Hi, I recently got admitted to Eckerd and I was wondering, how is the lgbt life on campus? Is it mostly tolerated or shunned?

From my LGBTQ+ friend “I never felt unsafe, or unaccepted, or that I couldn’t explore who I was. Its not Eckerd is one big gay party, but there are definitely groups on campus to be a part of and safe spaces. Those groups can open you up to gay life in st pete and tampa. Be prepared to do a lot of exploring on your own.”

Does eckerd have a harry potter club?

Yes, a very active one while I was there. There was also a Quidditch team at some point but I’m not sure who leads that anymore. You can always start a new club and apply from funding from ECOS if you feel there is a gap. I had some friends who started a mac n cheese appreciate club– so no club too small

hi! i had a quick question about mosquitoes. does florida/eckerd have a lot? because for some reason mosquitoes always go crazy for my blood...

I know we treat our ponds on campus so they’re not breeding grounds. Other than that I’d say bring the bug spray and don’t eat too many bananas? I’ve never heard of anyone having a particular problem with them on campus.

I just applied to Eckerd last week and I'm wondering if I would be put into a pet friendly dorm my first semester since I hope to plan on bringing my dog in the second semester.. I'm really hoping that I get into Eckerd.. From what I've seen, it has no cons for me

You can request to be put in a pet dorm on your roommate/dorm form once you’ve been admitted and thrown down the first payment. The odds are pretty good to get what you want, but you can always talk to housing once your down there to switch.

Hey so I'm applying to eckerd and it seems like a perfect fit for me. The only thing I'm worried about is the drug use on campus. I don't mind people smoking weed or things of that nature but I personally don't enjoy doing it. Can I still have an active social life if I don't smoke?

Hi! Thanks for asking that question, I get a lot of similar concerns. Basically at Eckerd if you want it, you can definitely find it- and a group of people to do it with. There are a lot of people who are very active socially, who never smoke (or you know, just do it a few times). From everything I’ve seen, and all the stories I’ve heard, you’re more likely to get peer-pressured into going to dinner early than any sort of drug.

I love how it’s not something like “wear something smart”. It’s just like “wear something”.

the first thing you’ll notice if you ever visit florida is that there’s lizards everywhere and they’re constantly doing push ups
