Stetson University

Date: Jan 05 2010
Major: Business - Management and Administration (This Major's Salary over time)
Academics: Teachers are generally very knowledgeable but teach very little and expect a lot from students. Classes are small which is beneficial. Advisors don't do much actual advising/give little direction. Business school is good, I hear music is fantastic. Tutors not very helpful. Library is more of a social scene, not a place to study.

Athletics: Division I sports, but conference is small and not very good. Baseball was once a top team, but no longer performs to that level- the team is full of a bunch of big headed mediocre athletes. Tennis and softball are good. Basketball and soccer are descent-men's soccer won A-Sun this year. Volleyball is miserable. Athletic events are not very big, so if you're into school spirit, Stetson is not for you.

Social Life: Greek life is huge on campus: Fraternities seems descent, I don't recommend joining a sorority-not a single one has a good reputation on campus. There are two junkie, hick bars downtown. Daytona and Orlando are close, but it's still quite a hike. Everyone knows everything about everyone. There is tons of drama on campus; rumors, both true and false, spread like wildfire. It's just like high school and the entire campus is divided into cliques. The only way to survive Stetson socially, is to drink your way through the five years there.

Campus: Workout facilities are terrible, I needed my own gym membership off campus. People on campus have no respect for facilities- cleaning people should not have to clean up such a mess. Very small campus. Dorms are very old and need to be renovated. Everyone lives on campus which is nice. Baseball field is beautiful- clearly where all the money goes. Gym facilities need to be renovated. Pretty campus, but needs to be redone, it's too old.

I am from the Northeast and was looking to escape the cold weather while receiving my degree. Yes, Stetson is in "sunny" florida, but this is not the place to go to escape the snow. The weather can be nice, but DeLand gets a lot colder than most of Florida. Go further South!
