I love Polk State College! The campus is easy to navigate, the professors are very personable and helpful, and the students are friendly. The tuition is very reasonable and and their very good at helping you find funding resources. I especially love that its close to home.This is my second time attending Polk State College and both of my experiences have been good. They have tons of activities from fall festivals to Halloween parties. The sporting events are a lot of fun to attend and the food is really good. Everyone in the bookstore is very knowledgeable and answers your questions without making you feel silly for asking them.
I enjoy being a Polk State College students, the campus is well kept and very nice! They have a lot of study rooms and study equipment! The library in both the Lakeland and winter haven campus are some of the best study spots! All the instructors I've had are extremely knowledgeable and helpful! They want to see you succeed! Even during the COVID-19 pandemic they were sure that the students had what they needed to be available to take exams and complete their classes.
I love it here! The music department is great and Manzi is so nice! Everybody loves her! There is a particular professor here that outshines every other educator. This professor is Prof. Pringle-Brown, even if she's not your professor, she will help you in any way she can and genuinely cares for all the students at Polk State College. I used to be upset that I was going to a community college but after attending Polk State College and seeing old friends drop out of top-notch colleges, I am so glad I was able to experience the culture that Polk State College offers.
