This is a small private institution located in DeLand, Florida. It is a very well organized and fun school to attend. The academic standards are set very high and it is an all around great place to be.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Be prepared to write many papers and study really hard. Depending upon what professors you receive, you could have a lot more work in one class. Overall, all of the professors are very nice and it is a great environment to be in.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
This is the Harvard of the South they say and after going through my freshmen year, I can conform that statement completely. There is no slacking off or getting an easy class. Every class you take is going to challenge you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
Living in the dorms was a great experience for me. I personally like living in the community bathrooms because you don't have to clean the bathrooms yourself. Living in the dorms aloud me to meet many new people and allowed all of us to hangout and study together while having lots of fun at the same time.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Stetson does an amazing job in food and dining. I am a morning person so I am going to say that the breakfast food is the best. You can get basically anything you can think of for breakfast and Friday mornings is biscuits and gravy day which is my favorite. Other than breakfast, lunch and dinner are also very good. They give you a very wide selection of things to chose from which is good so you don't get used to the same thing over and over again.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
I am a football player at Stetson so for me, football is my fun. If I don;t have football, we will most likely travel over to Daytona for the day and go to the beach and enjoy our day over there. They do have a pool on campus so you can go to that as well. The Edmund's center is also a very entertaining place to go and have fun. They have a full weight-room, ping pong, basketball courts, pool table, etc. It is the social spot.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Stetson is a very expensive school to attend but they do their best to give you as much money as they can to help you out. Although it is very expensive, graduating from such a prestigious school will most likely land you a great job that will help pay for student loans you may have accumulated while attending school.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
There is the Fountain located in the center of campus and although people do throw change into it, it is also where you take your friends at midnight of their birthday and throw them in. We did this many times this year so it has now become a tradition to be thrown into the fountain on your birthday.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are a student that needs lots of help and tutoring, Stetson is the place for you. You can get all of the tutoring and help you want because it is all included into your tuition. There are many computer labs with supplies and printer that you may also use at no charge because it is all included into your tuition.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are so many extra curricular activities you can do while attending Stetson. Most people play in the club sports because it is the same as competing in a real game but it is club instead of NCAA. There are also lots of side clubs you can get involved in, you just have to contact the director of that club and you will be on your way to having a good time.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
Although Stetson is a smaller private school, the Greek life on this campus is intense. They get involved in many social and community events helping out with whatever they can. They are also the life of the party. If you want to go out and enjoy yourself and have a good time after a long week of hard work then the FRATS is were it is at. They are very friendly and will allow almost everyone into there house to party and socialize.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
The public safety at stetson are on top of everything. They are patrolling the school 24 hours a day to make sure everything is alright and everything is running smoothly. You can actually call them for a ride across school if you really want to and they have no problem with that. They will come to your dorm and rive you to wherever you want to go on campus. I have done that a few times and it is pretty nice. Overall they are very good.
