Overall ExperienceWhat'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.

Readily Available but Packed During Finals

There are always alot of computers available unless its exam week, then they tend to be pretty busy. The printing can sometimes be an issue as often times they are out of service. Rollins is pretty lazy about fixing them in a timely manner.

House Parties and Club

House parties and clubs are a big part of Rollins life. There is always a house party going on somewhere if you know where to look. Also the club scene is big tuesday and thursday nights. The bar scene at Fids is pretty chill and close to campus. Park ave pizza is always going on and you can get pitchers there for you and your friends. Park ave is also full of restaurants. Also be sure to check out the wakeboard club, they know whats up.
