Florida Gulf Coast University Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about Florida Gulf Coast University? Why?

Mariah

The amount of classes available is the worst thing about Florida Gulf Coast because it is diffuicult to get into classes when you are a lower level year since you pick your classes last. It is very stressful and most of the time you never get the classes you planned on signing up for.

The lack of art courses.

The worst thing about my school is the lack of school spirit. From what I have seen, the people that I have met in my 3 years here love it; they love the students that they work with, the faculty members, and the environment. I am not sure why school spirit is lacking, but I hope that it improves in the following years!

Parking and the amount of partying students do. I feel as if this university is one big high school. Its as if the students never grew up and continue living the same day in and day out lives they lived in high school. The amount of partying at this school is pretty bad but then again I may be biased towards the issue considering I'm a chrisitan!

It is hard to find something that I completely hate or dislike at Florida Gulf Coast University, but if I had to choose one thing it would probably be all the construction that seems to be happening all the time. They are always doing something like building a new parking garage, or adding a new academic building. I know these are good things in the long run, but at the moment they just cause traffic and confusion.

Some of the professors do not really care about their subject, students or both. There are either really good ones or really bad ones no middle ground. I feel that if an instructor truly cares about their subject that passion will be transferred to their students. Attitude is contagious! Also the number of classes that are offered at night are limited making it hard for people with a 9-5 job to get the classes that they need to have hard to complete their degree.

Lauren

The only bad thing about Florida Gulf Coast University, I think, is that there isn't very much around here to do. The surrounding areas have been slowly growing up, and there will be a lot of different things to do around here within the next few years though, so that really isn't anything to worry about. You can always find something to do on campus though, so you will never be bored.

There was one instance that I remember bothering me for a while, actually it still bothers me. A peer of mine spoke out against global warming, he didn't believe that we were the reason that the Earth was warming. So he showed a video to his club members. He got in trouble for showing the video because "it went against what the University believed". They made him look like he was the anti-christ. They are open to different point-of-views, as long as it doesn't contridict there own (sarcasm).

The worst thing about FGCU is that there isn't a huge selection of classes for general education. Not everyone is interested in Ancient European History and History of the Visual Arts II. A bigger and more diverse selection would be much better.
