Florida Polytechnic University is a unique university whose class building was designed by world-renown architect Dr. Santiago Calatrava. This is a university that offers many degrees that help prepare the students for the careers needed today. Florida Poly is the right university for students who want to learn in classrooms with small student-to-teacher ratios and who want one-on-one time with their professors.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Students coming into Florida Poly should have a good background in math and science preferably Precalculus and or Calculus, Physics, and Chemistry. Students coming in should have a mindset to not procrastinate. They should also come ready and willing to learn.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Florida Polytechnic University's academic rigor is pretty strong. The classes are not just regular classes that don't require you to do anything except show up; the classes are fast-paced and contain a medium to large homework load.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The Student Residence Halls are very nice. The students have a washer and drier in each of their three/four bedroom suites. They have ping-pong and billiards tables on the first floor along with a kitchen and small workout facility.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
The food at Florida Polytechnic University is amazing. The cooks there are incredibly talented and kind. They make their own food there and the food is very high quality. The burgers actually taste like real beef, the pizza is better than any restaurant that I have been to, and the vegetarian food there is healthy and delicious.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There are many things to do depending on what an individual considers fun. There are students playing soccer and ultimate frisby in the open grass on their off time. Different unofficial clubs have meetings usually once to twice a week and new clubs are constantly being made. Paintball is an option for fun that some students have been talking about going off campus to play.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Florida Poly has some expensive food, but it is very delicious and most of it is actually healthy. However, if one wishes to save money instead of paying for food at Florida Poly everyday, he or she should bring food from home or buy groceries from a Publix nearby and make his or her own food to take to school.
