Degree: Counseling
My experience at Stetson University was supportive, academically rigorous, and eye opening. While many of the faculty that were present at the beginning of the program had left, which was disappointing, the faculty Stetson brought in maintained a level of professionalism, skill, and support that is necessary in a counseling program. This program continues to be consistent and the small cohorts allow for meaningful instruction and connection.

It is a private university, with its natural pros and cons. Expensive, but manageable; the courses are varied and in-depth, with the school's various facilities all within walking distance. The dorms were decent as was the cafeteria. The school offers various opportunities for scholarships and study abroad programs. All in all, not perfect, but definitely worth going to.

Do NOT attend this university for mathematics. It is clear that the professors have absolutely zero mathematical ability or deeper understanding of mathematics. For senior research, I solved an open problem in mathematics. I was repeatedly told by faculty that my problem I was attempting was impossible. They gave me a C for it believing it was “incorrect�. The same paper got me accepted to Oxford University’s mathematics program and cancer research team. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A STRONG STUDENT!!!... Read More

Tenored professors at Stetson demonstrate an unwillingness to teach the students and pass along the knowledge needed in a real world work environment. The majority of them are lazy in posting grades and make reviewing graded exams extremely difficult, to the point where one eventually gives up.

I attended Stetson School of Music during a time in which many professorial legacies were in full swing. Such a school depends on high quality professors coming and spending their entire career there as high turnover greatly disrupts the work of a small conservatory such as Stetson School of Music. And it really is the music conservatory of the South. The professors I studied one on one with all had multiple decades of teaching and performing experience and never did I take a music class with a teaching... Read More

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience studying music and Spanish at Stetson University. The smaller school environment provided opportunities to connect with professors. The music department had a warm environment, professors were kind, and the education I received was excellent. The music theory classes are thorough, and provide a solid foundation for students desiring to study music at the graduate level, or to study other topics requiring intense analyzation and critical thinking skills.

Stetson's Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science and Geography is one of the best programs in the nation. The University offers a huge range of classes for students to narrow their focus in the field, and they can keep it broad if the student chooses to go that route. Professors have tons of experience in the field and always encourage students to follow their passions. Professors also offer tons of volunteering opportunities for students, to gain valuable experience in the field. Stetson's... Read More

Career Services did almost nothing to help me find a career or even a job after graduating. There was no job placement program. I was left to fend for myself after graduation. I did not hear from Stetson after graduation, except when it was to ask me for a donation! They were more than happy to take my money and give, ultimately, almost nothing in return. I left Stetson almost the same person as when I enrolled. And the kicker? They required I pay a $100 graduation fee just so that I could get my... Read More

The Family Enterprise program offers incredible opportunities to grow personally and professionally while networking with world-class business leaders. Stetson University is a diverse community with ample opportunities for student involvement including Greek life, religious organizations, intramural sports, student organizations, study abroad options and a wide variety of interesting courses.

Stetson is charming, beautiful, and friendly - at first. Beneath it's nice exterior is a cold, money-grubbing campus with a lackluster faculty/student body personality and even worse academics. I transferred to this small private school from a community college hoping to be challenged, but so far I have learned nothing except that I've wasted my money and my time. The advisors are glorified professors who are not properly trained - the registrar, instead, is whom you should speak to about planning... Read More

Stetson University challenged me to be significant during my undergraduate years and post graduate years. I have taken this challenge into my profession as an elementary education teacher. During my undergraduate years I was always surrounded and supported by professors who truly cared for my success. I wouldn't be the strong, confident leader that I am today if I didn't attend Stetson University and for that, I am forever grateful.

Stetson prepared me for the practice of law, but I do wish they had driven home the importance of internships and participation in the journals and other publications more. I realize now how helpful that would have been, but I had no idea back then.

Stetson is an overall fantastic academic institution. The faculty and staff are accessible and mostly interested in your success. While at Stetson, I participated in internships and a study abroad program, both being invaluable learning experiences. My only criticism of Stetson is the high cost - my student loan debt is through the roof, basically another mortgage. There is a real lack of acknowledgement that the school is saddling students with such a burden. Most students think they're going to... Read More

College is the best years of your life. Try not to get enveloped in the course load and all the annoying things you have to do; enjoy every minute and do the things that you want and love to do. Take the courses you need to but take one course a semester that you like or just for fun to see what its like, it will give you a break from your harder classes and will feed your intellectual mind. Join clubs, go out some weekends, do your homework in a public place, get to know your professors, utilize... Read More

Stetson University seemed like an amazing school at first; beautiful campus, nice teachers, lots of organizations but I learned differently within my first few months of attending. Stetson is a private school and most reading materials are overpriced due to the fact that are written by Stetson professors. This also means that hardly any credits would transfer over if you were to leave the school. The prices of tuition goes up by around 5% every year, leaving many people poor as well. It is as if...
