Almost None

We don't have much in the way of inter-collegiate athletics except for flag football, and we only play the art school down the road. We have a variety of inter-murals and some other options. Plus if there is something you want to do its easy to start it up yourself.

Network Reliability and Speed

Three weeks before Fall exams, the internet was intermittent for about four days straight, and nothing seemed to fix it. IT was horribly unhelpful and unfriendly. Students found themselves forced off campus to do work. This is a running theme at New College. The network has frequent outages, usually limited to the dorm wireless, but sometimes including the wired connections. The Pei dorms have terrible wireless connectivity, although this is usually remedied by buying a really long ethernet cord.

Campus Dining at New College of Florida

Pretty Awful

Although they try to provide vegan/vegetarian options and pretend to cater to student desires - campus dining is usually fairly gross, unhealthy, and extremely repetitive. Unfortunately, first years are stuck with a big meal plan and only one dorm complex even offers a real kitchen. Students have to use illegal hot plates to get by.
