Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Students have to be open to the help and advice that is offered at FSC; it's easy when the professors' enthusiasim is contagious. The small community holds options for recent graduates to obtain jobs because the area is riddled with alumni who are more than willing to help out an FSC graduate. Although the amount of different social and academic groups may be fewer than what is available in a larger school, students have many more opportunities to hold leadership positions and gain experience through clubs. The smaller size also gives students more opportunities to participate in campus events, such as free Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuits on certain Fridays.

FSC is unique because of the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. A point of pride at the school, the buildings have a sense of prestige because they are all exquisite. The absence of bland, boring buildings makes the environment for learning much more appealing. FSC is distinguished as one of the top 10 most beautiful schools in the nation for a reason.

Weather Chanes Unexpectedly

Mostly it is sunny but it can get cold out out nowhere during the fall. It also sometimes rains out of nowhere and comes as a complete surprise.

Campus Safety

The campus is very safe and secure. You feel comfortable at all times. Security makes numerous rounds around campus every certain amount of time every night. Obviously, keep your doors locked to prevent petty theft and pranks.

Pretty Easy

Mostly you can get into whatever, some degrees (such as theatre BFA require things like auditions) but you generally won't be denied from the major. School admission generally isn't too hard, either and we're accepting more and more students each year.
