me personally. Third, it was a tough transition since I graduated with an Associate’s from SCF, but I did it! The curricula at this institution was more advanced than anything I had done previously, but it was very rewarding. Fourth, the CEO and my career coach were extremely helpful and dedicated in helping me find work after I graduated. Fifth, I was able to graduate with no debt (with help from my family). I honestly never thought I’d be able to afford a 4-year degree, but we did! I love and recommend NCF!
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!
