Rollins College is situated in Winter Park, Florida, an upscale suburb located just north of Orlando. The lakeside campus, established in 1885 as Florida's first recognized college, features Spanish Mediterranean architecture across its 80-acre grounds, which include distinctive palm-lined walkways and direct access to Lake Virginia. As a private liberal arts institution, Rollins maintains selective admission standards and is particularly known for its business programs through the Crummer Graduate School of Business, international relations department, and environmental studies curriculum. The college requires undergraduate students to live on campus for their first three years, housing them in traditional residence halls and lakefront complexes, while competing in NCAA Division II athletics as the Tars?a nautical reference reflecting the school's waterfront location.
