Why would a rich dumb kid go to Rollins? Way better parties at Bama or U Miami than some sleepy LAC.

So they can play D2 college lacrosse or baseball. 30% of the male students are athletes.

Why would the other 70% go there?

Hot girls

Winter Park native. Grew up 4 blocks from Rollins. Back then Rollins was known for preppy, wealthy, pretty kids from the Northeast. Also cute soccer boys, BMWs, and drugs (coke). Friends and I would sneak into frat parties when we were in high school and I’d attend plays with my parents. The campus sits on the shores of Lake Virginia and has a water ski team and a fabulous outdoor swimming pool. Walkable to eating and shopping on Park Ave. People around DMV think it’s a total joke school but I’m sure you can land a job when you get out and enjoy a country club life in the process. Socially speaking a kid who is worried about money would feel out of place.

I realize this isn’t the point of the post, but for educational purposes, sailing scholarships aren’t allowed. Schools might get creative for money, but it can’t be for sailing.

Winter Park is amazing. Lots of rich, dumb kids. Literally kids have Ferraris.

Rollins College is awesome. 100% placement success for Cast Member jobs at Disney World!

Gotta start somewhere and work your way up. What's the problem with that?

I’m sure that poster is a troll that just can’t cope with the fact the Rollins grads can be just as successful as grads from top SLAC’s.

I asked ChatGPT to give me a stereotype and reality check of the students at Rollins:

Stereotype: “Preppy, Beachy, Country Club Vibes”
Reality Check: Globally Minded, Service-Oriented, and Career-Focused

When my senior was considering Rollins, we spoke with an alum who was working in DC. She spoke very highly of her experience. I know they have a accelerated MBA program. To the OP, you might want to check out their alumni social media accounts:

Here is their student newspaper: https://www.thesandspur.org/

Also, Winter Park is an adorable town and is just steps off of campus: https://www.istockphoto.com/photos/winter-park-florida

Looks like they are building new dorms and faculty housing which will be ready for Fall 2026: https://www.thesandspur.org/east-end-neighborhood-housing-update/

Neither. Better than Roanoke (which sucks) but nowhere near W&L

Cite that Rollins is better than Roanoke?

Rollins is ranked 2nd among regional universities in the Southeast (out of 135). Roanoke is ranked 122 among 211 national liberal arts colleges. Can’t compare these directly but seems to give the edge to Rollins.

Rollins’ admit rate is 41 percent. Roanoke’s is 80 percent. Rollins’ SAT range is 1185 to 1355 and Roanoke’s is
1090 to 1270.

National > regional. Isn’t high point regional?

You really need to learn how to read. I said you can’t do a direct comparison. Having said that, it is the number two ranked university among 155 in its region. That’s pretty damn good. And Roanoke isn’t even average among national liberal arts colleges. And they take 80% of their applicants. Roanoke is a bullshit school.

lol you’re a bullshit person

A well-reasoned response. 🙄

I’m sure you were very impressed with High Point when it was #1 in the region lol

I am uninterested in High Point for reasons unrelated to whatever its academic strengths may be. I am uninterested in Rollins because of its location. None of that makes Roanoke the academic powerhouse you seem to think that it is.

Try to keep up, I never said Roanoke is an academic powerhouse. You haven’t proven Rollins is any better other than cherry picking when you do or don’t want to use an arbitrary ranking. Your test scores and acceptance rates also don’t mean much without some serious citations. What percent submits testing? How were those acceptance rates calculated?
