My Campus Is Awesome

Florida Southern has many great resources to provide for it's student body. The wellness center is the main gym and consists of a weight lifintg room, a fitness room where yoga and kick boxing classes take place, and an indoor basketball court. Just out side the wellness center there is a pool for all to enjoy. The wellness center also allows you to rent out bikes if you so chose to take a ride around the lake. Or perhaps you want to rent a kyack to actually go onto the lake. Besides fitness, Fl Southern has mutliple food services to offer. There's of course the main cafe where there is always delicious soft serve, or the under cafe where you can grab a quick bite, smoothie, or something to snack on from the moc mart. Students can also go to the grill master, which is located in the middle of campus, and enjoy a burger while saying hello to a friend passerby. and last but not least, there is tu'tu's. This dining area is the equivalnet to an internet cafe. It is also conviently located adjacently to the library so you can grab a coffe and then begin working on that five page paper. In regardds to academics, a new humanities building has just been finished on Florida Southern. Continuous construction and improvement to the campus makes FSC true to it's motto: "Always on the move." Another thing I enjoy about FSC is the numerous activities on the weekend. If the student government doesn't have anyhthing planned then there's always something to do in the greek village. Other various facilities on FSC include a chapel where people usually play pool or ping-ponng, a recreactional room, and an art gallery to view student and professional art.

Sports Are Okay

The sports here are great, but the school doesn't seem to be that involved with them. There are posters and stuff around campus about them, but unlike in a big college, the students don't seem to be that involved in them.

Not Enough!!!!

There is not enough parking on FSC campus! That is the very worst thing about FSC. Plus it costs $100 to have a car on campus.

Very Available in the Area.

There are many houses in the area for possible college living. Many students choose that route.

Typical

There are not too many public transportation options available in Lakeland, and the need is not urgent on campus. After hours, if you feel unsafe walking around campus, a safety officer will gladly pick you up and drive you to your destination. During the day, the campus is small enough that you can walk to and from classes easily. Around town, there are buses that are reasonably priced, but they do not run long, and the stop locations are inconvenient. For long distances, there are taxi services, but you must call them for service, and they are outrageously priced.

Rather Unsure

I have not experienced the nightlife at my school firsthand. I hear stories of late night parties, and from what I understand there are always humorous stories to be told. My close circle of friends tend to avoid the drunken part of nightlife and hang out late chatting over coffee or just roaming around.

Safe Haven

Florida Southern's security is a definite plus to the school's appeal. The campus itself is in a very safe and scenic part of Lakeland, but Campus Safety is always readily available, regardless of one's situation. They have plenty of security officers roaming the campus at all times, so if you are in need of help, it is assured that one will be very close by.

Almost Non Existant

Drinking is definitely more popular, but I'm not into any of it so I'm not really that sure what is most popular.

Nice Town

Fun things to do around town as long as you have a good group of friends to hang with.

Parking Sucks

I'm a commuter student and I struggle everyday to find a spot. If I do find a spot, God help me if I move from it.

Great Variety

I learn something new each and every day in all of the disciplines I study in.

Very Helpful

Never really had much of a problem. Overall, nice people work there and do a good job.

Ok but Needs Improvement

Live in campus housing for 4 months; you'll see what I mean.

Food Is Not up to Par

I want a real student union. Not the crap we have now.

Greek Life

We need greek houses. LXA and SAE get whatever they want. It's all about money and politics.

Girls

Are stuck up a bit. But they only date you if you belong to a certain fraternity which is pretty stupid.

FSC

Good place to learn, but needs to welcome itself to the next generation of students. Deaf ears to those who want change that most community colleges offer.

Labs Are a Must

And in this school, they dont care. Where are the Macs?

Campus Life

Much like other colleges. Get to meet many new people and make great friends.

Typical Florida School

Mostly dominated by white Christians, the ratio of males to females is fair.

Bro!!!!

The greek life is a majority of the student body. It dominates here especially at a small school like this.

Dude, This Place Is Lame.

It's like an overgrown highschool. I love the people but it's too hammered down.

History in the Making

I love to learn about the past and that's why I'm a history major. The teachers are great but I wish we had a wider varity of classes.

FSC Dining

Some meals are tasteful while others you wonder why you wasted a swipe into the cafe. Overall, it would be nice to see more options.

Lakeland Fl

The town of Lakeland is overall a great place. Local stores are minutes from the college.
