    #1 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Niche User: When I visited Florida State University over the summer, I fell in love with the campus. I loved the wide spaces and atmosphere. The students were friendly and always willing to give a helping hand. FSU also has a good academic stance in admitting students who are qualified to attend the university. Though some may argue that FSU is only a "party school," it certainly is not only that. They provide a great nursing program along with clubs that will get you very involved with the school. I am excited to start school here in 2020!

    #2 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Alum: I like how Florida A&M University is a medium-sized historically black university with about 9,000 students. It is easy to get around campus by walking, driving, or taking the bus. They have an excellent business program that allows students to concentrate in marketing, finance, economics, management, or accounting and get easy access to corporate recruiters that come to visit the campus. They also have a lot of resources on campus including their library, a gym, student union, and restaurants like Chick-Fil-A, Tropical Smoothie, and Starbucks. It is a fun environment that focuses on supporting its students while ensuring they live the ultimate college life. The only thing they need to improve is their athletic teams. But when their football team isn’t doing so well, people always enjoy the sound of the marching band, the Marching 100. The university is currently working on building new dorms on campus, so I think that will be something that highly improves student life.

    #3 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Senior: The University of Florida still continues to amaze me even after my three years of attendance. There are so many clubs, organizations, and other opportunities that continue to arise for their students. This school is also part of organizations that the Gainesville community benefits on, such as the Big Event. This organization is held by the University of Florida students and upholding leaders, who participate in cleaning up various areas in Gainesville. There is a large variety of good that this school does for not only their students but also the surrounding area. Not to mention the professors do their best to teach students the required material in order for their future successes to be met. Overall, the University of Florida has gone above and beyond to meet the needs of their students, staff, the surrounding community, and much more!

    Freshman: Bethune cook-man is an extremely incredible school. They ensure your scholastics is dependably put first regardless of what . Likewise the athletic division is wonderful we have some incredible games that will drive you to a success! In general everything is extraordinary other than educational cost which is absurdly high, which is for what reason I'm applying for this grant.

    • 2,749 reviews
    #5 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: University of Miami is one of the most beautiful schools structurally as well as exceptionally academic. From its quaint fountain lake to its modern building architecture, UM's landscape is a playground. Ducks, lizards and all types of animals freely live in harmony with the amused students, creating an adventurous atmosphere. Professors are compassionate to individual student concerns, and are always there to aid in understanding the material or to listen with a genuine manner. The students are always grateful, seen walking around campus with a natural bliss created by the mixture of warm weather and visually pleasing stimuli. There are events everyday, either frat promotions, club activities, or donation collections. Donate a dollar and throw a pie in a participant's face! There is always something extracurricular to do on campus such as free concerts; Zedd performed this last year! Although UM is a lot of fun, the library is a special place for commitment to studying.

    #6 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: I am finishing my second year at the University of Central Florida, and undoubtedly, I am very content with my experience thus far. UCF is a diverse campus with tens of thousands of students, thereby providing us with an amazing opportunity to connect. Personally, I have met some incredible friends through attending this university and experienced some unforgettable memories. Generally, the professors I have had over my two years at UCF have been very helpful in my journey to become more knowledgeable; the knowledge I've acquired through my classes at UCF has expanded my horizons and has given me plenty of hope for my future endeavors. The campus is absolutely beautiful and I feel very safe there; it is easy to navigate, as I adapted to the campus within my first two weeks! I dearly appreciate the inclusivity of UCF and how free people feel to express themselves; I believe our campus is one of the all-time best. I'll always remember UCF!

    #7 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: My experience thus far at Florida Memorial University was amazing. To be attending the only HBCU in South Florida is a privilege. The academics, student life, dorm life, partying it’s great. I would just like to see students themselves being more involved in the activities the staff has. They really care about the concerns about the students and always try their best to keep them satisfied and safe. It may seem as a “ghetto” school, but 90% of the students graduate from there and find a job and that’s all that matters. The change I would like to see from this school is fixing of the old dorms, so that more students can be able to attend and get a wonderful and unforgettable experience.

  8. Rollins College

    • 4 Year

    • 965 reviews
    #8 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Junior: During my time at Rollins College, I have been able to develop myself Immensely on both a professional and personal level! As a Business Management Major, I have found courses offered through the Department of Business to be great! The class sizes are small (just around 20-30 students) and from my experience, the faculty members are very interested in ensuring that their students are able to learn and apply concepts to real-life applications! So many opportunities have come my way from a liberal-arts education and it wouldn't be possible without the incredible faculty members and community as a whole!

    Now (on a side note), if you are an individual who is sensitive to air quality and living conditions, you may want to put lots of consideration into living conditions and look at potentially feasible dorm options. This may involve planning in advance for the long-term. At the moment, Rollins is investing in capital improvements on campus for new and improved dorms and living conditions

    #9 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: UT has amazing professors who are genuinely concerned about student learning. There are so many opportunities to be involved in hundreds of clubs, sports, and activities. Career services is also useful in providing career/internship/resume/etc. help every week! UT has a beautiful campus and many amazing new buildings (such as the Graduate Health Sciences building, Palm apartments, etc.). The fitness center is state of the art (AMAZING) and has its own calisthenics room. UT also has a pool open to students and has very strong sports teams such as volleyball, baseball, and swimming, etc. The Honors Program provides many opportunities for extended learning, symposia, and networking.
    CONS: UT wifi is often very poor, arguably too much money is spent on landscaping, and there is no housing for juniors and seniors (who must move off-campus).

    #12 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Niche User: The campus is very large and beautiful as well as the people there. The students there are always helpful and courteous when visitors are around. Including the student workers, they are diligently focused and on point. The dorms are greatly taken care of and prepped for newcomers. Also, provide a living room for the kids to get together and meet. The security is great, from the use of a student's university card to get passed the locked doors. It always smells so nice and refreshing when coming through the building's doors(air conditioned always). Honestly, the things that the university provided you is like coming into a new hotel, everything is taken care of. No trash laying around,no cars parked to block roadways, no employees being disrespectful and no sloppy hallways in the buildings. One more thing! They just built a brand new Publix store on campus! That is pretty cool.

  15. Stetson University

    • 4 Year
    • DeLand, FL
    • 1,311 reviews
    #13 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Freshman: Stetson is a great school! Since it is small, professors really get to know you and they actually care about you and can spend more time helping you. Everyone is super nice, including the students. There are tons of opportunities for you to grow and get involved. The town DeLand is a cute close-knit community, there are tons of way to be involved outside of campus as well. The only downside of this school is the cost, it can be pretty expensive and there are many ways that you can get charged (like losing your dorm key). If you're looking for a party school, Stetson is not the school for you. Stetson is very academic and rigourous, so the lack of a party life may be downside if that is what you are looking for.

    #14 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Freshman: Overall FGCU is a good school. It is located in a small beach town. They should have more housing options off campus. All on campus dorms should be available to all students, not seperated by class. The school offers reasonable tuition, caring teachers, and staff. Could have more advisors. Advisors need better training. Students know more about registration than they do. Did not like mandatory overnight orientation, waste of time, one day would have been better. Orientation was disorganized and registration for classes was put on hold until orientation was complete. Financial Aid office processes disbursements extremely slow. I would like to see a better Art Program. More courses should be available for Art, specifically in animation.

    Freshman: Jacksonville University is a very good school that gives their students a lot of opportunities for success. The way that their programs are constructed allows students to have many different experiences before going out into the working world. The staff on campus are really helpful when it comes to different living situations and backgrounds. There are activities t for every type of student, and resources with in arms reach. The only thing negative I can say about the school is the affordability. One will have to find a lot of outside scholarships even when having the highest paid scholarships for academics.

  18. Florida Southern College

    • 4 Year
    • Lakeland, FL
    • 1,067 reviews

    Freshman: Florida Southern really does have the most beautiful campus. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk from one end of campus to another, so the walk to class isn't too bad if you aren't a morning person. The teachers at Florida Southern are well-educated with experience in their fields, and they really do want to see you succeed. Your professor will know your name, and get to know your personality so that they can help you achieve your goals. That is the best part about going to a smaller school. Not only do you know the professors, but you know everyone on campus. Stronger and more personal relationships can be built in this homey environment. They give out really great scholarships too! The athletics are great, especially Basketball, Baseball, and Lacrosse, but I do wish we had a football team sometimes. The freshman dorms aren't the best, but after that they get much nicer. The food is pretty good. The local area is amazing, there is always something to do, or somewhere to eat.

    Freshman: UWF has a phenomenal talent for dealing with students who have special needs, as far as I know they are one of the best schools in the nation for helping handicapped students, although I am not a member of that community specifically, I am glad to know I am a part of a school who takes care of individuals in such a caring, and understanding way. Continually, the STEM program here is amazing! My one gripe to keep it from getting 5 stars, is the myuwf homepage, as it is poorly designed and non-intuitive in most ways, however seeing as I use that page nearly every day, it is somewhat of a large problem. Overall though, in terms of learning, and campus enjoyment, absolutely lovely college!

    Senior: Being at FAU is truly a unique experience. Unlike many college communities where the local area is based on the life of the college students; FAU is based on the life outside which in turn influences how the college acts as a whole. We are in a central location less than an hour from three of South Florida's major metro cities, meaning there is always something to do. Being in South Florida also means that there is an extremely diverse population on the campus. Walking down the breezeway it isn't uncommon to hear a plethora of different languages being spoken. FAU's strongest asset is its location, it makes FAU the school to go to!

I was able to conduct research alongside my professor and even got the opportunity to present at our school's undergraduate symposium! It was a great and wonderful experience! The University has done a great job with safety and security and I have felt very safe on campus, even when I took a class at night. As far as attaining education is concerned, the environment of the school has been conducive to my overall learning; as I've adapted the skills to learn and study more effectively throughout the semester and for the designed coursework. All in all, a great school and a great environment for learning!

    • Saint Leo, FL
    • 1,749 reviews

    Junior: Saint Leo University is an amazing University. A small campus, however you meet many great people from all over the country and different parts of the world. Saint Leo University lies on six pillars. Excellence, Respect, Community, Personal Development, Responsible Stewardship, and Integrity. All six pillars sound silly when you take your first step at being a lion on campus, but through time and experience, you truly understand and use these six pillars in your education, on campus, and in your day to day life. At Saint Leo University, there is something said here "You will love the person you become here." I think at first, through all the school work, activates and living life for four years, you would not understand. Yet, once you hit that stage, and you move your tassel and you have flashbacks of fun times, good times, bad times, and so much more. You truly do recognize, "You do Love the Person You Became Here" at Saint Leo University.

    Senior: Very rigorous curriculum, so keep up! Professors vary from understanding, to following everything to the book. A lot of self-teaching, but resources are available. There are tons of resources and opportunities at this school which makes you a desirable candidate for future employers. Take advantage of the different societies that are on campus, and the research opportunities on campus. And scholarships. Because they are there. Also, do not get caught up in the culture of comparison, focus on yourself, goals, and progress (and help others too) and you will succeed. Campus food, tuition, and housing are rising as WPI continue to expand and accepting more students while club funding is decreasing. On campus housing isn't guaranteed so live off campus when possible. College city, easy to get around on foot.

I was emailing the Senior Assistant Director of Admissions Megan Spurrel, and I 90% do not recommend contacting her with questions and you’re better off emailing someone else on the admissions team. I was asking about the Worldwide program and wondering if I would be able to transfer to it if my major was offered by the program and whatnot (it’s not.) Never did I say I definitely wanted to transfer, and I never asked her to cancel my application but she took it upon herself to do so (I emailed her back before she did, thankfully.) I find it ridiculous that she would assume that was okay when I was ONLY INQUIRING. I’ve read through the emails, there is no way she should’ve gotten confused and believed it was alright to cancel my application. Besides her, I’ve heard nothing but good things about the institution. I hope that everything works out so I can attend!

    Sophomore: Springfield College is a great school, going in as a freshman is obviously scary but they did a great job of bringing us together by having orientation. The dining hall is not very good but you can always find something! The campus is very pretty and nice if you are looking for a smaller campus. Our athletics are amazing and there is always big fan sections! The parties are of course very fun but you just need to find your crowd!
