Why I Chose Rollins: I was a part of the Rollins College Upward Bound program. We had sessions and summer stays on campus and they allowed me to get acclimated to college life while in high school. While in Upward Bound, I made connections with some faculty and staff, so there were preexisting relationships I had on campus. I tell most people that Rollins is my second home, and that's true.

Why I Chose Rollins: I chose to come to Rollins for the beautiful sunny weather, great location and small campus. The academics are great here, and I like how the class sizes are small so the professor can know you personally. I also love that the area is packed with lots of things to do on the weekends and on breaks!

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: 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. Everyone at Rollins wants to help you succeed on your journey, this had a big influence on why I chose to come to Rollins. In addition, with campus in the middle of Winter Park and easy access to downtown Orlando, this allows for many great opportunities and experiences.
