There are a lot of post-secondary education options here in the Winter Park area. The University of Central Florida (my alma mater) is just up the road a few miles, and is currently the second largest university in the country. Full Sail University is very well respected in all aspects of the entertainment industry. Barry University and FAMU both have law schools here in the area. There are also a myriad of other options in the surrounding area. Right here in the middle of Winter Park on the shore of Lake Virginia at the south end of Park Ave is Rollins College.
Rollins is consistently ranked among the top small colleges in the South, and has been number one for the last few years in a row. Thinking of graduate school? Their evening programs are equally well respected, and you just will not find a more lovely campus location. The Crummer Graduate School of Business (also my alma mater) is ranked as the number one MBA in the state, and consistently ranked nationally as well. Rollins College is just another terrific reason to consider Winter Park.
