Expanding the mission of Polk State to one of central Florida’s biggest communities

Public Suburban Eagles Beach Coastal

Polk State College’s Lakeland campus sits on the southeast corner of its namesake city, just off Highway 98. This location of the college includes the institution’s Collegiate High School, a facility for juniors and seniors to earn associate degrees in conjunction with their high school diplomas. The campus is mostly surrounded by residential neighborhoods, with a mix of apartments, condos, and houses available nearby on all sides. Holloway Park and Sanlan Golf Course provide excellent opportunities to take advantage of the region’s sunshine year-round.

Just a few minutes up the road is Downtown Lakeland, a popular district full of great dining, nightlife, and entertainment options. Catch a movie at the historic Polk Theatre, grab a slice at Palace Pizza, or enjoy a couple drinks with some friends at Molly McHugh’s after hours. Tampa and Orlando are both within easy day trip distance, and a day at the beach is just a short drive away anytime.
