Senior: I have enjoyed my experience so much at Gulf Coast State College. The professors are all so nice and helpful, with very well designed courses. The class sizes are smaller which gives much better attention to each student for their education. The students have been so fun! The campus is diverse and there are events and games often. I really enjoy their digital media program as it goes for studies this has been the best college experience I've had out of three others. The best thing about Gulf Coast State College is the tuition rates. They are affordable and offer scholarship opportunities within the school to help students pursue their brightest future possible with the highest ROI possible. I have already had several career opportunities present themselves to me before I have even graduated, and they are all exciting! I highly recommend Gulf Coast State College to anyone looking for a college in Florida.... Read 559 reviews

Freshman: Take a deep breath don't be nervous, take a moment to observe your surroundings. These were my first thoughts when stepping into Valencia College to begin my first semester in the spring. As someone who graduated early during the midst of the pandemic, I felt like I would be immediately outcasted academically. While I was a straight A’s student in high school with a severe lack of teachers, I began to wonder if I was truly ready to attend college full-time at the age of 16. However, as soon as I entered the building I was greeted by the staff, and welcomed by a comforting and sincere environment. In that exact moment all my worries and concerns vanished! There is always someone around to answer my questions and programs to cater to my mental, emotional, physical, and academic needs. With a variety of activities and clubs, I was guaranteed a place to fit in all while feeling safe. Valencia College is more than just another educational institution it is now my second home....

Sophomore: I have had such an amazing experience at this school. I am so happy that I applied here and made my decision to attend this university. Academic life here is very manageable and it’s great because of the small class sizes. There are no student teachers as all Proffesor’s are accredited individuals. I have been able to form great relationships with Proffesor’s. Overall there are so many social and academic opportunities offered here that can advance someone in the future. In addition, the community life and social activities are the best! I would certainly recommend anyone to apply here.... Read 2,424 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....

Senior: I will be graduating May 2023. Since walking on campus freshman year the professors have been amazing. They truly care about you as an individual and want you to do well. I love the paper and presentation based learning, they are all about hands on teaching. People will call lynn easy or a bad school or too expensive or rich kid school, but if you put effort and truly care about what you are learning then you will get a lot out of your college experience. Lynn has been the best choice I have ever made. I have grown in so many ways, supported and learned so much! If you want professors who care, if you are a leader and want to get involved on campus, if you care about being heard, if you love real world learning and innovation then Lynn is the college for you....

Sophomore: I find EFSC a great college! It has nice campuses, kind faculty and staff members, and quality education. It's the best option for in-state students planning on transferring to a 4-year university after earning an A.A. or an A.S. They have amazing opportunities for all students, several scholarships, honor societies, work-study, online option, campus security, a food court with a good variety of foods, a resourceful library, as well as ample space for studying and getting comfortable while essentially building your future. Eastern Florida State College is a five out of five stars for me.... Read 1,550 reviews

Freshman: I'm currently a freshman at Miami Dade College (MDC), and let me tell you, it's been an incredible experience so far! The variety of programs and courses at MDC is pretty amazing. they have options for just about everything. Whether you're into arts and humanities, business, health sciences, or technology, MDC has got you covered. MDC has several campuses spread across Miami-Dade County, which is really convenient. I can choose the campus that's closest to me or most convenient for my schedule. Overall, my freshman experience at MDC has been beyond my expectations. The accessibility, variety of programs, convenient campuses, flexible scheduling, diverse community, industry partnerships, and supportive faculty and staff have all contributed to making this a great start to my college journey. I can't wait to see what the rest of my time at MDC has in store for me!... Read 6,311 reviews

Sophomore: Great affordable school! I started dual enrollment classes in 2018 when I was a sophomore in high school. By the time I graduated high school, I had earned half of my AA degree. That huge jumpstart allowed me to complete my degree at 19. Although registration and other resources can sometimes be a bit of a mess, the courses and many of the professors are great. I’ve done classes in-person at the Mueller campus, and then most of my recent classes were done completely online due to the pandemic. I love the flexibility that comes with the online classes - I completed a whole year of classes online. Overall, a great school to start out, especially if you’re still trying to figure out what you want to do and are looking to not spend thousands... Read 1,360 reviews

Junior: My experience at FSCJ has been great! I graduated high school in 2006 so it was hard to get back into the swing of things. The advisors and everyone I’ve spoken with have been soo encouraging and nothing short of amazing. I often call with questions and everyone is soo patient. Wether it’s an advisor or financial aid, everyone has been very thorough with helping me. There’s also lots of class options to fit my busy schedule. I’m a single parent of 2 and work full time, there’s lots of evening options available in order to allow me to work, be a parent, and excel in my studies.... Read 2,287 reviews

Sophomore: Most might see Ringling College of Art and Design and think, “That’s a clown college!” Just like I did. And you know what? They would be mistaken. Just like I was. It wasn’t until I happened upon an instagram ad for a Major in Screenwriting that I discovered just how mistaken I was. Ringling is an actual Art School that is DEEPLY connected into the industries of Filmmaking, Illustration, Video Game Design, Creative Writing with focuses on Scripts and Novels, and even Sculpting! More importantly, the school connects students with major players and companies within their respective fields (Disney, Pixar, Blizzard, etc.). Students from around the world learn to master their craft and network through incredible instructors and connected internships. Lastly, as a current student, I have had so much fun! I hated school until I started at Ringling. Now, I show up early and stay late, doing my best to learn and discover as much as I can. Come see for yourselves. Dreams really come true here!...

Graduate Student: Orlando Tech is a technical college that cuts right to the chase for all students aiming to get their degree. Students range from high school students that arrive there as dual enrollments to middle age adults getting their education. Great thing about Orlando Tech is that it has a welcoming atmosphere and does not discriminate to handicapped students. Additionally, Orlando Tech can assist you to get a job after completion of your course and inform students about job fairs for their respected career . I don't happen to think there is any changes Orlando Tech could use since it focus heavily on getting the students their diplomas.... Read 14 reviews
