Academics
Stetson, a small private university in the heart of Florida, is “an experience-focused environment that places heavy emphasis on diversity, multiculturalism, and inclusive learning.” Stetson is “all about using the tools that are given to you”; luckily, there are so many resources that Stetson offers that “you can excel in anything you choose.” Small class sizes let personal relationships form and “allows students to be more involved on campus and to have a stronger voice in the classroom.” “Ultimately, [the school] wants us to leave things better than how we found them,” says one student.
The majority of Stetson professors are “very personable and extremely helpful” and act as students’ “biggest cheerleaders.” They “are very willing to meet with people outside of class,” “love to help you find research opportunities or write recommendations if you know them well enough,” and loop students into their work on consulting projects with the Orlando business community, where they can “gain work experience, network, and broaden [their] résumé.” “When someone says ‘Please call/text me if you need anything,’ they actually mean it.” From faculty to students to staff, Hatters will all “truly put down whatever they are working on to help you with a problem.” The staff in particular “does a great job at putting on events for the student body and alleviating stress in any way possible.”
