Review of Rollins College

from Naples, FL

Describe your college in three sentences.

Beautiful, tree-covered campus on Lake Virginia. It's located in Winter Park, a nice, lively town a little bit north of Tampa. The mascot is the Tar, an old word for sailor.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Apply early, visit and contact coaches if interested in sports.

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

The classes are seminar-styled in which students and teacher (never a T.A.) sit in a round table and participate in a discussion. It is very obvious if you did not read or prepare.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

Dorms are okay, not too big. There are single's available, but most freshmen dorms are doubles. Each floor is divided in two wings; each wing shares a common bathroom with showers. Free laundry available.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

Students need to purchase full meal plans as freshmen, but have lots of choices to choose from.

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

Somewhat pricey; get as many scholarships as you can. Take advantage of the free kayaking, bicycle rentals, canoeing, pool and gym.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Fox day- look it up, it's great!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

International Business majors

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

Rush is in the spring of Freshmen year, therefore you can move in sorority/fraternity house the following year.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

Very safe, emergency phones everywhere. To get into a building, students need to scan school I.D which will only unlock their dorm building.
