Providing next-level educational opportunities in Fort Myers since 1962

Public Suburban FSW Buccaneers Beach Coastal

Known as Edison State College until 2014, the institution now known as Florida SouthWest College has been a fixture in Fort Myers since 1962. The campus’ Suncoast Credit Union Arena serves as the home court for FSW basketball and volleyball, as well as various special events and community sports tournaments. The Barbara Mann Performing Arts Center is another popular venue for the community, hosting stage plays, symphony concerts, lecture series, and everything in between.

Living close to campus will put you close to some of Fort Myers’ best attractions. FSW sits just a couple of blocks from the shopping centers at the intersection of Tamiami Trail and Cypress Lake Drive, putting dozens of shops and restaurants within convenient walking distance. And of course, with Sanibel Island just minutes away, you may find yourself spending all your free time soaking in the sun on the beautiful beaches of Florida’s Gulf Coast.
