I absolutely love Santa Fe. It's such a small college with a big college attitude. Everyone is very friendly and always open to lend a hand. It's a great place to start as a freshman
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be open to making new friends. Not that it's hard at Santa Fe. Everyone is very friendly and you meet so many people by just standing at the Bookstore line and striking a conversation and the classes are small so it's easy to get to know everyone in the class
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Santa Fe is what a community college should be. There is no babying or anything like that. You learn very quickly that you no longer in highs school.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
There are no dorms at Santa Fe but I thought to answer anyways. I live in an apartment close to the college, just a bus ride away and I love it. I have roommates and I did a roommate matching.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Gainesville is a small town but there's something to eat at just about every corner. Just hop on the bus, which is free with a Santa Fe ID and go out to the oaks mall or even archer rd.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Downtown is where all the fun is at. The closer to UF the better. My girlfriends and I have stumbled on little nook restaurants and ice cream shoppes and there's this apple bees that I offers karaoke nights on thrusdays and it's packed to the brim with college students and it's just a fun atmosphere
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Cheaper. I'm planning to transfer to UF in three years and I've already saved so much money. I'm transferring for my bachelors in Zoology but I'm doing a dual enrollement of sorts because I'm still going to be in Santa Fe working on my AS in technical zoology at the zoo. Im going to be saving so much money!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Santa Fe always has something going on, food, music, free tshirts- you name it. Always stay updated on the ESanta Fe website
Which types of students will excel at your college?
Any type, really. It's a chill place
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
They have every club imaginable. And if they don't have a club you like, make one. People are always willing to try new things.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
Very safe. I had a night class I had to take and security was always on campus. And they had the call posts which you only have to press a button and the security cart will come and investigate or escort you to wherever you need to go
