Saint Leo University

Saint Leo University has an incredible campus that is expanding every second. The influx of inquiries and applications has forced Saint Leo to renovate some of the historical one story buildings to three story buildings. I obtained my BA from Saint Leo back in 2011 and the campus was beautiful with a lake in the back, palm trees through the campus, tons of open areas with shaded seating areas, and plenty of space to throw Frisbee or just relax. I am now back in their Graduate program because I couldn’t stay away. I take a majority of my classes at a small Lakeland location that is included in the Sykes building, but I had to make the 1hr drive to the University campus for this most recent class and I couldn’t be more excited.
I was bummed out when I first heard that I had to make that long drive after work, but all those negative thoughts disappeared when I stepped foot on campus and witnessed all the changes that occurred since I graduated. The Crawford building (mostly criminal justice classes) was transformed from a one story building to a 3 story masterpiece called Kirk Hall. The bottom floor has some cutting edge classrooms with touch screen monitors, computers for use, and 2 separate seating areas. The new Donald Tapia business building is also a 3 story building that has innovative layouts for the classrooms. The library is incredibly cozy and most of the buildings have free coffee for anyone. The campus is smaller because it is a private school, but I can’t help but want to learn when I walk around. I may consider just making the drive once a week to the main campus because I love the atmosphere so much!
Watch out for parking though! All parking lots require a yellow or red parking decal and a ticket or towing could be a result if you don’t pay attention. There is only 1 visitors parking area in the front by security, but there is also a LARGE parking garage located towards the back of the school that also shows you how many spots are open. Guests can park anywhere after 5pm, so just keep that in mind. Be careful when first entering the campus. There is a round about and students routinely speed straight into the round about without looking. There is HUGE level change from going in or going out of the round about, so be careful with bottoming out for your car’s sake. The events are never ending on campus with plenty of public attendance encouraged, so be on the lookout for credible guest speakers and performances that will blow your mind!
