Miami Dade College West Campus is a small campus; hence its inviting and comfortable environment for students, staff, and visitors. All the staff -- custodians, office staff, public safety officers, and professors -- are friendly and concerned with student success. At West, we feel like family. The campus is very neat. The class infrastructure is amazing! West provides all tools needed by students and professors for a successful semester. Including some ping pong tables for relaxation and fun :)
Review Miami Dade College
"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest".(Benjamin Franklin) Miami Dade College does nothing more but promote the importance of the expansion of your knowledge! From the professor's life long lessons to the great outdoors of this wonderful campus, is something to truly be thankful for. Stepping stone, is the phrase I would like to use to describe my experience here at Miami Dade College.The acceptance of diffferent cultures,ages, and races is what I admire most. I appreciate the ambition that students provide to one another when they begin to feel like they have hit rock bottom, families are formed. The only thing I would change at Miami Dade College, is to see a larger list of enrollment each semester."Knowledge is Power!"(Francis Bacon) I will never regret my decision in attending this magnificent college. I not only wish myself the best in continuing to do my best at this campus, but the well being of other students success as well. Let the education journey continue!
The essence of the motivating environment in this college is truly enticing and continues to motivate my future pathway into a successful career. As a student, a support basis is extremely helpful to maintain focus and drive for the "big dream." The academic advisers assist in clear understanding what path your should take and assist in developing the big picture into reality with their guidance. Administration in this school is extremely involve and comprehending of the trials and tribulation that the dynamic student body are regularly exposed to such as the administration individually considers a student's appeal reasoning for the downfall of failing a class for approval review. I must continue to embrace that the student body's needs are taken into consideration when creating their academic curriculum. I am very glad to have elected this college to beginning my college education.
