- Rollins has a beautiful campus with multiple spots to relax and do homework or hang out with friends while also accessing wifi (even in the middle of the lawn).
- The faculty and staff have a genuine care about your well-being and will go out of their way to make sure that their students are succeeding.
- The variety of classes offered to undergraduate students include a variety of interests in order that students enjoy their classes while fulfilling the general education requirements.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
- Bring shower shoes because the showers are communal in most underclassmen dorms
- Do not get overwhelmed by the social scene on the weekends and evenings there will be plenty of Jay Gatsby and Mitch Buchannon parties throughout your time here
- Ask for help if you need it, Rollins offers a variety of free services for students in order that they succeed
- Do NOT believe everything you read on Rollins Confessions/College Confessions, most of that is extremely untrue
- Small class sizes = professors know if you didn't do the reading/assignment
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Since Rollins is a liberal arts college, as a student, you will take courses in all fields in order to obtain a well-rounded education while fulfilling your electives and general education requirements to graduate. Also, class sizes are small and most professors are very discussion oriented so be sure to stay on top of readings and assignments in order to actively participate and receive a good grade in the course.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Adjusting to sharing a living space with someone can be difficult but the summer before your freshman year begins, Rollins sends a housing packet for you to fill out with your individual lifestyle preferences. There is no grey areas with most of the questions so be sure to fill them out to the best of your abilities about which thing you prefer (studying at night or day, etc.).
Once on campus, there will be amazing activities that your RA hosts, GO TO THEM. They're great community builders and a lot of fun usually with a lot of free things :).
Be prepared for loud noises in the hallways, especially on Fox Day ;)
Describe the food and dining at your college.
There is only one option for the meal plan so hopefully you like to eat. The main dining hall has interesting, different options each evening however, there are other eating locations on campus in addition to Dominos and Park Avenue Pizza delivering to campus using your meal plan money.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is so much for students to do on campus because different student organizations host events almost on a daily basis (usually notified through Facebook or the daily email). In addition, Park Avenue is wonderful to walk around and Winter Park Village is about a mile up the road (there is a complementary shuttle that runs on Friday evenings to and from the WPV). Also, there is something to do downtown if that is what excites you, Jay Gatsby and Mitch Buchannon are the wonderful Rollins (anonymous students) party planners.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Rollins offers so many opportunities and things for the students it is definitely worth the money!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Fox Day - Spring Semester. Classes Cancelled. Day of Fun. Enough Said.
Jumping/Being thrown in Lake Virginia on your birthday - at least once before you graduate (be prepared, it will happen to you at least once)
