Walk our lakeside campus with a current student, meet your admissions counselor who’s ready to answer all your questions, and leave with a real sense of what life as a Moc looks like.
Tours at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday through Friday year-round.
Plan on about two hours on campus. We’ll start in the presentation room, end at a table with your counselor, and spend the time in between walking the parts of FSC that matter most to you.
Coffee, water, and a short introduction to FSC; how academics work, what the application process looks like, and how financial aid comes together. It’s the presentation that gives you the lay of the land before you’ve seen any of it.
One of our student ambassadors will take you across campus. You’ll walk beneath the Esplanades, peek inside a residence hall, Tutu’s Cafe, and academic spaces. Ask anything. The best parts of these tours are usually the side conversations.
Sit down with the counselor who covers your area to talk through your specific next steps; what to apply for, what aid could look like for you, and what to do between now and decision day.
Every tour is a little different. Your ambassador will adjust the route around what you care about but here’s what most visits include.
Our campus sits right on the water. You’ll see students running the lake path before class, paddle boarding between study sessions, and gathering on the lawn at sunset. It’s the kind of setting that makes you realize you could actually picture yourself living here.
FSC has the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world, and the Esplanades, covered walkways connecting nearly every building on the historic core, are how you’ll move across campus. Annie Pfeiffer Chapel is the centerpiece. Your ambassador will tell you how students actually use these spaces, not just what year they were built.
You'll step inside Nicholas Hall, one of the residence halls in our Barnett Residential Complex for first-year students, so you can answer the question every student asks: would I want to live here? You’ll see a typical room, the common spaces, and the parts of the building that quietly shape day-to-day life.
Where this stop lands depends on what you want to study; the Becker Business Building, our nursing simulation labs, the marine biology facilities, or a fine arts studio. Tell your ambassador what you’re interested in and they’ll route you through it.
You can’t really get a feel for a college without seeing where students eat. Your ambassador will take you to Wynee’s Bistro, our main dining venue, so you can see the space. If you’d like to stay for a meal on campus or grab lunch nearby afterward, just ask.
From the Wellness Center to our athletic facilities and rec spaces, you’ll see where Mocs train, compete, and take care of themselves. Whether you’re a varsity athlete, a future intramural regular, or someone who just likes a good gym, this is the part of campus that shapes a lot of FSC days.
When you schedule your tour, tell us what would make the visit most useful and we’ll do our best to build it in. A quick note: availability is more limited during academic breaks; summer, fall break, winter break, and spring break, when many classes aren’t in session and faculty schedules are lighter. We’ll always be upfront about what we can and can’t arrange for your specific date.
A few things worth knowing before you head our way.
About 15 minutes before your tour. That gives you time to park, check in with our ambassadors, grab coffee or water, and settle in before we get started.
You’ll park behind the France Admissions Center at 121 Lake Hollingsworth Drive. We’ll send the address and directions in your confirmation email after you book, along with a campus map.
Bring whoever helps you make the call; parents, guardians, siblings, a counselor. Most visitors come with one or two family members; larger groups are welcome too, just let us know the headcount when you book or by replying to your confirmation email so we can plan accordingly.
Yes. Our walking tour route is accessible, and we’re happy to adjust pace, route, or stops to meet your needs. If you have specific accessibility or accommodation questions, mention them when you book and we’ll plan ahead.
Comfortable walking shoes and clothes you can move in. Florida weather is Florida weather; sunny and warm most of the year, occasionally a quick afternoon shower. Bring sunglasses, a water bottle if you’d like, and a light layer if you run cold in air-conditioned buildings.
Yes. Many families stay for lunch at one of our dining venues. Let your counselor know when you book and we can help you plan it.
You can also book a different time or contact us directly and we’ll do our best to make it work.
Just reply to your confirmation email or call us at 863.680.4131. We get it, plans change. Rescheduling is easy.
Pick a date that works for you and we’ll handle the rest. You’ll get a confirmation email with parking, check-in details, and a quick form to tell us what you’d like your tour to focus on.
No pressure. You can also request more information and have your admissions counselor reach out, or get in touch directly if you’re visiting from out of town and want help planning the trip.
