PSC is a joke. I cannot believe, given its proximity to other colleges, that it operates so poorly. The headaches involved with the financial aid and academic advising is absurd. The lack of empathy or understanding from the departments is hard to accept when you think about how much money you spend at the school. You practically have to do their jobs for them, which makes sense as so many work-study students do the jobs that should be handled by professionals.
The academics arent bad, except for the math dept. The online and in-person math courses are so heavily dependent on MyMathLab that the department has no real structure or guidance.
I attended PSC Aerospace, and have nothing but good things to say about that campus. The teachers and staff are all great at the airside center. It is primarily the higher ups and background that make attending the college more stressful than it needs to be. Admin. items I should have never focused on were stressing me more than my coursework!

Polk state was such a great experience. The professors are top notch, and the campus is beautiful. The resources that are available such as tutors and the library are so helpful when needed. I graduated in 2021, where I was also apart of the Baseball team. This helped me get a lot into the campus life, and those connected with the school. Everyone is so nice and helpful, I’d recommend Polk State College to anybody!
My junior year of high school, I took the ENC 1101 course as a dual enrollment credit. The professor was not only very credible, but also kind and understanding. Having a teacher with such qualities greatly helped me have confidence in my knowledge and my own assignments, helping me to produce quality work. The online resources available to students such as the Teaching Learning Computing Center (TLCC) were incredibly helpful to my success in this class. Having access to multiple opinions on my writing works from different perspectives in a timely manner supported improvements in my writing skills that not only have continued to use throughout my high school education, but that I plan on using throughout my college education.
