Palm Beach State College Reviews
Rating 3.81 out of 5 3,238 reviews
The professors were excellent! I had many that engaged with their students, always ensuring the class was on everyone's level while also going at a pace where everyone understood the assignment. The professors also weren't pushy and didn't pile up work on students, they understood we had lives to tend to and made it manageable to work with. The school and faculty themselves also were elementary and forward going, if you had a question it would be answered, and if we had opinions about something they never went unheard. The campus itself was very safe, I never had any issues of being scared to walk from the building to my car, and I made friends very quickly and connected well too. People on campus were non-judgemental, very open, very spirited, and fun to laugh and hang around with! Great school and I would 100% recommend it to anyone going to college for the first time! Invest in going to palm beach state!
As a first-year Palm Beach State College student, my experience has been quite positive. Overall the college offers a welcoming and inclusive environment and I've connected with students and supported faculty members. The range of programs and courses has allowed me to explore more academic interests.
I appreciate the campus faculties, especially the libraries, and modern classrooms. The college also offers various clubs and extracurricular activities that have helped me socialize and engage with my peers outside class.
However, like any institution, there have been some challenges such as adjusting to the demands of college-level coursework and managing my time effectively additionally they're always room for improvement in terms of academic advising and career counseling.
Overall my first year at PBSC has been a valuable learning experience and I look forward to continuing growth and opportunities during my time here.

A little background about me and my unique experience: I am a 16 year old high school dual enrollment student at Palm Beach State College, while attending Spanish River Community High School as a full time student in 6 other college level classes! In order to increase the rigor on my schedule, I decided to take 2 dual enrollment courses for spring with my busy schedule, and for the summer semester I will enroll in 3 classes, as I will have more free time available. At Palm Beach State College they have given me numerous opportunities to further my educational career by providing adaptive options to students with busy schedules like mine. They provide online, and in person classes which have made taking classes here convenient to me! I never had difficulty contacting teachers or had a hard time understanding assignments as everything was very organized. Most of the teachers here are super great and I owe them credit to helping me advance in my education!
