    Will enjoy being here

    Southeastern has a Beautiful campus, a cafeteria that looks like a restaurant, and dorms that are new and gorgeous! All rooms have room cleaning service for free. Laundry is also free.
    Everyone I met was friendly and eager to help. The students were cheerful and nice. It was one of the most welcoming schools I have visited. It had a pleasant Christian Atmosphere and felt safe and home-like. The campus is a beautiful area surrounded by lakes and huge oak trees and fountains. Southeastern is planning to build a new Preforming arts center and Library to math the Mediterranean style of their new buildings.
    Bang for the buck

    It's a little pricey but it seems worth it.
    Tips for prospective students

    Definitely visit the college if you can!

    I immediately felt at home here.

    Am learning a lot

    I truly enjoy going to class everyday; the professors use many tools for teaching and are very helpful if you do not understand something. They definitely don't just throw up a PowerPoint presentation and read from it word for word.
    Am enjoying being here

    There are hundreds, literally hundreds of opportunities to get involved here. They have programs and clubs for pretty much anyone and it is so easy to connect.
    Bang for the buck

    The school is really expensive, but I think the quality of the education is worth the cost. Your not going to get the interaction and one on one time with other schools like you can here.
    Tips for prospective students

    You should absolutely go to preview days if you have the opportunity. It is a great chance to stay on campus and experience what life is like at Southeastern. Its a beautiful environment and the people are warm and friendly.
    Great for these types of students

    This is a great school for students who really want to learn and learn in a Christ-centered environment. The teachers will go out of their way to help you understand the material and they bring Christian-views into the curriculum in a unique way that is not overbearing nor discrediting to our maker.

    Am learning a lot

    Each class a student takes at Southeastern is designed to cater to all the learning styles so no student is left in the dark.
    Am enjoying being here

    The environment and student activities make this university a great place to live and learn.
    Bang for the buck

    The price of tuition is well worth the education one receives.
    Tips for prospective students

    Make sure you double check where all your paperwork is being sent. There are a lot of different departments and paperwork can get lost in the shuffle so make copies of everything including letters of recommendation.
    Great for these types of students

    Students who want to go to a school that offers Christian values will feel right at home.

    Christ-centered at heart, Southeastern University truely lives out what it preaches. Offering outlets in sports, academic clubs, and community service organizations: our influence goes beyond the campus. Through our mission of being salt to the earth, Southeastern helps you grow academically as well as spiritually.
    Tips for prospective students

    Come in with an open mind and an open heart. You reap what you sow. So if you invest in friendships or whatever you set your mind to, you will succeed.
    Academic Rigor

    Students are definately challenged here at SEU. With professors who have actual real world expirience in their fields, learning goes beyond the classroom. I promise you will be well equipped when graduation rolls around the corner.
    Dorm Life

    Dorms are magnificient. With a variety of living decisions, buildings with inspirational meanings, like esperanza (Hope) ,and breathetaking landscape, Southeastern University is in prestine condition. All it's missing is you.
    Food and Dining

    Chartwell's is the name of Southeastern's cafeteria. Offering a buffet style dining experience, any picky eater will be satisfied. Other food services such as Mi Casa Cafe, a student can never go hungry!
    What to do for fun

    Lakeland is full of interesting eats and gorgeous scenery. I highly reccomend down town Lakeland for a fun afternoon. On the plus side we are only 45 minutes from the beach and an hour from Disney!
    Bang for the buck

    Being a private school, Southeastern may be a bit pricey. However, many scholarships are offered as well as financial aid. It is definately worth every penny.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Southeastern has awesome events such as concerts and parties. This May we are even being visited by Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos! Always be on the lookout for exciting events!
    Great for these types of students

    Southeastern is great for all types of students reguardless of walks of life. Diversity is welcome and encouraged. Plus students are encouraged to travel to countries worldwide.
    Clubs and Activities

    Clubs are numerous and encouraged at Southeastern. There is no better way to get plugged in. No selectivity, all are welcome.
    Greek Life

    There is no Greek life per say. We do however offer many clubs that are open to everyone. Come as you are!
    Campus Safety

    At Southeastern University we have constant 24 hour suveilance. With video cameras monitering the surroundings, and security staff always on hand. I promise you Southeastern is safe.

    Southeastern University is an enriching atmosphere, they focus on the person as a whole, not just one aspect. The professors who work there, are there only because they love young people and want to see them succeed. There is something there for everyone!
    Tips for prospective students

    Go with an open mind and do not let the price tag discourage you. You only go to college once, One wants to learn and have a great experience, Southeastern definitely delivers on that.
    Academic Rigor

    Every class you are humbled, realizing you do not know everything.
    Dorm Life

    Best experience ever, rules are set up, but the R.A's allow you to have plenty of fun without imposing their power.
    Food and Dining

    Cafeteria food is cafeteria food, you will always grow tiresome. However, compared to most schools the food is top notch, and you have no worry of gaining the infamous freshman fifth-teen.
    What to do for fun

    Southeastern always puts on events, from black and white dances to sand volleyball tournaments. If you do decide you need to be off campus, you have to get creative. However, bigger cities like Tampa and Orlando are under an hour away.

    Southeastern is very Christ-centered and is one of the most loving, serving, family-like communities I have ever been in. The teachers and staff are all willing to help students and build bonds with them that foster success. You'll learn a lot at this school because they are focused on academic excellence and character development.
    Tips for prospective students

    Visit the school! it is so beautiful that you will definitely fall in love. Also, talk to some of the teachers in your prospective major; they always make the time for people and they love talking about their programs. Also, visit on a open house day because they have many options that will show you what it's like to be on campus; you can attend classes, eat in our top-of-the-line restaurant, and even stay in a dorm with current students.
    Academic Rigor

    I was a Psychology major, and I speak very highly of that program. They really teach you what you need to know, and they challenge students through assignments and critical thinking. However, though they expect a lot, they are always available to assist students.
    Dorm Life

    We have a great living set up. You can live in a hall, in a 8-man suite, in a 4-man suite, or in a campus house. The dorms have cleaning services, access to washers and dyers, and are fairly spacious. the dorms also have community areas called living rooms for hanging out in large groups, there's a sand volleyball court, hammocks, and cemented fire pits for entertainment purposes.
    Food and Dining

    Southeastern serves great food for a school cafeteria. It looks like a really classy restaurant, and they really take care of the students. There is also 2 cafes on campus that also serve great food and drinks.
    What to do for fun

    Southeastern puts on a lot of events: dance showcases, improv, concerts, game nights, worship nights, ect. We also have a large intermeural field where people play flag football, soccer, and frisbee. There is a sand vollyball court, a gym for basketball and volleyball, and a weight room. Our campus just put in cemented fire pits and hammocks for leisure. Around town there is the mall, lots of makes and parks, and a nice movie theatre. It's also about 45 minutes from Orlando and Tampa, so a lot of students make trips there.
    Bang for the buck

    Our campus is beautiful! Also, they do chapel services every week that are modern and inventive which is a nice atmosphere.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    We have a fountain that has Jesus washing a disciple's feet at the center, and our school really embodies that concept. We place a lot of focus on serving.
    Great for these types of students

    Southeastern is especially a good school for musicians and athletes. i played soccer at the school, and our athletic programs are excellent for building up excellent athletes with solid character.
    Clubs and Activities

    Our school has a huge assortment of clubs, and they all recruit at a big kick off event called club rush. Clubs range from academic, to volunteer, to political, to athletic in focus. There is something for just about every need or desire.
    Campus Safety

    Southeastern is completely fenced in except for 3 entrances which are monitored for safety purposes. We have an emergency text alert system and security personnel are always available by phone of in person.

    Being at Southeastern is such an amazing experience. I have made great friends and the faculty/staff are so encouraging and supportive. The atmosphere here is like no other and I am excited for the next two years of my college career.
    Tips for prospective students

    Do not wait until the last minute to check the school out. We have preview days just for prospective students and they are a blast. You get to tour the campus, eat at Tuscana Restorante for free, and enjoy a huge campus wide event that night. Also we have preview day hosts who will house you for the night in their dorm if you have traveled far.
    Academic Rigor

    The classes that I have taken so far are amazing. The professors really have a passion for what they teach. You do have to put in your fair share of work to make the grade.
    Dorm Life

    I love dorm life. You have many options of where and how you want to live, from sharing a home with four other people to being in a single room by yourself. The freshman dorms are great to. They have a community aspect to them.
    Food and Dining

    The food is great and getting better. The cafeteria is set up like an all-you-can-eat buffet and you have tons of items to choose from. At times it can be hit or miss but for the most part, it is very satisfying. Also on campus, we have a small cafe called Mi Casa where you can buy snacks and drinks or order from the grill station a fresh cooked meal.
    What to do for fun

    There are lots of activities to do on campus and many clubs and organizations to get involved with. We are all about community, so we are constantly putting together events for students to enjoy themselves.
    Bang for the buck

    One thing about being at a private collage is that it can be pretty expensive. It does take a lot of work searching for scholarships and other aid to continue my education.
    Great for these types of students

    If you love the arts, then you will love Southeastern's Communication and Music departments. We always put on spectacular performances.
    Campus Safety

    We have security guards all across campus 24/7. I feel extremely safe here, even at night.

    SouthEastern University is an excellent University. It has many welcoming, friendly people, sincere Christians, caring teachers, and a beautiful campus. SouthEastern also is a lot of fun with many events going on all the time and opportunities to meet people.
    Tips for prospective students

    SouthEastern has a great social atmosphere with a lot of fun and temptation when you have to study. But it also has great teachers who will make classes like English or math, meaningful and spiritually uplifting. Sometimes the room checks, ladies cleaning your rooms you have to work around, and only select open dorm times can be tedious...but I think if you go here you will find it worth it. Also, it can be financially overwhelming.
    Academic Rigor

    The amount of mercy and wiggle room you will have in your classes all depends on your teacher. Most of my teachers have really challanged me, some have completely changed my life, and others I learned very little in their class because I didn't really need to. Some teachers care if your late, others don't. Some teacher's accept late work, others grade harshly and don't accept late work. All of my science classes and English class have kept me really engaged and helped me to learn a lot. Those were my most demanding classes.
    Dorm Life

    You have many options of where to live. You can live in the apartment like buildings without kitchens, South Pointe and Valencia, or Buttercup, and you have a lot of privacy there and quiet. Bethany and Bauer are very friendly dorms with a lot of community, lots of fun, it's noisy, and you have community bathrooms. Aventura, Esperanza, and Destino are the perfect inbetween of those two dorms.
    Food and Dining

    Depends on what day. Our cafeteria is also open to the public as a resturant and lots of the elderly come. We have great desserts, terrible fruit, and good food with many options. It all depends on what day.
    What to do for fun

    Tons of events all the time that are usually free. Movies. close to downtown Lakeland and lots of stores.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    lots of people go wooooop wooop instead of clapping and clap for people when they drop stuff in the cafeteria.

    Tips for prospective students

    Dorm Life

    i'm and online student and i've only spent one night there, on preview visit, but based on that one night (which is not a whole lot) it's pretty good.
    Food and Dining

    during my preview stay i ate there and the food was amazing!!
    What to do for fun

    there are always events going on around campus that are really fun. tim tebow just visited for a dinner recently.
    Bang for the buck

    it is expensive as it is a private school. but online classes are cheaper and they still give the same rigor as traditional classes. but either way it is worth the cost.
    Campus Safety

    there are always alerts going out about things happening not only on campus but also in the surrounding area so the students are up to date and safe.

    Academic Rigor

    most programs here expect a lot out of the students but i don't think it's too much. the professors here push the students to be the best they can be and perform to the best of their ability.
    Dorm Life

    the dorm life here is great. i live in a room with one roommate and i share a bathroom with another room. it is the most spacious dorm i've ever been in and there is plenty of room for each roommate. each hall has a resident assistant that holds meetings a few times every semester. it is fun living here too because the ra's hold events for the students to attend and get to know each other.
    Food and Dining

    the food is ok here. on campus, there is a restuarant, a cafe, and a starbucks. the cafe has two parts- one part is set up like a convenience store with snacks, drinks, frozen food and treats. the second part is almost like a grill where the food is prepared for you. the restaurant has good food with six different stations including pizza, sandwiches, ethnic, and even a dessert station.
    What to do for fun

    for fun, i go to the three dollar movie theater or the outdoor mall. clearwater beach, disney world, universal studios, and epcot are all only an hour away.
