    1 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Alum: I received a high quality education at FSU. I liked the newness of many of the classrooms (implementation of Smart, up-to-date technology) that somehow did not sacrifice the traditional, historical aesthetic to do so. I felt I received a Mona Lisa Smile experience at the in-state tuition price! There was huge versatility of choice in majors and program-specific internship opportunities. Most of all, I was serviced with fantastic one-on-one advisor attention throughout my entire bachelor's course (4 years). Excellent free help labs (economics, accounting) and tutoring services. Excellent gym.

    Sophomore: I LOVE the comradery demonstrated at Florida A&M University. There is so much pride and history associated with being a Rattler. Administrators and students alike want to see you win and are always there to lend a hand. It is as if everyone gets that if I WIN, everyone WINS! My first year being away from home took some adjusting, but that has turned into me having a 2nd home at Florida A&M University. Academically, there is so much support for me and it's taught me a whole different level of achievement.

    Sophomore: I would like to say that Bethune Cookman University provides its inhabitants with an experience unlike any other. Being started by an African American woman it holds a legacy that remains unmatched. Strong, resilient and proud Wildcats continue to roar! I will say that; although the surrounding areas are deemed undesirable the community finds B-CU to be the glue that brings everyone together. I came in as a freshman during the Summer 2017 session and I've made friends that not only can relate on a cultural level but also share the same pride and passion for achieving their goals. Thank you!

    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!

    6 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: I picked UM because I wanted to stay living in Miami and my parents went there. My brother currently goes there now too. We are a full fledge UM family. It's in our blood I guess! The campus is gorgeous. The classrooms are modern. The resources and diversity are endless. Students are friendly and very school spirited. There is much participation and enthusiasm in all regards. What I would like to see change among the student body is the "rich-kid" vibe. Seeing as it is a private school, many students come from affluent backgrounds and it is reflected in their sense of entitlement and the flashy brands they are constantly clad in.

    Junior: Florida Memorial University is a great l school with excellent faculty and staff member from the professors to the grounds men. The campus is small in size but a great atmosphere to grow up in. The classes are small and that one on one time with professors for extra guidance is excellent to have.
    The University has grown since my Freshman year, rather than practicing traditions they are creating them. The campus is very diverse so you can meet different people and there is something for everyone to come together and do at all times from sports, Greek life to musicals.
    Overall my experience at FMU has been awesome for me and going into my Junior year still and honor student and starting basketball player has been and will continue to be great. I rate FMU an AMAZING 5!

    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"!

    Junior: Edward Waters College is a historically black college located in Jacksonville, FL. I like this college because it offers smaller classroom settings which allow more time for one on one assistance with the professor. I am majoring in Psychology and my professors demonstrate concern in my ability to learn and grow as student and person. EWC also have a police sub-station located on campus for any parents concerned about safety. The staff and administrators are very knowledgeable in their fields

    Graduate Student: Home of the Panther! FIU is a diverse university with many outside entertainments and school fundraising activities. Amazing, caring, professional educators who holds each student accountable for their work. Excuses are not tolerable at this university as each student is expected to deliver assignments on time or before any listed deadlines. The setting of the campus is beautiful, immaculate, and surrounded by various food locations. The campus is also enormous and can be difficult for students who are incapacitated or disabled to attend their classes on time. More elevators should be created to accommodate these students.

    Niche User: I loved the University of Tampa because of the diversity on campus, the overall student life, the class sizes and how students are able to connect to professors, and the beautiful downtown area where it is located. They have recently built a new nursing building with some of the best technology available. Tampa is a beautiful area and the university fits perfectly in it. I would only change the tuition price and the financial aid given by the school because they are quite competitive but, overall it is an excellent school!

    12 Best Greek Life Colleges in Florida

    Sophomore: USF has surpassed any expectations I ever had on what life would be at college. Being a relatively new university there is a lot of pride and youthful energy in the professors, administration, and students. The MSC is a great student hub with a good food court, a restaurant, 4 floors of study or “chilling” areas, offices, event rooms, a theater, a ballroom, a pharmacy, a computer store and many more things. The library has resources from state of the art equipment, macs and PCs, digital media equipment with green screens, quiet study floors, a Starbucks, tutoring center, a writing center and so many more things. Central campus is very pretty and very green, with the MLK plaza in the middle and trees perfectly lined up. The athletics are great including the 3 gyms which include an indoor and an outdoor swimming pools, dance studio, wrestling room, cardio floor, weight floor, indoor track, volleyball, basketball and racquetball courts. We bleed green with a heart of gold. Go bulls!

    Senior: JU is an awesome school! The classes are small which is great for Professors to be attentive to their students. In addition, JU's campus is diverse and very inclusive and it's easy to adapt to the campus. One change I would like to see is the expansion of the cafeteria and more dining halls.

    Alum: Stetson University has incredible faculty, staff and students that strive to create an inclusive and challenging educational environment. I felt very at home at Stetson, and greatly appreciate the time that I spent there.
    Over the past few years, there have been a few administrative decisions that have been questionable, such as unusual aesthetic additions and a large enrollment increase without sufficient housing opportunities. Much of the campus has been under construction as of 2017, which created some short-term inconveniences but will (hopefully) lead to long-term improvements!

    Alum: It was PERFECT for me! Santa Fe College gives so much grace to students who stumble in the beginning of the college career. And I’m not meaning they pass you without you even trying, but they give you the resources to improve yourself. It was definitely God’s plan(no Drake reference) for me to attend Santa Fe fresh out of high school. The staff and instructors are so sweet, at least the ones I was taught under. And the students are just as a friendly. Everybody is motivated to continue their careers and work really hard. I’m happy to have received my AA degree from them.

    Works Here: I am a staff member and also very proud alumnus. Florida Southern is a wonderful institution with a lot of educational opportunities and extracurricular activities for students.

I also participated in three internships and studied abroad. Lakeland is great too! It is a tight knit suburban community with a lot to offer college students. There are a lot of really great restaurants and I love the Lakeside Village. Florida Southern changed my life for the best! GO MOCS!

    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!

There are many different varieties to eat at and the university is very diverse. There is always something to do and most days there are stands on the Breezeway that inform you about clubs, other universities or programs that individuals can join. Also the advisers are great and they will do everything they can to help out.

In my first week as a freshman, we had an orientation week and the staff and students were just incredible. The orientation leaders loved helping and making connections with the new students that they keep all throughout college. They did many activities like color wars and taking us to Busch Gardens. Saint Leo also is very good with keeping up with students throughout the year and making sure they stay on track. The staff is always very helpful and kind. If I could change anything it would be that the school would have a football team. I miss the Friday Night Lights every week.

The academics are also very well thought out and taught in order to better the students. Nova's campus is also beautiful and easy to navigate. Not only are the buildings well taken care of but so is the property. However, personally I think the food choices could be better and a football team is needed. Go Sharks!

    Niche User: The campus is simply amazing! They have two supercomputers, some maker labs, stuff for videogame design, video production, and probably other things that I am forgetting.
    However, while they are a STEM only school, the course selections as of 2018 are rather limited. But, in the future, they should be a great little STEM colledge to attend. The classes, campus, and dorms were absolutely stunning as well.
