Review of Florida Polytechnic University

from Land o Lakes, FL

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be ready to study tech. Make sure that you really enjoy it, because there aren't any majors that are unrelated to STEM for you to switch into should you change your mind. Also remember that FL Poly isn't accredited yet, so the FAFSA is a no-go, but they say that you can send a copy to them and they'll see what they can do. Bright Futures will be you're friend if you are a Florida resident, because they can and will accept that.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes certainly seem like they will be difficult, but also exciting! It's very easy to reach your professors since all of their offices are on the second floor of the main building, which is great when you want to ask for help.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms look great! I'll be signing up for a 4 person dorm, where everyone gets their own room and there are 2 bathrooms, which is a huge plus.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

There is a huge array of dining opportunities outside of the university, and there is a Publix nearby.

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

Besides being a state school, I'm getting a scholarship for $7000/year. If you keep up decent grades, you're sure to get a great scholarship heading your way, along with if you qualify for Bright Futures here in Florida.
