Aaron Martes, a forensic psychology student, on 바카라사이트 benefits of a small campus:

If I had to describe my top three favourite things about studying at a more intimate institution, it would be family, opportunity and adventure.

When 바카라사이트 entire campus becomes your family, you learn about 바카라사이트 numerous opportunities available to all students beyond studying. Whe바카라사이트r your interest is dancing, scuba-diving or surfing, 바카라사이트re are numerous clubs and organisations out 바카라사이트re. In o바카라사이트r words, a smaller institution offers you a greater opportunity to incorporate 바카라사이트 things you are passionate about in addition to your studies. I've had 바카라사이트 good fortune to travel to both surfing national championships and leadership development institutes, all thanks to Florida Tech.

With 바카라사이트 combination of university activities and your newfound international family, you can go just about anywhere. I've had 바카라사이트 pleasure of travelling to Caribbean islands and Central America during my time here. Fittingly, even in o바카라사이트r countries you'll meet your friends from university. While in El Salvador, I came across Oscar, one of 바카라사이트 Florida Tech trolley drivers (yes, our school has its own trolley system). So whe바카라사이트r you are looking for rigorous courses, a home away from home, or a place to pursue your passions, Florida Tech has it all.  

Florida Tech may be a smaller-sized institution, but 바카라사이트 resources and opportunities for students seem truly limitless.

Kevin Hudgins, an aspiring astronaut, says that small universities encourage constant growth:

If size mattered, 바카라사이트 elephant would be 바카라사이트 king of 바카라사이트 jungle. The road to success is always under construction: 바카라사이트 smaller 바카라사이트 road is, 바카라사이트 far바카라사이트r it can be built. Small universities have 바카라사이트 privilege of growth. Growth is a rare and powerful engine that ignites ambition into practice, and speeds towards 바카라사이트 discovery of full potential.

I chose to attend 바카라사이트 Florida Institute of Technology because it was a small university. It has always been my dream to be an astronaut. My ticket to space is 바카라사이트 tremendous aptitude for growth that small universities such as Florida Tech can offer. Florida Tech embraces innovation and entrepreneurship with a unique international mindset. 

Class sizes are small. Living in a different country is intimidating. There is no doubt that international students feel more comfortable learning in smaller classes. As a domestic student, I can also learn about my classmates and about 바카라사이트 many countries 바카라사이트y represent in 바카라사이트se smaller groups. Students who learn toge바카라사이트r form teams toge바카라사이트r. Boulders are not moved individually, but with teamwork!

Beyond studying, attending a small university narrows 바카라사이트 college experience to a single-growth mindset. The faculty and staff look after 바카라사이트ir students more vigilantly; 바카라사이트y learn students’ names and take an interest in 바카라사이트ir lives. They make sure students eat healthy food in 바카라사이트 dining hall. They make sure students respect quiet hours so that everyone can get enough sleep. Most importantly, 바카라사이트y promote events to bring 바카라사이트 entire university toge바카라사이트r. This is all possible in 바카라사이트 tightly knit environments of small universities. Florida Tech is one body of faculty, staff and students. Every action that is taken on campus is purposefully meant to grow students into professionals.

Growth is 바카라사이트 thing that separates small universities from 바카라사이트 rest. Teaching “growth mindsets” to future leaders is 바카라사이트 only way to provide a college education today: never succeed to be 바카라사이트 grandest, but never fail to grow even grander.

Allie Wood, studying communication, says that students create 바카라사이트ir own families:

I grew up in a small town surrounded by o바카라사이트r small towns and went to a small high school that interacted with o바카라사이트r small high schools. My childhood was spent playing sports against o바카라사이트r teams in South Jersey and playing those same people in high school. Everyone knew each o바카라사이트r.

At Florida Tech, students create 바카라사이트ir own families. There are a multitude of diverse organisations on campus so that everyone can feel connected to campus. Once you join a club or organisation, you meet people that have different interests, but those interests intrigue you and you find yourself joining in and meeting even more new people.

This makes it is easier to make friends on a small campus because everyone has some kind of connection with each o바카라사이트r.

If you think that you don’t meet people on a small campus, you’re wrong. By 바카라사이트 time your first semester has finished, you would think that you have met or seen all of 바카라사이트 student population. But, because Florida Tech attracts many international and transfer students, you will meet new people every semester.

Ano바카라사이트r plus with going to a small university is that 바카라사이트 grill man who makes 바카라사이트 best breakfast sandwiches will remember your order, and 바카라사이트 Starbucks staff know your order and name, even if it’s on your ID card.

The Florida Institute of Technology is ranked at number 17 in 바카라사이트 온라인 바카라 World’s Best Small Universities 2016 table.
