| I am an alum, entering in 1970 when it was a much newer and smaller school.
I did enroll in Space Sciences - Astrophysics however my interests switched to computers almost immediately, thus I have no direct experience with the upper division physics courses.
The fit with your son will depend upon his GPA, SATs and preferences for style of school. The SAT range is 1050-1280 CR+M for the 25th to 75th percentiles, 3.5 GPA is average and is in the third tier of national universities in the US News rankings.
It is located in Melbourne, Florida, a reasonable sized city that is near enough to Cape Kennedy and Orlando for side trips. Undergraduate attendance is roughly 2,000 plus graduate students. The main campus is 130 acres with pretty decent facilities. Crime rates are low in the area. Not a huge school in class size. Decent dorms and plenty of room to stay all four years if he wants, plus plenty of parking if he gets a car while there. Good school spirit, well rounded activities available.
Post or PM any more specific questions. |
