Eckerd college is expensive, but it is an amazing school. The teachers are all very good and want you to succeed. The environment is great. I mean you can bring your pet! I honestly didn't realize how great it was until I graduated and started attending other schools. The only frustration was with the main offices and the nurse staff on campus.

THE BEST SCHOOL EVER I never want to leave everyone here is so amazing and the professors are professionals... Frank Hamilton actually runs a clinic exactly like one that I would like to be involved with one day. Being here is such a great opportunity and everyone is friendly and open. You will never be judged everyone is so nice!

Eckerd is one of the dreamiest places. I will never get over the nature and wildlife that surrounds Eckerd. Getting to live so close to the ocean and follow my dreams of studying marine science is truly a dream. The staff and students are always so kind and accepting. The professors genuinely care about you and your success. The food is also good!

Eckerd is very laid back. People can go to class bare foot, on a long board and nobody takes a second look. Everyone is very welcoming, inviting and its a great place to get an education.
