Day Four FIT and Rollins


The weather is slowly warming up and the sun is shining. Watching the sun rise on the Atlantic Ocean this morning was too beautiful.
Florida Institute of Technology was our first stop. First we toured the aviation center which includes 55 airplanes. Then we moved on to their main campus. Bring your bike and skateboard. There are a large variety of majors, but engineering and aviation are strong here. With a price tag near $50,000, you have a smaller student body with less students in each class.
Their sports list is growing with swimming and diving, and football and lacrosse on the way. Some other things of interest -- a noted botanical garden, Florida's largest telescope, The Scott Center for Autism
Rollins College is one of the most beautiful campuses with its Spanish architecture. Arches, flowers, Virginia Lake, a private beach, a pool that reminds you of a country club are part of the campus. Preppy, attractive students abound. With a 10 to 1 student to faculty ratio and a class maximum of 24, the Socratic form of class works well. Study abroad is extremely popular.
