Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

 

While its image, rigor, and philosophy don’t always reflect it, New College of Florida is a public school. This means that the bulk of its funding comes from the taxpayers. This provides students with an affordable education, but it affects some of the aesthetic aspects of the school. Most agree, however, that the trade-off is worth it. Others still yearn for the red bricks and ivy of peer institutions.

 

The west side of campus is situated on the picturesque Sarasota Bay, where students enjoy watching the sunset. Because the school used to be the Honors College of the nearby University of South Florida, the library facilities are more than appropriate. While New College is devoid of some of the luxuries of larger and private schools, it provides students with all of the necessities. What doesn’t receive direct funding can be subsidized by the Student Allocations Committee. The Athletic Reserve Committee does the same thing for sports-related purchases. On the downside, there’s no bowling alley, movie theater, or football stadium, and the fitness center has outdated equipment. Televisions don’t get reception, and cable isn’t even offered, but this is part of the experience. Without these diversions, students are able to connect with each other. Besides, many Novo Collegians consider nights at the library to be a good time.

The athletic center is not very large but probably sufficient to meet the student body's needs. The student center is very reminiscent of a summer camp activity room, giving it a mysterious charm. The library is pretty terrific considering our size - in my experience, a hardcover edition of any reference I've been interested in has been available, and the e-journal databases are near complete. I think their staff could've been picked at a higher standard. The architecture is notably uninspired.

Not Too Shabby

Though we are a small school, I feel that there are adequate facilities. The new Academic Center is great, and LEED certified! I just wish some of the dorms were as nice as other facilities.
