Senior: Wonderful University! The teachers are highly passionate and care about what they are teaching. I love the atmosphere of the school and all the places to hangout throughout the campus. Portico Coffee has been a go-to for a morning coffee, a between-classes break or a place to do homework. The campus is beautiful and I especially love all the tropical trees and kept-up garden work. I look forward to coming to school daily!... Read 1,448 reviews

Sophomore: My experience with Hillsborough Community College and its professors has been amazing! Each of the campuses that are a part of the college as a whole painted a well drawn out picture of what is to come for prospective students. Each campus is well maintained, clean, safe, and inviting. The professors I have worked with during my time in their classes have helped me to grasp the material taught and help me maintain high grades through their excellent instruction and awareness of students needs....

Sophomore: The faculty are very kind and there are plenty of things to do at the college, events that take place, and clubs to join. For instance, there is free tutoring available at all times at the library which really helps me when I'm struggling with math! Also there was an event a few days ago where you are able to donate blood so that was super neat! I got a $25 dollar gift card from it! There was also a credit union company which was allowing free sign ups and offering help to students who need help with finances. They have a program/club called Women on the Way which is free to sign up and you get benefits like free clothing and scholarship opportunities. Overall, it is a great school that really cares for its students.... Read 2,674 reviews

Alum: I had a fantastic experience at this college. The professors were awesome they really made themselves available to the students in case they needed any extra help in learning the material. In fact, once my professor would actually come to the library to have a group study session with the students before every exam. The campus is great always well kept and the facility itself is really nice. The academics were hands down some of the best, a fantastic college to attend!... Read 1,283 reviews

Alum: I attended Florida College for 2.5 years. This is an excellent academic institution. The professors, staff, and students all strive for community and helping one another grow academically, professionally, and spiritually. Located in Temple Terrace, Florida College is eight minutes away from Busch Gardens, a half hour from the beach, twenty minutes away from downtown Tampa, and an hour and a half away from Disney. There are so many outdoor activities available to do in the area, and students (and the SBGA) are constantly planning events on-campus and off. There is no shortage of opportunities for social fun. After FC, I attended University of South Florida, which was a great experience, but I did not make the hundreds of lasting connections and friendships that I still have thanks to FC. Additionally, if you need networking or shadowing opportunities, FC advisors and professors will facilitate professional connections both locally and nationally. I can't recommend this school enough!... Read 311 reviews
