LIVING
CAMPUS IS A LABORATORY
After two years at OUR
FGCU, I have full confidence that I chose the perfect school for myself. Between making friendships and learning about things I’m passionate about, FGCU has changed my life. It has pushed me to grow in ways I did not know were possible. Throughout my time here I’ve learned skills to help me professionally and socially. I don’t believe I would have gotten these anywhere else.”
