Why I Chose Rollins: From the start, I knew I wanted to go to a school that developed my interpersonal relationships rather than a simple “listen, learn, and go back to your room” mentality. I love hands-on work and working through challenges no matter how difficult they might seem at first. After touring the school and seeing some of those interactions, it was solidified for me.

Why I Chose Rollins: Despite my initial plan to move out of Florida for college, Rollins diverted me in the best possible way. The gorgeous architecture, welcoming environment, and incredibly promising study abroad programs called out to me in a way that the other schools I had toured had not. My choice to attend Rollins has already rewarded me with amazing people and experiences, so much so that I'm willing to endure the Florida heat.

Why I Chose Rollins: The small class sizes and personalized approach to education is what attracted me to Rollins. Being able to make lasting and meaningful connections with professors was an opportunity I could not find at many other larger schools.

In addition, with campus in the middle of Winter Park and having easy access to downtown Orlando allows for many great opportunities and experiences.
