The so-called FRAG was created in 1979 by the Florida Legislature to assist Florida residents attending private colleges and universities in the state.

You mean these equations actually mean something?

By Kim Hartman When referring to math, I’ve heard the sentence so many times it hurts: “I’m never going to use this in life.” I’ve always been confused as to why the phrase became so popular, since math has always applied to my life.


Prelude: What I did for my summer vacation

So, the summer is almost here — for Flagler students anyway. I never really appreciated getting out so early for the summer while I was a student here. At least I don’t think I fully appreciated it. Now as I sit here thinking about the…
