we had a leak in our ceiling and mold grew on the tile because maintenance didn't come for a week

I'm graduating in May '23 and I hope no one goes to this college until it has sorted itself out. There's MAJOR communication disconnect between staff and students. I've been living with mold in my dorm for the past two years. No amount of reporting it, or requesting maintenance does any good. I have had friends get kicked out of their dorms because of BLACK MOLD. At one point it was in the walls in Iota complex. Students are ticketed unfairly and inconsistently for parking rules that seem to change based on the security officer giving them out. They aren't supposed to ticket over weekends or spring break, but they do it anyway. The food is horrendous and will give you indigestion. If you have celiac disease, good luck. People have had reactions to "gluten free" dishes because of cross contamination. I have just about every dietary restriction under the sun, and came here under the guise that there would be plenty of food variety available for me. For four years i've been living off of my microwave and air fryer because no stomach ache from the Cafe is worth it. The AC doesn't work in the dorms, mine hasn't worked for an entire semester. Maintenance doesn't always come and when they do they don't always fix the problem. We've had them come NINE TIMES to fox our AC and they haven't fixed it even once. If something horrible happens to you the Title IX system doesn't work AT ALL and people accused get to go about their lives normally, even if they've been accused multiple times. If their parents donate money or they play a sport, nothing happens to them. Students tried to plead their case to the last president and he didn't care. The utopia the few other reviews mentioned hasn't existed since pre-COVID (which eckerd handled extremely poorly too. im glad no one has to experience that again). it truly is the people, not the place. if you're living off campus you can avoid most of the things i've mentioned, but there's a thing we like to call "The Eckerd Bubble" which means people get sort of trapped on campus and don't really leave. If you're thinking about coming here, I encourage you to take a tour and talk to STUDENTS. not faculty, not tour guides, STUDENTS about everything i've mentioned. if you still think it's the right school for you, i wish you the best of luck and i BEG you to KEEP ECKERD WEIRD!!

See all
