Full Sail’s campus is located in Winter Park, Florida, just outside of Orlando. It’s a college area through and through – young, eclectic, with lots to offer students.
Being on campus feels like working in a collaborative creative studio. From live venues, to production studios, to a Hollywood-style backlot, our spaces are designed for hands-on learning – giving students the environments, technology, and production tools to bring ideas to life.
Just a little further beyond Full Sail, local areas and neighborhoods offer over 35 music venues, movie theaters, comedy clubs, and many other nightlife options. There are also more than two dozen music, comic, game, or other specialty shops in the area, including Park Ave CDs and the Geek Easy, as well as over 15 museums, concert halls, and sports venues – such as the Amway Center, home of the Orlando Magic, and the Orlando City Soccer Stadium.
The Central Florida area is renowned as the theme park capital of the world, and three of the nation’s most popular theme park resorts – Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Sea World Orlando – are located within 30 miles of campus, in addition to many other tourist attractions.
If you enjoy the great outdoors, there are dozens of lakes, springs, as well as wildlife refuges with expansive hiking trails, and, of course, the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean are just an hour away from the Full Sail campus. Getting to and from the area is easy, as Central Florida also offers over five train stations, two international airports, and two bus stations.
