I might be going there next year for the PGM program next year.

But they way i look at it, is the 2 bedroom is best for freshman (you get the freshman experience)

The 4 bedroom apartment style dorms are good once you know people and want bigger space to stay with your buddies.

Overall though sick ass school only downside is that there is no skiing. But sometimes you gotta pay the price for a good education.

Ohh and as far as cops, I asked when i was there about this and the students said that unless you are really loud and obvious about it, than there wont be trouble. And if you do get caught youll get written up.

Now in the aparment style dorms people over 21 can have alcohol in the dorm just not out when somone under 21 is there with them.

I have a 10 handicap, the PGM program looked really nice (you get to play on all the premier courses around the college, the golf simulator, club repair area, bunch of good stuff)

I have also looked at Cal U south of Pittsburgh, it has a great program too. Plus i could just go to Seven Springs for skiing.

Im still kinda torn between the 2 i have to weigh options and consider if i want to ski or not, the 2 different programs, and other stuff.

No they are not, but they might get the acreditation for next year. But i talked with Justin Barroner head of the program and there are some perks to their program. For the PAT (player ability test) you dont necessicarly have to pass, he said if you have good grades and do everything else you need to do he wont hold you back from graduating whereas at FGCU you have to pass or you cant go any farther.

And as far as acredited goes you can get acredited in about 2 years, this means you just arent a class A professional. It takes about 1.5 to 2 years and you can work while doing this. The process is just repeating what you learned and putting it into books given to you by the PGA of America.
