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!

Although Stetson is a small school with some retention concerns, students must find themselves at home while on campus. As an incoming senior I know I made the right choice with my education and I understand my peers that transferred earlier on- the small population and small class sizes weren’t fit for them and that’s okay! Stetson offers great , in depth courses where you truly get to know your professors and feel like you’re not just student #123
The most notable difference between Stetson and other universities is the ease of access to buildings and facililities. The campus is rather compact, which puts everything within walking distance. Another contribution to the Stetson experience would have to be the atmosphere produced via Stetson's core values of intellectual development, personal growth, and global citizenship. This has helped keep every student focused and driven in their respective interests.
The only negative aspects I've observed are high costs and mediocre communication. Stetson hosts an abundance of events, so it is difficult to advertize everything to everyone. Stetson is also fairly expensive. Although tuition rises each year, the most recent increase of 2.9% is the lowest in Stetson history. So there is hope for a more affordable future!
