Eckerd College

Lack of Wifi in Dorms

Most people bring their laptops to the library because there is very poor connection elsewhere. The college is supposed to be known for being "wired", but I have been to other schools with way better connection.

Very Prepared.

I am an environmental major and though I haven't finished my degree yet I feel very confident in my program and my ability to find work in my field after graduation. The classes are fun and engaging and are jam packed with information that you don't even realize you are soaking up because the classes and professors in the environmental program are exceptional.

Awesome Dorm Living

Dorm life at Eckerd college is excellent. All the dorms besides the sigma dorm are centrally located-close to everything on campus. Rooms are generally larger then most other dorms at other schools I've visited. Close to 90% of all students live on campus which is great for social life. There are traditional dorms great for freshman that encourage social life and "friend making." There are also two apartment style dorms that are great for upperclassmen. Also, the view from a select few of the dorms are amazing, overlooking the beautiful Tampa Bay. The price is a average for dorm living, but when else are you going to be living on the water, basically almost beachfront property, oh yeah there's a beach located on campus. Laundry machines located in all the dorms complexes and the cost to do laundry is honestly way cheaper than at many other school, a full load-wash and dry is only $1.25. Traditional dorms all have centrally located communial bathrooms, clean and convienent. The apartment style dorms all have private bathrooms attached to the rooms. The sigma dorm also has bathrooms attached to each room because it is a converted hotel, but sigma is located, almost isolated at the front of campus. Overall dorm living is awesome.
