<p>I just wanted to see if there was anyone out there that could help me try to get a better feel for Eckerd College in Florida. I am interested in majoring in the Environmental Science/Studies areas. If there are any alumns or parents or friends of friends that know about the school and could just give me a taste of what to expect I would appreciate it so much. I am interested in hearing about the programs they offer and the student life on and off campus.</p>
<p>I was recently accepted and can tell you a couple things. I applied because of their strength in marine science and I'm sure they are also strong in environmental studies. It is located in a suburb of St. Petersburg and is right on the ocean. It has a very relaxed atmosphere and would provide you with a good liberal arts education. I haven't heard that the party scene is anything to brag about but you can find things to do. There is plenty to see in St. Pete, including a Salvador Dali museum. </p>
<p>I think Eckerd is a good choice. Are you planning to attend? Did you apply anywhere else?</p>
