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 562 reviews

Alum: My experience at South Florida State College was great. Every professor I had was helpful, respectful, engaging, and overall made the school feel very welcoming. The staff at the Desoto campus were always helpful in anything I needed and very encouraging when I needed help. I liked how it was very easily accessible to view your classes, schoolwork, and overall upcoming dates.... Read 380 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: 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: One of the first things that drew me to TCC was its size. The classes are smaller, averaging around 30 students. It's much more personal than a university and it's made finding a community and accessing help much easier for me. My development of relationships with my professors has also gotten much better. They actually have time to meet with and counsel me instead of being swamped with 100 students a class. It's amazing. A few things I would like to see change include the upkeep of the campus. It's a bit dated. It almost feels like a time capsule back into the 90s which might be nice for some. However, they have started some excellent renovations in one of the student halls next to the bookstore which is promising. It would also be nice if the Financial and Cashiers offices showed more hospitality and kindness to their students. Attitudes there can often be bland and unconcerned. It almost feels like students are a burden but they are supposed to be there to help us!... Read 1,461 reviews

Senior: I can't say enough about my time at St. Petersburg College. I am finishing up my degree in Public Policy this coming semester. Everyone has been extremely supportive and I was so impressed with how they made the process as easy as possible. Obviously you have to put in the work, but you will never feel alone. The business office, student support services, and every single professor made the experience positive for me. If you have thought about finishing up an associate or bachelor degree - do it! I promise it will be much less difficult than you're thinking.... Read 2,683 reviews

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 1,558 reviews

The advisors are always so helpful and kind, and make sure that every student they come across is taken care of. It is a misconception that Daytona State is a bad school; you get what you put into it, and there's no shame in it. I love Daytona State!... Read 1,646 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 6,347 reviews

Other: My experience with Florida Southwestern State College has been good! I have learned new things and have had very informed professors about the subjects they teach. The campus is beautiful and has many opportunities and accommodations. The faculty and staff are very welcoming and inclusive. Not only this, they are very inclusive and offer Duel Enrollment for High School students which offers many opportunities and preparations for these students to experience the college lifestyle. The Collier Campus needs to improve its overall look and presentability as it is very outdated.... Read 1,679 reviews

Sophomore: The first thing I can say about Indian River State College (IRSC), specifically Massey Campus-- I haven't been to the other campuses-- is that my experience with advisors has been the best. The advisors here are so thorough and understanding, even if that means supporting your goals of going to another school. They genuinely provide comfort and the best advisory for your personal ambitions. If I could change anything, it would be the professors! It definitely depends, but I would say some professors here should not have the ability to teach...I'm sorry, but I'm being truthful. What I do love is the atmosphere of the school. Even though it is small, so there is not much student life, but the staff makes do with what they have and I love the intention of inclusion and support/community for the student body....

Graduate Student: The professors were excellent! I had many that engaged with their students, always ensuring the class was on everyone's level while also going at a pace where everyone understood the assignment. The professors also weren't pushy and didn't pile up work on students, they understood we had lives to tend to and made it manageable to work with. The school and faculty themselves also were elementary and forward going, if you had a question it would be answered, and if we had opinions about something they never went unheard. The campus itself was very safe, I never had any issues of being scared to walk from the building to my car, and I made friends very quickly and connected well too. People on campus were non-judgemental, very open, very spirited, and fun to laugh and hang around with! Great school and I would 100% recommend it to anyone going to college for the first time!

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.

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 1,287 reviews

Freshman: I think Broward College gets a bad rep of being an old, stinky community college. The truth is, it is very modern and up-to-date with the best resources to help and aid their students with their specific career pathways! I wish however, that they would change their image so it is more aesthetically pleasing to people who hear about this college! The same way people eat with their eyes, people attend universities with their eyes, wanting to go to the absolute best, most prestigious school. If Broward College can change their image, they'll receive many more incoming applications. Different representation, better public impression!... Read 4,218 reviews

Senior: SCF has make it easy for me to get my degree! I am in my 40s and have three teenagers. I work a full time and a part time job and I have been a girl scout leader for 12 years. Five years ago I started taking online classes part time and was able to acquire my AA. After getting my AA, a SCF advisor told me that I only needed three more classes to get my Business Management Certificate. After taking the three classes, I actually earned both my Business Management Certificate and my Business Specialist Certificate. Then I started taking Bachelor's classes. I'm about half way through the bachelor's program now. When I call SCF they always answer the phone. It is ready to get an actual person on the phone to help me. The advisors are quick to respond to emails also. SCF participates in many scholarship opportunities that has made my education affordable. The campuses are easy to get around. Clean and secure. I enjoy getting my quality education from the State College of Florida.... Read 1,125 reviews

Sophomore: -Hello! -One main reason why I applied for Hodges University is because I was fortunate enough to obtain a scholarship and I happen to be searching for colleges at that time to pursue my academic path and be a successful graphic designer. -When I was in High School, I was overwhelmed with anxiety, stress, etc. I was unable to have any friends throughout my Sophomore to Senior years because I couldn't trust, or befriend, anyone due to a lot of things I was going through. So, when I first thought of going to college I thought it would be a nightmare. -But, Hodges University had completely proved me wrong. Hodges is very flexible when it comes to in-person and online studying. I have had a condition throughout my entire life that hinders my physical life, and those at Hodges were very kind and understanding to me. Depending on the class, the workload is extremely manageable, eliminating a huge amount of stress. -I definitely recommend Hodges for anyone looking for a more casual college.... Read 279 reviews
