Review of Florida Gulf Coast University

from Dunedin, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I am learning a lot both through lectures and self-teaching. When your professor says read, READ!

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

I love the atmosphere! It's not huge, but it's big enough. The people are amazing and always there to help. Most of my professors knew me by name and I wasn't just a name on a long list to them.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

It's affordable for Florida Residents.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Make multiple copies of the syllabus and keep them everywhere. Keep up with reading and it helps to start studying when you find out a test date, not the night or just hours before. Also, go to extra help if a professor offers it and participate in class.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This is a great school for someone that wants to attend a major university, yet one where they won't be lost in the chaos. People who like being away from a major city but also close enough if they need one will do well here. The campus is beautiful and the people are great!
