We’re like a family here. I really feel comfortable and welcome and have so much appreciation for the type of relationship that is built within a small, cozy community. Professors know me by name and are eager to help. That is exactly what I wanted when I chose this school and the academic and social atmosphere has gone above and beyond my expectations. Saad Alahmari, Computer Science ’17 Saudi Arabia

One of the best things about Florida Southern is the support I have received here. With the help of my professors and the career center, I was able to network with a local employer, JBT Foodtech, a world-renowned market leader in the citrus industry. After interning there, I was hired as their marketing coordinator for Liquid Food Solutions. After graduation, I was given a sponsorship and currently have a temporary work visa! Johan Jönnson, Business BA ’11, MBA ’12 Native of Sweden
