Just wanted to check back in and say we visited Eckerd last week and we were incredibly impressed. Any school here in-state has been a hard sell and DS was predisposed to not liking it. But he understood that he needs a safety school that he likes and is also definitely affordable! He came out of the tour and a meeting with an Admissions counselor saying that Eckerd was now a real contender beyond just as a “safety” though! He liked that downtown St Petersburg (a really nice little city) was just a few min away. Definitely got the feeling that students at Eckerd are engaged and curious and that there are real opportunities for him there.
