President Barack Obama made good on his promise to come back to Central Florida for a campaign stop he had to cancel two weeks earlier.

Obama was supposed to speak at Rollins College on July 20, but after news broke about the deadly massacre at a Colorado movie theater, the president cancelled his campaign plans for the day and headed back to the White House.

The crowd sang “Happy Birthday” to the president as he opened his rally in Rollins College in Winter Park. His 51st birthday is Saturday.

The president also talked about the Olympic games, saying that “we come together when we have to present ourselves to the world.”

The president then went into his campaign speech, saying this election was “a choice about two fundamentally different visions for America.”

For the fifth time in a row, Rollins College of Winter Park FL still holds the top honor for the annual rankings of “America’s Best Colleges”. The college has bested 117 master’s-level universities in the South of the country yet again.

One of the main factors that has contributed to Rollins’ firm grip on the top spot of the rankings include small class sizes with 67% of the classes that has students numbering less than 20. This figure makes Rollins College of Winter Park FL better than Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cornell University, University of Notre Dame, Dartmouth College, and John Hopkins University whose respective ratings for the category are 65%, 58%, 55%, 63%, and 65% respectively.

While smaller class sizes make for better learning, the quality of faculty makes for quality lessons and 94% of the faculty working full-time at Rollins College of Winter Park FL, students has a better chance of landing with a subject matter expert that is proud and happy as a college professor. This percentage makes Rollins better than larger-than-life names like Princeton University or even Yale University among others.

For Rollins College, the honor of being the South’s best college is just one of the many fruits of the hard labor that their students, faculty, alumni, and recruiters who have been dedicated in producing students who are not just extraordinary leaders but also active contributors in their respective communities since 1885.

With all the distinctions garnered by the Rollins College of Winter Park FL, any student planning to get a degree in the field of Arts or Business is far from being wrong to choose Rollins College, America’s Best College in the South.
