<p>Can anyone think of any Colleges that are similar to Eckerd in size, atmosphere, and weather-but with a better reputation? The college must have a undergrad major of marine biology, but that's my only real requirement. Thanks!</p>
<p>eckerd has a decent reputation if rep is the only reason i say you should apply.</p>
<p>new college of florida i think is better known academically, and it's in florida as well.</p>
<p>Also look at Rollins. A couple of other schools to check out are College of Charleston and UNC Wilmington. They are both medium size schools.</p>
<p>If you are willing to consider the West Coast, you might want to look at Pepperdine. It only has a general biology major, but students can emphasize marine biology and participate in marine biology research. Here is a link to a discussion of marine biology on the school's website:</p>
<p>Pepperdine</a> University - Seaver College - Natural Science Division</p>
<p>New College of Florida, Flagler College</p>
<p>Flaglar doesn't have an biology majors...atleast it didn't last time I looked. If you're thinking about applying to New College I highly reccomend visiting, it's definitely not the right college for everyone.</p>
<p>definitely check out college of charleston
university of miami, great marine bio but its much larger (~10,000 undergrad)
university of san diego
university of tampa</p>
<p>I've heard good things about U of Tampa.</p>
<p>Rollins might be a good choice.</p>
