- Campus Strictness

Quick Stats

Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Eckerd is a closed campus, which can be both beneficial and inconvenient. Everyone who drives onto campus must pass the security gate at the front entrance. If you’re a student and you have a College permit, they will generally just wave you through, but on the weekends, when things get a little more active, they screen a bit more thoroughly, and there is a police car stationed on campus. Guests can drive onto campus, too, but security will usually make them them fill out a visitors pass, which can delay their arrival a bit.

As far as breaking rules, as long as it is nothing too severe, the case will go through student court, and the rule-breaker will be fined, sentenced with service hours, or other repercussions may be taken. Sometimes, your academic adviser will be notified. Overall, Eckerd is usually pretty fair, but sometimes it just depends on who you’re dealing with. If you get in trouble for anything too wild though, the proper authorities may be called in.

Gated and Secure, but Crazy on the Inside

RA's ask you to please "crack open a window" if you are smoking pot, everyone drinks and brings bottles/cups anywhere they please. Occasionally, overly drunk underagers and campus bike vandalizers get written up, but I never was.

Very "Organic"

This is mainly a science and nature school. There are many students here that walk around barefoot and smoke more than just cigarettes. Some call them the "new age hippies," and in some cases, I would have to agree. There is one dorm that constantly smells of pot. As long as you don't talk to security reeking of pot, you won't get caught. Underage drinking is very common, but you will be caught if you are playing drinking games, and you will be seriously punished.

They Are Pretty Relaxed, Just Don't Cheat

Pledging honesty is a big deal. The school wants you to be empowered and feel obligated to monitor your own behavior and the behavior of others.
