This is a unique school, where academic opportunities are aplenty, and independent study is highly encouraged. Being a small, liberal arts school, student to teacher ratio is very reasonable, and students forge strong bonds with professors. At a student's fourth year of study, he/she is expected to develop a Thesis on one's Area of Concentration, and reach one's full potential.

Excellent at presenting research opportunities to students. This tends to be a rather liberal school. There are no grades; rather, there are extensive narrative evaluations from the professors.

New College is a fun and interesting place. The school is small and the community is close. The classes are fun, interesting, and directed towards your individual learning.

Students are encouraged to personalize their education as much as possible to make it really work for them, and the results are fantastic.

New College is academically rigorous. The professors in all fields are excellent. The housing and food services could be better.

The small campus allows you to quickly meet new people and locate classrooms in an easy manner. The scenery is fantastic - the bay front is a main hangout of mine. Being located a mere ten minutes from downtown Sarasota provides students with a place to escape any stress they might be feeling.

Very close knit. Endless research possibilities. You need drive to truly succeed here.

New College is an institution that will be academically challenging. Everyone is here to help you and there is a sense of community. New College is a safe place for people to be who they want.

NCF is a small, personal college with a great student to teacher ratio. The academics are held to a very high standard, leading to the high attrition rate. The student life is very niche, where what may have been considered abnormal is considered standard.
