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.
