SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION There are no banking facilities or ATM’s on campus. We recommend that a student opens a checking account at a local bank or maintains one from home. This will facilitate check cashing and money handling. We are less than an hour from Clearwater Beach (one of the nation’s top beaches), less than 2 hours from Disney World Orlando and many other attractions. WHAT TO BRING Dorms: Each dorm room is furnished with wall-to-wall tile and individual A/C control. There is overhead lighting and blinds for windows. Each student will need to bring their own pillow, blankets, towels, and bed linens (twin size). While sleeping bags are useful for camping weekends, these are not acceptable for daily use. Each student has a desk, dresser, and shared closet space.
Clothing: The dress code can be found on page11 of this packet.
Books & Bookstore: Textbooks for the year will cost approximately $150. Students are required to have personal laptops and will be equipped with the LOGOS software; included in the fees for a year. LOGOS contains many of the textbooks in an e-book format. All course syllabi are made available on the campus intranet as Word documents. These documents can be uploaded by the student into their LOGOS library.
Music: Bring your musical instrument with you, if possible. There will be ample opportunity throughout the year to use these, both in formal and informal settings.
