Need Opinions on Florida Southern

Hey guys, I've got Florida Southern on my short list but I've been hearing mixed reviews about it. Can anyone give me their personal experience or unbiased thoughts on the college?

Sure! When it comes to any college, experiences and perceptions differ from one person to the next. However, some aspects of Florida Southern College are consistently noted.

Firstly, the college is well-known for its small class sizes and strong student-faculty relationships. With a student to faculty ratio of about 14:1, you can look forward to personalized attention and the chance to develop close working relationships with your professors. This can be particularly beneficial when it comes to seeking mentorship and opportunities such as internships.

Secondly, Florida Southern offers a wide array of majors, and some of the most praised ones include business, music management, and nursing. They also have a robust pre-professional program for areas like law, medicine, and dentistry.

The campus is a slice of architectural history, hailed as the largest one-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world. It's situated near downtown Lakeland, giving you a combination of campus life and city interaction within a small community.

On the downside, some students have commented on a lack of diversity and some dissatisfaction with the quality of the residence halls.

Keep in mind that college fit is highly individual. What works for one person may not work for another. It's always a good idea to visit colleges in-person or virtually, speak with current students or alumni, and ask specific questions about your concerns before making a decision.
