    Junior: The University of Central Florida is one giant campus filled with students and faculty from all around the world. I transferred to UCF from my home in southern California. After my first semester at UCF i've fallen in love with my choice on schools. UCF is giving me the opportunity to follow my dreams by having my Human Health Science major available with helpful Academic advisors who are helping me reach my next goal in life of going to grad school and eventually preparing me for my ultimate goal of becoming a physician assistant. UCF also has a wide range of student activities like clubs, sports, and fun exercise classes that me and my friends have found helpful for making connections, releasing stress and for finding more ways to learn outside the classroom. Overall coming to UCF has been one of the best choices of my life and it gives me pride to believe in the slogan: " U Can Finish"!

    Senior: Rollins is a small liberal arts school known for their excellent academics and athletics. As a student-athlete and rising senior, I can say that athletics has been a huge part of my Rollins experience. However, there are so many other ways students can get involved on campus whether its through Greek life or other clubs and organizations – there is something for everyone! The community at a school like Rollins was definitely something I was looking for. Lastly, when deciding between schools, Rollins’ campus was one of the biggest draws. I could not imagine a better place to spend my college years anywhere other than Winter Park!

  5. Full Sail University

    • 4 Year
    • Winter Park, FL
    • 2,734

    Niche User: I greatly enjoyed my time at Full Sail and feel like you will really get the education you paid for. I did the online Graphic Design BS program. I see a lot of negative reviews for Full Sail on this site. But, from my perspective, it was a great ride and well worth the money. I will say you have to be self-motivated and serious about your education if you are attempting any online program. Every month is a different class and the classes are taught by people who are or were in the Graphic Design field. That greatly helps because you know they know their stuff. I graduated Valedictorian and won Advanced Achievement as well as 5 Course Director Awards. I put in the hard work and Full Sail gave me every opportunity to (for a lack of a better term) sail. I ended up getting a job as Marketing Coordinator & Graphic Designer because of my education at Full Sail. If you are self-motivated I would recommend the Full Sail online programs 100%!

  6. Herzing University - Orlando

    • 4 Year
    • Winter Park, FL
    • 167

    Sophomore: It is a Fast pace learning environment so you finish fast! They prepare you well for the NCLEX and the school has very high passing rates. The teachers are very knowledgeable and offer different modes of learning and have hands on approaches that help students learn more efficiently. The teachers offer help outside of class as well as there are a lot of academic resources available through the library and simulation lab. They also have a writing lab to help you with APA format and you can either set up an appointment to see someone or even turn your paper in online for help. The school really wants you to succeed and offer tons of support. Glad I chose herzing because I feel they have prepared me well for when I graduate and get out into the real world.

  7. Florida Christian College

    • 4 Year
    • Kissimmee, FL
    • 19

    Senior: I really loved the community of people at Johnson University Florida. Everyone is looking to grow you and your faith, and try to encourage you to succeed and serve Christ. The professors are experts in their fields and not only do they want to teach you in the classroom, but they want to help you and get to know you outside of classes. I'm having one of them be the officiant at my wedding, and am inviting the most of the others! Overall, I'm sad that I have to graduate and leave, but they've definitely prepared me well.
