My first stop today is Rollins College, just outside of
Orlando. Situated on the shores of Lake
Virginia, a relaxing feel awaits students, but Orlando offers incredible
opportunities for internships with Fortune 500 companies, for fun in the
amusement park world, and for professional sports and artistic entertainment. This small liberal arts college boasts a
student population right at 1950. The
small class size, at just 17 students, makes it very easy to get to know your
professors, where they handle 100% of the teaching duties (no Graduate Teachers
Assistants). Professors take a special
intention in helping students to learn and focus on the development of “who the
student wants to be in the world.” For
23 consecutive years, Rollins has been named by US News and World Reports as
being in the top two regional universities in the South. The quality of this college is undeniable.
Rollins College is
the oldest residential private liberal arts college in the State of Florida,
opening its doors in 1885. Among famous
alumni, no other carries the same notoriety as Fred Rogers- Mr. Rogers to all
the moms and dads. His ideals are
reflective of what Rollins College’s mission is- to create students who are
idealistically entrepreneurial. Students
who long to change their part of the world and have the personal willingness to
step beyond their personal bounds will find a great home at Rollins. As a Division II NCAA school, a wide variety
of sports are available to student athletes.
As with many other colleges, travel abroad programs are encouraged, and
75% of students participate in the fantastic variety opportunities.

A college like Rollins, with its rich opportunities that

can greatly reduce the expense of attendance.
