Eckerd College Top Questions

The student body is very pretentious, and most of the professors do not care.

It's impossible to get any sleep in the dorm rooms on the weekend, because everyone is up blasting music all night.

The worst thing about Eckerd College would have to be the very high tuition. Even with a lot of financial aid assistance, paying tuition and living on campus is extremely steep.

The worst thing about my school would be that as a transfer you get tossed into the middle of everything. Almost like taking a plunge into the center of the school's whole process. Unlike the freshmen that the school works with and eases into college life the transfers are expected to start running even before day one. It can be a shock.

The worst thing about my college is their Financial Aid Department because their staff is inadequate, rude, and do not like to help students.

The food! OMG..enjoy every last bite of home cooked meals that your mom makes for you before you get here. The only palatable foods are the ones that are bad for you.

Some people party too much. It's easy to find people who don't party at all and are share your interests because there's a huge variety of great people, but it's just as easy to find people who are excessive partiers and do almost no studying at all.

The way the kids who attend it act. There is alot of drug use and most of the kids don't consider a night complete unless they're drunk or high.

The tuition is the worst thing about Eckerd. It's incredibly high, and it seems it keeps getting higher. It's hard for me to afford to go, but I always find the extra money somewhere, but I would like it a lot better if the tuition was lowered a bit.
