Opportunities Can Be Made

Stetson isn't one of those schools that hands you every opportunity on a silver platter, but the world is your oyster if you're willing to work hard. Spend some time in your teachers' offices, and talk to them about your passions. They will more than likely be glad to help you with your ambitions. Use your resources and do some networking. Dig for opportunities, and be proactive. If you devote the energy, Stetson will be a treasure trove for you. Join some clubs, go to as many events as you can, take advantage of the free food, and do some volunteering. This will prepare you to enter a diverse and globalized world.

Always Something

When you arrive as a freshman, you arrive earlier than all other students on campus. You spend the first few days on campus with a focus group which is a group of about 15 to 20 freshmen guided by two returning students called focus leaders. These people let you come and ask any questions you may have. They will show you around to where your classes will be, explain the best parts of campus and give you all of the insight they know about classes, campus, professors, you name it. The focus days are also filled with ice breaker games and parties that the focus leaders throw you. They really want you to be comfortable and confident before you ever step into a classroom.

Once you have moved past that, there are still plenty of things to do. People attend the intramural sporting events that seem to go all year round. Every Friday night a group called Hatter Productions does a free movie in the Stetson room. There are plays and performances by our school of music as well.
