How would you describe the dorm life at this school?

I don’t live in a dorm, I don’t think they offer dorms on my campus (tarpon springs).

How would you describe the food and dining options?

We have a cafeteria but the food honestly doesn’t look that good and is overpriced in my opinion. However, there are a lot of random events on campus throughout the semester that offer free food like Chick-fil-A, pizza or donuts for students so it’s always great to check the calendar for those. This semester (spring 2024) I got free food 3 or 4 times.

In your experience, what is there to do for fun at this college?

We have a lot of random events on campus usually with free food. Last semester there was a fairy themed tea party in the Clearwater campus.

I don’t know much about this but we do always have some sort of free food or therapy dogs on campus during midterm and finals seasons so that’s always nice to relax.

How has your college supported your career development and future goals?

The advisors have been very helpful in showing me the right path for what I want to do in the future, they helped me pick my major and of course the classes to go along.
