This is a wonderful facility with one serious problem. They really need to work on the sound…read moresystem. It's great for music but the announcing is terribly garbled. The other problem is they pay a lot of security people to stand around but they're clueless about the facility. The can't answer a single question about seating. They're getting paid. What's wrong with training to be customer friendly? This would never happen at a 1st class facility.

As a current student that has been here now for 3 years this place is a pretty cool experience. The…read morelocation and campus is one of a kind that you won't see at any other college. Let's start with how everything is practically still brand new. As a relatively young college all the buildings and classrooms are top notch and new. As someone who went to a college that has been around much longer, FGCU has the nicest facilities I've seen. And that's not just for the student athletes or the privileged, that is for everyone. You also have a private beach on campus with a boat for rent. Once again something that is almost unparalleled with other college campuses. Next you have the unique location of being sandwiched between two amazing cities, Forty Myers and Naples. The amount of money has such an impact on the surrounding areas it's amazing. Everywhere you go you have the best shopping and dining anyone could possibly ask for. All within 15 minutes of campus and everywhere is pretty much a friendly neighborhood. Lastly the academics here are getting better and will continue to improve. FGCU is still young and relatively easy compared to other big schools but I'm sure this will change in the coming years. This is a unique college with a pretty awesome experience waiting for someone to come give it a whirl.

Ok, so, eons ago I was one of the original students at this campus when it was named for that guy…read morewhom many believe invented the light bulb. I hadn't set foot on this campus in about 8 years until a few days ago. Now that being said, this review is a mixed bag, baby. I think that I had some great teachers at this college back at the time of Hurricane Andrew. I saved a huge stack of cash whilst pocketing an associates before shipping off to Gainesville for archi-torture school. However, not much has changed on this campus in 25 years. Sure, it's got a new name, mascot, a few new modern buildings, some minor pathways and relocation of some offices, etc. at this campus. But, walking around really brought me back to the early '90's and the time I spent knocking out my basic coursework fresh outta high school. That's not necessarily a bad thing, I am just a little curious as to why the student lounge and cafeteria have had almost no upgrades save for a flat screen tv, a newer ATM machine, but nothing to really make a budding college kid want to hang out on campus for several hours between classes on a Tuesday? I wanted to ask the two students that were actually in the darkened lounge, but they were so bored that they were crashed out on the vinyl couch that 1977 was calling about. Heck, the tv wasn't even on, so I couldn't blame them for counting a few sheep. Not a board game in sight, foosball, Xbox, ping pong, magazine....just a few vending machines and linoleum holding up the couch. Regardless, this is a small campus, always has been, but it is clean, well maintained, good location, and I am sure still providing a good, affordable education which is more important than anything. But, I think they could throw a few more bucks at making the student lounge more fun and attractive for socializing between classes....just the humble opinion of an alum. Oh, and just one final thought...was never a fan of the original name for the fraud inventor, so well done with that change and best wishes for the future. Thanks for hosting CCPS events like the recent STEM comp as well.

This college is a fraud scam money grab . There are no guidances counseling only sales people that…read moremake you sign up for a bunch of stuff you don't need, this college will make you take double the classes for the same degree anywhere else. Comming from someone with over 100 credits and no degree. This place should be shut down . FSW needs to go bring back Edison!!!
