  This school will try to get as much money from their students as possible. It is definitely not worth the massive tuition they require. The education is good depending on your major. But i don't think it's worth the price by any means.

  Visted this sunny college for my daughter's college search a few years ago. Lovely beachside location plus friendly and laid-back staff/student body.
  So relieved to hear it got very little damage from Irma.

  Great choice if you're seriously interested in science or any kind of environmental studies. Very beautiful campus with huge trees, a private beach and marina, and pretty much perfect weather.

  A great place to not get judged for walking around with a beer at 11am. Very wet campus, gorgeous overall.

  Graduated and met my wife at Eckerd, class of 06'. Great liberal arts education in paradise. Anyone who complains about that doesn't get it. Would you prefer a technical institute in Buffalo? Side note- nothing against Buffalo or technical institutes, it's clearly a privilege to 1. Study liberal arts. 2. Go to a school that has its own private beach. USA

  If you are looking for a small liberal arts college that is focused on the whole student, this is the place. With a goal of having 100% of the freshman class taking a semester abroad and a faculty mentor assigned before the start of the regular fall semester are some of what make this college more unique and a great choice.
  
  This is a 4:1:4 program where students have an opportunity to do research starting their freshman year. The atmosphere is relaxed and geared for learning and reflection. Lots of beautiful green spaces and beach area along the waterfront to congregate and study. All faculty and staff focus on hands-on and individual approach to student learning and development. With less than 1900 students, there is a sense of deeper relationships and community.
  
  As a mom of a prospective student, I was impressed by the high touch approach and the emphasis on developing the whole students into thriving adults.
  
  I also love that all classes are taught by professors not TAs or grad students. It helps knowing that facility is engaged and has an open door policy. I inquired with current students on this as well. They mentioned it was one of the things they love most. I have gone to both public and private school tours and it's clear to me the relationships of students with faculty are not the same when faculty "phone it in.." with their classes. FWIW
  
  P.S. Also impressive: Admissions staff and Financial Aid. They were generous with their time and their information.
