One of my children has graduated and another will soon. From a parents point of view the small campus is great and you feel safer having your kids here. The teachers seem to provide great assistance to them both during the school year and after graduation. I did feel that there were not a lot of assistance with job placement after graduation for my son in finance but he still found a great job. From a finance side it is irritating to get a bill for the semester only to get another one for another grand or more just before classes start. From the aesthetics side we love to visit. The campus is beautifully maintained and well shaded.
With downtown Deland within walking distance you can walk from campus to the downtown area. You could easily get away without a car but will need to get a ride to Publix or Wal-​Mart for supplies since there is no grocery store in town. I am surprised that the college does not set up a shuttle to Publix on a weekly basis at least.

I’m currently pursuing a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Stetson University, and, I must say, I’m having a most enjoyable educational experience :) I went to the super-​huge University of Florida during my undergraduate years, so the small environment here is a huge change. The campus itself is beautiful and quaint with classic brick buildings and finely manicured grounds. The surrounding areas are quaint and cool with a truly historic downtown just blocks for campus. My professors are top-​notch professionals still active in the mental health field, and I have enjoyed several events like meditation workshops and the witnessing of a Buddhist sand mandala being built on campus. Stetson is a great school!

*This review is solely about the campus aesthetics as I am not an alumni nor am I affiliated with the University in any way*
What a gorgeous campus! Compared to the more modern college campuses is the norm in Central Florida, Stetson offers a wonderful blast from the past. It is a relatively small campus and one can explore it in its entirety in approximately 2 hours. Of course, this is when you only observe the exteriors. We did our exploration on Easter Sunday so none of the buildings, except the Student Union and Library, were open to the public. I am most curious about the interiors of Deland Hall, Elizabeth Hall, and Sampson Hall.
This is a wonderful place for photo opportunities, especially with the architecture and landscaping. And with quaint downtown Deland just a few steps away, exploring Stetson University can easily be coupled with exploring the adorable stores (including restaurants and bars) along the main street.

Stetson is my undergraduate alma mater. It was tough, but it was worth it. Rigorous academic experiences combined with some very necessary life experiences helped set me up very well for grad school, and ultimately, for leadership in the real world. Plus, there is a sizeable alumni community in my area. I can’t say enough good things about Stetson. Plus, I made some great friends there, and I’ve managed to keep them. It was tough, but it was fun. Thank you, Stetson!

Christmas candlelight service. Fabulous. The students are so talented. This is classical Christmas musc at it’s best. The music director made great choices and the students, especially the female vocalists were very talented this year. Unfotunately this year’s Christmas show is over. However, there are other shows during the year. Be sure not to miss the Candlelight processional next December! It’s an inexpensive ($ 20) treat. Includes a sing=a=long of some of your fave Christmas carols.
