Florida Gulf Coast University

I love the music program here ❤️ the Professors are amazing and all the students are excited about learning. The smaller school environment allows you more opportunities ❤️. I just wanted to leave a positive review because when I was looking into the music program I couldn't find too many reviews.

Moved in freshmen son this weekend and have been there for two other events this year. This university is always so well organized and student centered with so many helpful staff and students and a sense of community. Hoping freshmen year will prove our institution right.

FGCU has a beautiful nature-filled campus with a strong focus on sustainability. The Dunk City Eagles add a fun spirited vibe. Excellent facilities for most sports. Tennis, Sand volleyball, basketball,football,aquatics, etc Known for its small class sizes and hands on learning, it provides a supportive environment.

Modern, well-equipped, seems to live in harmony and balanced with natural environment. Food was a bit over-sold by our orientation guides, I'll be a FGCU parent in fall 2025, so moving my son into the residence hall in August. Excellent recreational athletics facility!

Gorgeous campus. However unless your a freshman living in sovi there are pretty much no offered benefits. The school puts more budget into incoming freshman than all the rest of your years combined. The teachers in physics and science dept. are impossibly hard. Can’t get a lot of the classes to graduate in 4 years. Most people here aren’t super friendly and it’s hard to make long term friends unless in a sorority/frat. The staff are mostly lazy and rude. Most everything that has hours opens 30mins late and closes an hour before closing time. There are so many pools and a lake but you can’t use any of these if there is any sort of inclimate weather or between 12-5pm. West lake is the best for living aka least dumb rules.

WOW! I went there for the first time today and it was very clean, safe, organized, beautiful view with palm trees. I loved the Eagle next on the very top! So original and in tune! 😊 All buildings are huge, friendly environment. Up to date technology! I mean, I was psyched! I am thrilled to be part of the student body! Very proud to be a new Eagle! Great opportunities. Everyone has a chance at success.

HONEST REVIEW! I was enrolled in a Masters in Accounting and Taxation program at FGCU. They DO NOT have the capacity to handle the amount of students they have!!! For the program they only offer ONE of each class ONCE a year. This results in the program taking much longer, or IMPOSSIBLE to complete. They ALSO only allow 20-30 students in each of these classes that are only offered once a year. AND THE CLASSES ARE ONLINE!!! I unfortunately did not enroll right away and was told “apply for the wait list and better luck next time”. Every class I need to take this semester has a waitlist of 5-10 people at minimum. They cannot handle the amount of students they have and would rather tell them to kick rocks then to help their “students” succeed. Now, I’ve got a half way completed degree and I’m stuck looking for a new college. THANKS FGCU, YOU SUCK.

Alright, let’s talk about Florida Gulf Coast University – the young, scrappy upstart of higher education that’s already soaring high enough to make Zeus himself consider a transfer. This place is like a modern-day Athens, minus the togas and the amphoras, but full of thinkers, coders, and visionaries shaping the future. Clubs? They’ve got ‘em. Whether you’re philosophizing over a cup of ethically sourced coffee or building the next AI revolution, there’s a place for you. The Philosophy department? World-class. The Software Engineering program? So sharp, it could probably hack Jarvis (or make their own). Opportunity here is as plentiful as sunshine in the Sunshine State – you just have to be bold enough to reach out and grab it. I never had a problem finding someone to guide me, push me, or answer my questions. Whether it’s a professor, mentor, or fellow Eagle, you’ll always have a wingman. So, if you’re looking for a place that builds minds, fosters innovation, and backs you up like a flock of eagles when you need it, FGCU is the nest to protect. Soar high, stay sharp, and remember – eagles fly together. 🦅💥🎓

Beautiful campus! We came for a college tour visit and had a great experience! Our tour guide was wonderful, answered millions of questions, took her time, and was very thorough. The tour helped is to make a decision.

This school suppresses the Christian beliefs. They would not let the student body get together to host a vigil for someone of faith who was killed. They promote a super liberal agenda.
