Day 9, last stop of the day was Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College (ABAC).
Hi, I’m Mrs. Hernandez one of the Agriculture Teachers at
Riverview High School. It was very exciting to take the students to ABAC as this is a
school I went to and received my Associates degree before transferring to the
University of Florida.
ABAC is a 4-year state college that offers 12 different bachelor’s
degrees with varying specializations, 4 Associate degrees and 10 minors. As a
small school of about
4,000 students this college packs a big punch and lots of
opportunities.
While at the school we got a tour of the campus grounds and
got to see most of the teaching farms up close. The tour guides gave the students
an overview of all the campus life activities to look forward to, rodeos,
tractor and truck pulls, spring field days, movie nights, Clay shooting teams,
and so much more. On top of all that this school has some of the nicest on
campus dorms than any other college we have seen.
If that didn’t interest the students enough, they even have
competitive sports, intramural sports, internships, and opportunities to study
abroad. Finally, if a student comes from any neighboring states (FL, GA, and
TN, SC, NC) they can apply for a Neighbor waiver and receive in-state tuition.
This is one of the many colleges stops we had but I fell it
stood on its own pedestal on size, opportunities, and price.
