Flagler College is small which is perfect if you are looking for a small college. The academics in here are excellent, and the professors really care about you. If you are looking for a party school, this is not one but it does have a nice nightlife.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you are planning to apply to Flagler, take into account that it is a small school. Do not come in here if you don't like attendance, or small classrooms. This is a small college and it will help you with whatever you need but it won't help you if you are not willing to stay in here. Also, take into account the inter-dorm visitation policy, read about it here: https://my.flagler.edu/ics/Campus_Life/Residential_Living.jnz
If you love the beach then this is the college for you, it is very near St. Augustine beach and the weather is perfect everyday. It has a very cool and laid-back ambient but it is expected for you to complete your academic work on time.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
It is expected that you attend to class and that you do your homework. You can only miss 20% of your classes (which is roughly 6-9 classes per semester).
Describe the dorm life at your college.
I am a male so I do not know how the girl's dormitories are like. I can tell you that the male dorms are big, they have a shared bathroom with another dorm (4 people, 1 bathroom) and the RA's are always cool guys. Overall they are comfortable and not bad at all.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The dining hall has its days. Some days it will be very very good. Other days it will suck but you only have to eat here for your freshmen year so don't worry. It is not as bad as other websites portray it. You have a salad bar, a sandwich bar (best one), a gourmet bar and the usual cafeteria food. Also, pizza is always available and vegetarian food too. Any way there is still The Bistro at the student center which has its own Chick-Fil-A and The boars head which are both amazing.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
This is not a party-school. Still, there are 21+ bars around town and some days they are 18+, house parties are always good for the nightlife and everybody is super chill. No greek life, which is kind of good after all. If partying is not your thing there is still a lot of places to go. Flagler College is at the center of St. Augustine Historic District so there are a lot of restaurants and museums and attractions one can go to. Also, there are a lot Flagler traditions.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
It is completely worth it. I love it here and I wouldn't change it for anything. Keep in mind that this is not a college for everyone so read more reviews and don't trust only one of them. Food is great, nightlife is good, and education is excellent. Do not hesitate to come here if you feel it is right for you.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The Harry Potter Month. Flagler looks like Hogwarts, so it is expected we have a Harry Potter month. Each November the school becomes Hogwarts. The dining hall becomes the great hall with flying owls and all of the faculty becomes a professor of Hogwarts, bitterer and wizardly treats are ensured. There is also de destress week and some festivals on west lawn.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Students that like Education and Partying in a balanced way.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
A lot of clubs and A lot of activities. There is a club for everything. Surfing, adventures, business management, ENACTUS, international students, soccer, volleyball, sports, gaming guild etc..

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Safest Campus ever. Security is always one phone call away and they provide shuttle services in campus grounds. They are also really nice guys.
