Since I was under the impression that the collegeDec 03 2015Anthropology
Since I was under the impression that the college was a legitimate school with a challenging curriculum and high expectations, I worked very hard to get into the college. I took all of the necessary tests, took AP courses, wrote up a senior paper and project in high school, volunteered, and strove very hard to qualify for scholarships. I did everything right, except chose a good, solid school. I regret that to this day. Heed my warning. Do no attend a satellite or off site school of any university. Do not attend this one. Just cross it right off your list, and move on. Go to University of Miami, Florida State University, Saint Leo University, or University of Central Florida. Those are legitimate universities that will actually be worth something to your future employers.

Acceptance is not selective at all, though the staffNov 04 2015Political Science
Acceptance is not selective at all, though the staff says it is. This is the type of school that admits all students and rather than bragging about the high quality of students, they brag about diversity because it is the one aspect of our student body that is overall a positive thing. Yes there are good students, but the ration of good to poor students is near 5:1 from what I've experienced.

I recommend not going here unless you are majoringOct 23 2015Electrical Engineering
I recommend not going here unless you are majoring in something simple. If you are going to attend for the parties, there really aren't many. Trust me. I lived on campus with some frat boy roommates for 2 years of my time there and even that was not too exciting.
