  Great for these types of students	This school is great for any student that wants to go to school for ministry or any student that wants a Christian education. This school is also great for anyone that wants a family-like environment and does not want to go to school in a big city. It is perfect for any student that wants to get away from home, but still wants to feel at home while going to school.
  Tips for prospective students	Some good tips for prospective students would be to pray about coming here, seeing as this school is very ministry oriented. If you plan on coming to school, apply for as many scholarships as you can and look for a job. Prospective students should also consider coming to preview day, because during this time, the college showcases everything it has, the dorms, the music and worship division, all of its degree programs, and so much more. It also would not hurt for the prospective student to consider scheduling a personal tour of the school.
  Bang for the buck	This school is one of the cheaper private schools, being only six grand a semester. Since it is in a small town, the living expenses are cheaper. Off campus living is really nice, but it can get expensive if you are not careful with money. Tuition is expensive, but that will be a problem with paying for any school. On campus living is nice, when you take into account what you are paying for and what you get.
  Am enjoying being here	I am enjoying being here without a doubt. Even though I did not want to come at first, I learned to love it at The Baptist College of Florida. I am enjoying being here because the people are great, the professors are teaching me a lot, and because the chapel sermons are among the best I have heard. The chapel services are not that bad either. I am also enjoying being here because the dorms are nice and because the food here is good as well.
  Am learning a lot	I am learning so much here at this school. I am learning a lot at this school because I am learning that being on my own is not easy, that God is always there when you need him and that he exists in every situation, and that being a music teaches me so much. I am learning that being on my own is not easy, but when I make it a point to keep God in my life, I always make it through the most difficult of situations. I am learning that God is always here if I need him and that he exists in every situation because when my friends move away, he does not leave; when everything else around me changes, he does not. Being a music student here is teaching me a lot because I am learning being disciplined is important for my success, that music theory helps me when it comes to learning new music, and that Music is the best way to help people, because so many people will tune out a preacher in church, but they will not tune out music.

  Campus Safety	Security on campus is wonderful. They even check off campus housing where they know some of the students live. They're not required to check these areas but they do.
  Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	We have a lake on campus and there is a saying if you walk around it three times with someone, you will marry them.
  What to do for fun	There is a drug store that sells old fashion milkshakes that are to die for. There is a playground that you'll see students at a lot more than you realize. Dothan, AL is close by and Panama City Beach is just over an hour away.
  Food and Dining	The cafeteria is wonderful. The lines are never too long, except on Midnight Breakfast nights. You always have the coffee shop that has a great deli and icecream.
  Dorm Life	You will make friends in the dorm. You will do dorm activities together and have meetings periodically. This allows for any issue(s) to be discussed.
  Academic Rigor	Professors are dedicated to helping students. One on one help is always available. Most of the professors have an open door policy. BCF is a home away from home campus.
  Tips for prospective students	Always ask older students about what professors to take together, or not to take together. Make sure you realize WalMart is fifteen minutes away. Don't worry about not making friends, everyone knows everyone here.
  In three sentences	This school is a wonderful Christian campus. You will enjoy the relationships between fellow classmates, professors and campus staff. There is never a stranger here.

  Campus Safety	BCF is in the heart of a small town and safety is not something you have to worry about here! We even have campus security that is available 24/7.
  Greek Life	We are a small Christian college so we don't any Greek life on campus.
  Clubs and Activities	We have different ministries on campus and we have intramural sports that you can get involved in.
  Great for these types of students	Students who are sound in their faith and want to grow in Christ are good candidates for BCF. Even those who have no knowledge of faith and want to know can come to BCF. We are a non-denominational school.
  Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus	We have a lake here BCF called Lake Albert. Legend says that if you walk around the lake holding hands with a person you are interested in, you are bound to be married or engaged before you graduate!
  Bang for the buck	The Baptist College of Florida (BCF) has been everything I wanted to experience in college. It's not just a college where you go to get a degree. BCF has been a place where I have met some of my best friends. I have the most fun experiences here. Most importantly, I have been able to grow a deeper relationship with the Lord as I study at a Christian college. Even the professors here have made my experience at BCF one of my best. The professors care that you learn the material and apply to your life. They also care for you as person as they build relationships with the students. I would not change my college for the most prestige school in the nation!
  What to do for fun	There are many different intramural sports throughout the year that you can get involved. Different sports from volley, basketball, soccer, fencing, softball, dodge ball and kick ball to flag football. We even have a student center with pool tables and ping pong tables!
  Food and Dining	The food and dining at the Baptist College of Florida is very exquisite. The cafeteria serves a lot of our favorite meals!
  Dorm Life	The dorm life is amazing. Right away you meet your dorm mates and build friendships that could last a lifetime. Not too strict. It's like you are living on your own with a very cool land lord!
  Academic Rigor	Classes here are very vital to what ever field you go into after college. You get hands on experience as you go through college! Classes are vital as I said, yet not too difficult for you to graduate with good grades.
  Tips for prospective students	If you want to study in a nice, loving environment, then come to The Baptist College of Florida. No worries about having the best grades or the most impressive references.
  In three sentences	The Baptist College Of Florida has been my ideal college experience. I have had the opportunity to study with other believers in Christ. I would rate my college a 10 out of 10.
