If you want to be by the beach, a town where wondering what you can do is never a question, has plenty of character and is the oldest city in the US, Flagler College may just be your ticket! Tucked away between the intercoastal and the Atlantic, within a block of all of the action and activities, Flagler is a refreshing change from the southern Florida hustle and bustle beach scene. The feel is a cross between Cape May, NJ and Key West, Florida. What a wonderful find!
