Florida Polytechnic is a great place to get your education. Everyone on staff is extremely helpful and always willing to answer questions. Class sizes are always small and academic centered.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Housing fills up fast! Apply early and reserve your spot in the dorms.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Dorms are currently apartment style and very modern.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There are two separate styles of dining in the wellness center. A buffet style dinning option along with a grill and substation. No matter what you choose the food is awesome!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Being exactly in the mid point of Orlando and Tampa gives us many options of fun things to do. We are just a short 45 minute drive to downtown Orlando where you can spend the weekend at numerous theme parks including Disney World and Universal. We are also 45 minutes from Tampa which has activities such as Busch Gardens, the zoo, and the Florida Aquarium. If you are looking for something closer to the school there is numerous events always happening in downtown Lakeland. For example, First Fridays, the food truck rally, the farmers market, and zombie fest.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Being a state university keeps this option very low budget. Which for me was important. I always wanted to go to a smaller college and most state colleges have 50,000 students but at Florida Poly they are putting a cap at 5,000 student which keeps class sizes small. So you are getting the experience of being at a smaller private college at the price of a state university.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Florida Polytechnic is great for students interested in the stem field.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The campus is very safe. There are always officers or security guards on staff to protect the campus. The officers are very friendly and willing to escort you to your dorm room or car after a late night class or event.
