Stetson University

Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

The overall experience of Stetson University can be described as intimate. The campus itself isn’t big, so of course that has its pros and cons. The pros are the fact that students get to know one another well, and finding and walking to classes is easy. Of course, if it’s a really rainy or hot day, then it can be a hassle. However, with a small campus, students are able to get to know their professors well, which is great. On the downside, if you miss a class, the professor will notice. Some professors here will curve grades based on attendance. Another contributing factor of the overall experience is the small class size. Small class sizes are nice for those who like it, but they correlate with a higher tuition rate. I feel that for every pro, there is a con of some sort. The overall experience will differ for each student. Some move on to other universities; others like it here and stay. It all comes down to whether a student will take the good with the bad. I can say for myself that, since Stetson is always looking to improve, they will listen. Since they will listen, the bad things about Stetson become tolerable and make it a decent school all around. Plus, the location of the University is pretty good since it’s located between Orlando and Daytona Beach. The best advice for anyone interested in attending Stetson is that it’s important to get to know the University a little bit by coming here, doing the tour, and most importantly, talking to the current students. That will make things a heck of a lot easier in deciding whether Stetson is the place for you.
