Video: Inside a Rollins Classroom

What does it mean to learn at Rollins? For starters, it’s about much more than taking notes and passing exams. It means joining conversations, testing ideas, working side by side with professors, and putting what you learn into practice.

In this video, five Tars offer a firsthand look at the Rollins classroom experience and the relationships and opportunities that help turn learning into momentum. Small, discussion-driven classes give students the space to ask questions, share perspectives, and develop the confidence to take intellectual risks. Just as important, close faculty mentorship means professors know their students by their interests, ambitions, and the paths they hope to pursue.

And at Rollins, the classroom extends beyond four walls. Students take what they’re learning into labs, communities, internships, research projects, and experiences around the world, connecting ideas to real challenges and building practical skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication along the way.

From meaningful faculty relationships to hands-on learning opportunities, a Rollins classroom gives students the space to explore ideas, apply what they’re learning, and build the skills, confidence, and experience to thrive wherever their paths may lead.
