Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The general consensus among students is that Rollins has a way of growing on you. Most students who are skeptical about whether they made the right choice or not by attending Rollins realize after a semester or so that they wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. Rollins seems like another world, and the lifestyle at Rollins is far from realistic, as it can be very hard to grow used to. Perhaps it is difficult because everyone seems to be the same and everyone appears to be rich and to wear designer clothes. After a while, students learn to love the "country club" vibe that Rollins gives off, and they appreciate the beautiful campus and beautiful people. Rollins is such a small school, and some students consider its size a good thing, while others find it one of Rollins’s flaws. For academics, its small size is ideal. Students receive much more attention from professors and far more one-on-one help than they would at a larger university. Socially, Rollins being small is a bad thing. After a year at Rollins, everyone knows everyone, and gossip is hard to escape. At a school like Rollins, students really have to watch what they do and never make a mistake because gossip spreads like wildfire.

Rollins has a good reputation in the South, and it provides students with a great education. Not only do the connections you make at Rollins help you in the future, but they last a lifetime. Rollins provides students with wonderful opportunities and experiences. If you are looking for a small liberal arts school located on the water with interesting classes and brilliant professors, then Rollins is the perfect match.

Off-Campus Dining at Rollins College

Pricey!

The off-campus dining options within a one mile radius of Rollins College are delicious but will break the bank. My favorite restaurant is Park Plaza Gardens, but with a $12-$18 lunch menu, this is reserved for special occasions.

Could Not Be Safer

The Rollins College campus is state of the art and the security is likewise. I have never felt in danger, even with taking night classes and having to walk in the dark to my car. The emergency phones are made easily visible with blue lights and they are never more than an eye shot away.

Kind of like a bubble

Sometimes it's really easy to get caught up in Rollins and forget about the rest of the world. You don't really notice anything strange about Rollins until you visit other schools events. Everyone at Rollins is pretty much the same but it does ensure that everyone gets along with each other and no one feels left out. Going here feels like being part of a large family.
