Best of Eckerd College

Sunny Florida

Having a campus right on the water, coupled with the amount of vitamin D students receive from the amount of sun St. Petersburg gets makes the student body generally more happy.

It's a Mix

I'd say there is a mixture of people at Eckerd. There are the serious students who actually want to learn, but I feel many are there just to have fun and party non-stop. Then there is a small group who know how to balance studies and partying.

Rules About Prohibited Things

Some of the harshest punishments at Eckerd are for people who have pets in non-pet dorms. The fines can be very harsh for this. We are also not allowed to play beer pong in any of the dorms, but people still get away with it. Overall, if you're smart, you most likely will not get caught.
