The years I spent at Eckerd were incredible. I had an amazing group of friends, with whom I played a lot of music, went to the beaches, chilled in dorms, and went downtown with. The beaches were a blast (we played lots of soccer games, sunbathing, chilling). I thought the professors were brilliant (always available during office hours, and for general chat - and very alert during class). Not only was class fantastic, but they also wrote me letters of recommendations that got me into a top grad school. They had pitchers with professors when I was there, during which one could drink free beer and chat with their professors. Awesome.

Campus is beautiful. It is not a Rollins campus (I am not inot a Rollins campus at all. Eckerd is more beachy and relaxed). I was greatly inspired when I was there (by professors). The dorms are all very unique (socially), the result being a series of unique communities in campus to go socialize in.

Out of my group of friends (15 of us), we all agreed that this place was just a paradise to learn in. Best years of my life, for sure.

I was assaulted on campus when i lived in kappa. Security caught the criminal with the weapon he used on his way back to his dorm "Brass knuckles" and the school did not kick him out of school, i had to see the guy thereafter ( they did not kick him out of school), i did bad on my first exam because i was so bothered, the school had me sent to a mental hospital for a full month and would not refund me my tuition. Also the school has no tutors for most classes. If this "small school" cared about their students you would think they would have checked up on me after all that and no they didn't. This school has no police on campus and does not call the police in even serous or life threatning situations. the school is pretty but their expectations are unrealistic, and no substantial discoveries or research go on there. my advice is go to a good state school get tutors so you can learn and do well on exams and your performance is comparable to hundreds of others at the same school, at a state school if you got what it takes and ask for the help you need you will shine through, after i transfered i went 2 years with nothing but A' s from the university most refrenced by NPR ever. But if you are a 6 foot 5 dredlocked red head or a set of jamacian identical twins by all means donate your time and money to eckerd college i am sure eckerd will make sure you get your degree from them.

Awful college.
Mentors offer bad advice, and faculty members do not respond to e-mails or phone calls and can rarely be found during office hours.
I only transferred because I was offered a scholarship. Unless you are offered a FULL scholarship - go elsewhere.
Students are strange - lots of acid spreads around the school. I love hippies, but these kids are rich wannabe hippies from Mass.

I graduated from Eckerd College in 2007 with a BA in political science. I had such a wonderful experience at Eckerd. The political science, pre-law, and international relations faculty members are amazing (they know students by name and make a true effort to help students learn and grow). Even though I graduated from Eckerd three years ago, my professors still remember me, and are still willing to provide me with letters of recommendation. I enjoyed my experience at Eckerd and would definitely go back if I could.
