Florida Gulf Coast University Top Questions

I really love the small class sizes that this school offers.

FGCU has a clean, beautiful campus with brand new buidings and top-of-the-line technology.

Small class sizes and private dorm rooms

I brag about the fact that my school chooses to be environmentally sustainable, which is in tune with my career goals. The university isn't "landscaped"; it lets the natural landscape around it influence how the campus is layed out. The boardwalk goes right through a natural existing wetland with cypress and interesting native vegetation, so students get to experience a little wildness while walking to class. There is also a "solar farm" to help with powering the school.

i tell prospective students about location, closeness of student body, and general campus life.

FGCU is my dream school, so when I brag about it I go on and on. Of course, being from Chicago, it is only natural to explain the beach on campus, the campus recreation activites every weekend, and the wonderful weather and palm trees that surround me. However, these are just the added benefits. What really caught my eye was the class sizes, the personal attention available from all the professors, and also how new all of the facilities were. It is exciting to be a part of one of the fastest growing schools in the nation too!

I enjoy the small class sizes. That is most important to me. Being able to have conversations with the professors and have them know me by name instead of a random student they have. They are more personable that way and seem to care more.

I tell people that I enjoy the scenery at FGCU. I also tell friends how I enjoy attending a school that isn't quite as large as other universities because it cuts down on traffic and is much less hectic.

The living arrangements and campus.

I brag to my friends about the beauty of my school. Florida gulf Coast University is right on the water. There is also wildlife on campus. The campus is new too. None of the public universities are as nice as FGCU. FGCU is like a private university for less.
