    I like this college for a few reasons, but one specifically. They have good professors who communicate well with you. There are some things I do not like. I do not like the system they have with their dual enrollment program. They do not relay much information to you and put a lot of pressure on your guidance counselor to do it and things can get messed up very easily that way!

    The classes are relatively easy while thorough.

    The math professors are hit or miss, often lacking true teaching capability, and many focus on a teach yourself style.

    The anatomy and physiology department is excellent. There is a cadaver lab, along with advanced lab technology for such a small school.

    Being a community college, it is relatively small, meaning the biggest class size you typically see is around 30.

    There are plenty of student involvement events. Guidance is very thorough and people will sit down with you and talk you through whatever you need assistance with.
    I have only been at Florida Gateway College for the Summer term. What I like at FGC is how kind and helpful all the staff and professors have been. They are always willing to help or point you in the right direction. My adviser has helped me in choosing classes to reach my AA and towards my Bachelors degree. She also helped me apply my prior transcripts towards my AA. I also found the tutors at the Student Success Center so nice and knowledgeable. They all gave good advice and went above and beyond to help me with a class I was struggling with. Since I have only been there for a short time the only thing I've had problems with is locating the correct building. But all I had to do was ask, and I was given great directions. My experience so far has been a great one.
