Polk State College Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 1,476 reviews
I like my college! There is a staffing shortage of professors, but most of the professors I have are very nice. Polk State offers a lot of student support via free tutoring on campus or online, a food pantry, and a good deal of financial assistance. I attend this college through a scholarship. My counselor is like my at-school mom and cares for me beyond education, but as a person. I am also a queer person and the staff have been kind and accepting of my identity. I am not involved much with student social activities, but their are always plenty of events to attend each month, no matter your interests. I wish the campus looked a bit prettier, but it doesn't look bad as is.
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!
