Sophomore: The student organizations, resources for students, and variety of courses is incredible. Every day I discover a new opportunity for professional and personal growth and the resources for mental and physical health are phenomenal. The fitness centers on campus have classes, personal training, and top notch equipment. There are so many ways to get involved and a club for EVERY interest, both personal and professional. My only complaints are that the advisors can be hit or miss. Some advisors are incredible and give you a breath of information and provide you with a ton of resources but some advisors left me with more questions than answers. Some of the professors are amazing and passionate and the reason why I changed my major to economics. On the other hand some professors were so incredibly bad that I changed my major to something outside of their discipline. Some professors courses are incredibly unorganized and were more about them showing off than helping students. Great school!... Read 8,004 reviews

Freshman: I'm having a great time at UM! Move-in is phenomenal; the school provides professional movers to help families unload their vehicles and get students' belongings to the rooms. Orientation programming is fun and includes a variety of activities for students and parents. Class registration for engineering students is completely stress-free. On top of it all, classes are going well. If I had to do all over again, UM would still be my #1 choice.... Read 3,028 reviews

Junior: As a junior and a current student at FSU, I have to say that my experience has been nothing short of amazing. I've had the privilege of spending three incredible years at this institution, and my love for FSU only grows stronger. The campus is not only stunning but also feels like a second home. The professors and staff are truly exceptional, always willing to support and guide us on our academic journey. The opportunities for personal and professional growth are endless, and the diverse range of courses keeps me engaged and excited about learning. But what truly sets FSU apart is the sense of community. The friendships I've formed and the memories I've created here are invaluable. As a junior, I can confidently say that FSU has exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to see what my senior year holds. If you're considering FSU, I can't recommend it enough – it's a place where you'll thrive and create lifelong memories. Go Noles!... Read 7,569 reviews

Freshman: I started attending Florida International University this summer and I absolutely love it. This is the only University that attracted me in Florida. The diversity in this school is truly incredible, there’s so many people from different backgrounds and it’s nice to get to know them. The people there also feel very welcoming and inclusive, and that’s what I really look for in a school. It lets make me gain more knowledge and become less ignorant of others. The professors I’ve had so far are incredible too, they are understanding and good at teaching. It feels like there is a strong support system and you can go to people when you feel troubled. The only bad thing is the parking situation because it can get very complicated at time but its something that can be fixed very quickly. I still love it there tho!... Read 7,424 reviews

Freshman: My school is incredible. Seriously, it's not just a place for classes; it's like a second home. The teachers here are on a whole different level of awesome. They're not just about throwing facts at us; they want us to love learning. It's contagious. You can feel their passion, and it makes every class exciting. I've got to give it to them; they go above and beyond. It's not just about the grades; they want us to think critically, be responsible, and grow as individuals. And guess what? The extracurriculars are so much fun! There's something for everyone, from clubs to sports. It's not just about hitting the books. But it's not just the academics and activities that make this place special. It's the people. The sense of community here is unreal. It's like having a bunch of friends who also happen to be your teachers.It's not just shaping my grades; it's shaping me.... Read 1,410 reviews

Academic life here is very manageable and it’s great because of the small class sizes. There are no student teachers as all Proffesor’s are accredited individuals. I have been able to form great relationships with Proffesor’s. Overall there are so many social and academic opportunities offered here that can advance someone in the future.

Sophomore: Florida Southern is a great school if you are looking for meaningful relationships amongst your professors, beautiful scenery when you need to take your mind off of school, fun activities, and all around welcoming people. Although the food is hot and miss, Florida Southern makes up for it by having numerous dining options. However, I would love to see FSC incorporate even more options including vegetarian/vegan meals instead of just the 1-2 options on the Caf menu. Also, it is outdated. There definitely need to be renovations!... Read 1,181 reviews

Junior: Nursing. Financial aid office A+: knowledge, kind, helpful. Doesn't brush you off. General admissions is disorganized and unhelpful with the exception of one individual I came across, as is nursing admissions. Admin in my major could use some executive couching to improve organizational & communication skills. If you go into the program being prepared to deal with these realities, you will be able to enjoy the many positives the nursing programs UNF offers. Most professors are competent & kind, good clinical opportunities & experience, good teamwork among cohorts. Every nursing program will have it's positives & negative, but UNF is still pretty darn good! While I believe UNF tuition is a hair cheaper than UF, I believe UF has more substantial scholarship opportunities. The additional costs associated with UNF's program (supplies, required purchases) are surprisingly high & higher than what is published on the dept. page, so please research to make best decision for YOU....

Sophomore: Overall, my experience at Stetson University as a freshman was overall good. My experience with professors was amazing, almost all of them being not only my professors, but guides in this new era of my life. Particularly, Dr. Markley and Dr. Burke were my shining lights. Dr. Markley helped to make learning fun and exciting, and talked to us not like we were beneath her, but on the same level as us. Dr. Burke lit a passionate flame for learning and activism that I feel as if no one can extinguish. She was truly a guide in the tumultuous times we are in. Though, there were moments with other faculty and staff that made my experience a bit difficult. My housing was messed up because I wasn't put on an email list. Luckily, that was corrected, and the housing department was very helpful in getting me proper housing and accommodations. I am a bit frustrated with the education department, since one of my class for Fall 2023 was cancelled sending me scrambling to find a class. I found one!... Read 1,460 reviews

Senior: I will be graduating May 2023. Since walking on campus freshman year the professors have been amazing. They truly care about you as an individual and want you to do well. I love the paper and presentation based learning, they are all about hands on teaching. People will call lynn easy or a bad school or too expensive or rich kid school, but if you put effort and truly care about what you are learning then you will get a lot out of your college experience. Lynn has been the best choice I have ever made. I have grown in so many ways, supported and learned so much! If you want professors who care, if you are a leader and want to get involved on campus, if you care about being heard, if you love real world learning and innovation then Lynn is the college for you....

Alum: The Florida Institute of Technology is an excellent private university! I loved my time at Florida Tech, and I hope to return to continue my studies in the future. FIT is perfect for those who prefer a smaller campus, a more intimate classroom environment, and approachable instructors. Florida Tech has a wonderful program for those who need accommodations due to learning disabilities; such as extra time and quiet location during testing. The Student Life and Events at FIT is great! The campus is just minutes away from the beach and only a couple hours from Orlando. There are annual scheduled trips to both Disney World and Universal Studios. Additional student activities include casino night, painting with a twist, and homecoming concert series.... Read 1,109 reviews

Freshman: I’m a biomedical science major and I have absolutely loved it! I’m from Wyoming and it feels like a home away from home. Classes are challenging, yet professors really work with you to make sure you’re at your full potential. I’ve joined so many things that I would’ve never imagined, joined AED (Alpha Epsilon Delta) which is a medical honor society with many volunteer opportunities, rushed for a sorority and have met so many people. It’s crazy to me how kind people are here, always smiling and wanting to talk. On top of everything the campus is absolutely gorgeous and has its own hiking trails.

Freshman: I am so glad I decided to attend Flagler in St Augustine. This school felt like home from the minute I toured it before my senior year of high school. The school is small but large enough to have a wide variety of clubs and activities. Class size is also small which is great because my teachers know me by name and they are really easy to approach with questions or for extra help. I also love the fact that as a first year special Ed major I’ve already been exposed to an elementary classroom environment, cementing the fact that I made the right choice for a future career. I’ve made so many new friends since August and despite a hurricane scare during the second week of classes the Florida weather has been awesome. I’ve been able to try surfing and kayaking which are things I would not have the opportunity to try at other schools. Flagler is a great small school with a large school feel!... Read 1,077 reviews

Other: As an online student, my experience thus far has been quite straightforward. I deem professors very respectable with regards to their assessments as well as very understanding of students. Despite minor complications with registration and advising at times, I would like for advisors to be more informed about the processes I billed when advising students in their particular positions in order to give the right guidance. Apart from this, NSU has been a splendid university for me to attend so far! I am very motivated to learn and complete assignments and I look forward to more in the near future!...

Graduate Student: Hi, I am currently a student at Keiser University and I plan to graduate in 2024 with my associates degree in Medical Assisting in Science. My overall experience so far has been amazing! Each course is fully explained from the instructors and the course content is enjoyable to learn. I find navigating the course content online super simple and grades are always posted promptly. Keiser University has given me every opportunity so far to excel towards success. Personally, I struggled figuring out how to navigate between student portals and the course work my first week and the staff at Keiser University was there to guide me through all the steps and took the time to explain everything to me. The counselor even called to check that I was getting the hang of everything here and there my first month. I think the dedication Keiser University has for their students says a lot about the type of school they are and the commitment they have to see you succeed. -L.S.... Read 1,196 reviews

Senior: My experience with the college has been pretty positive, I think it has its pros and cons just like any college. They have done very well with keeping in contact with me about anything I need and have kept in touch about my mental health throughout the program, which is something I have found that not many colleges take into consideration especially with how intense the program can get. I think the only real downside I have found is that the classes and teachers can be intense sometimes but I am on track to get my degree much faster so I can't complain too much!...

Sophomore: The first thing I can say about Indian River State College (IRSC), specifically Massey Campus-- I haven't been to the other campuses-- is that my experience with advisors has been the best. The advisors here are so thorough and understanding, even if that means supporting your goals of going to another school. They genuinely provide comfort and the best advisory for your personal ambitions. If I could change anything, it would be the professors! It definitely depends, but I would say some professors here should not have the ability to teach...I'm sorry, but I'm being truthful. What I do love is the atmosphere of the school. Even though it is small, so there is not much student life, but the staff makes do with what they have and I love the intention of inclusion and support/community for the student body....
