Flagler College occupies the former Hotel Ponce de Leon, a Spanish Renaissance-style National Historic Landmark built in 1888 in downtown St. Augustine, Florida's historic district. Located 40 miles south of Jacksonville, the coastal campus is integrated into America's oldest city, with many academic buildings housed in restored Gilded Age structures featuring ornate architecture and original Tiffany windows. The private liberal arts institution, established in 1968, maintains selective admission standards and offers undergraduate programs with particular strength in business, education, and communication. Students are required to live on campus for their first two years, with many residing in former hotel rooms that have been converted into residence halls while maintaining their historic character. The college's prime location provides direct access to St. Augustine's Spanish colonial sites and Atlantic beaches, incorporating these historical and natural resources into academic programs.
