it's small enough to do well and has all majors.

The thing that i find unique about Florida Gulf Coast University is its learning environment. Most of the classes have small student counts which help for a better learning experience simply because it can give a student more one on one action with the professor. Another little thing that i find unique about Florida Gulf Coast is that the university is very environmentally friendly and very conservative when it comes to environmental issues.

What's unique about my school is that its located right next the Everglades which means that were surrounded by woods and get visited by different animals. Its also unique because our buildings are solar powered.

I think our college is unique because walking down the hallways, you will see so many students who are wearing Florida Gulf Coast University shirts, sweaters, hats, notebooks, backpacks, and everything you can think of with our school's logo. It makes me so glad to see that so many people have great school spirit and that we are supporting each other. Maybe some people never get to have that feeling of being at home when they are actually at home with their own families, but being at our college makes everyone feel like we all care about each other.

It is practicing green values. For example, The school built a solar panal area in front of the school so we can conserve power and use the sun as a primary resource for energy. FGCU also requires students to take a Colloquium course in which students are introduced to the outdoors and nature of Florida.

The school is very focused on preseving the various wetlands surrounding the campus. This school also constantly encourages students to become involved in extra circular activities.

It is very close to the beach, very green friendly too! I also love how all of the campus housing is very close to school and anything else you could need is close too.

To me, a school needs to be a very charming place. It needs to be a place to get comfortable and relate with the surroundings. For many, the best way to be community-like is to go to a private school. For me, private tuition was not an option. So, I had to find a place, small enough and personable enough that I could truly get to know everyone and everything around me. That is what I love about FGCU. It is small enough that everyone knows your name and even the teachers know who you are.
Megan
It has the benefits of a small private school with the price of a state school. It is in a very nice city, and relatively close to the beach. Anything you could possibly want off campus is very close to campus.
Erin
Most, if not all, of the classes are about 30 students and that lets the students get to better know the teachers and able to get needed help if necessary. I think this sets it apart from other universities because it makes the college experience more personal and I think it sets the student up for success.
