#3 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Sophomore: Out of all the in state and out of state schools I was offered admission to, I chose this school because it has the BEST biomedical and health sciences program in the entire state. On top of that, there are tons of opportunities that the “swamp” fails to offer such as internships, meaningful volunteering, and research that is crucial for a resume, especially for a pre-med. I am going into my summer semester as a 4.0 student studying health sciences and minoring in chemistry and all I can say is that if you’re pre-med, UCF is the obvious choice. Heck, even if you aren’t interested in pursuing medical school UCF is still hands-down the best school in Florida and I would argue in all of the country. The school spirit is amazing, campus is breathtaking, students and staff/faculty are friendly, and overall this school is the best. I couldn’t have chosen a better school to attend! Go Knights!💛🖤⚔️

#10 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Sophomore: Florida International University has been an enriching and diversifying experience! I've come across many like-minded individuals who strive to take on every day challenges to accomplish what will someday become their future. From among those individuals I've made incredible friendships, and created not just a loyal but loving support group! College is a wonderful experience that has taught me to two great important lessons, to ask (it never hurts to reach out for help) and to fight for what you want to achieve. Once you've found the major for you its just a question of hard work, determination, and finding the right fit for you. Talk to your professors! Connect with them! Because you never know what opportunities might arise from that interaction! Keep a planner, meet up with your advisor (get to know them!), keep track of your credits, and honestly have fun! This is the time to expand your horizons, and find out who you really want to be! Make smart decisions and define your future!

#19 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Graduate Student: My current experience with Keiser University (KU) thus far has been a wonderful one! Currently, I am pursuing a doctoral degree in Industrial and Organizational (I/O) Psychology in an eLearning setting. This is my first attempt at completing an online program and KU have been so helpful and incredibly patient with helping me get acquainted. It has been nearly 10 years since I completed my last two graduate degrees. There have been so many technologically advances implemented, it makes it difficult to get back into the swing of "student" life, while having a career. Nonetheless, I am eager to tackle those anxieties and with Keiser's support, I am sure I will reach my goal. The faculty and staff have been so accommodating. They are an efficient team that works effectively together with assisting and serving the student body. Having a staff such as this, keeps the students encouraged, focused, and diligent about completing the goals.

#33 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Freshman: My experience at NSU so far has been amazing. There are small class sizes, apartment -style dormitory options, and many great scholar programs. Being a part of the programs has opened many doors for me. My program affiliations allow me to earn my Masters Degree in Elementary Education in just 4 years! Professors at this school get to know YOU. NSU is a private university, whose student body is mostly made up of Biology majors. The diversity on campus reaches a global range. The university is located in Florida, and it is attended by students all the way from California, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Denmark, etc. There are no parties on campus but plenty things to do in the surrounding area of Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Athletics are Division II.

#36 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Niche User: FAU is an exceptional university! I am so glad we chose this school among the other schools in which my daughter was accepted. The school is esteemed from the administration throughout the staff and faculty. The opportunities for growth and internships are made readily available. The welcome committee prior to my child's arrival was the best ever. Each department works hard to keep everything going in an extraordinary fashion. My initial dealings with Financial Aid, Admissions and the Hospitality department convinced me that FAU would be my daughter's school. The diversity is unbelievably head and shoulders above the rest. Needless, to say, we will miss FAU as my daughter is due to graduate this semester.

#38 Best Hispanic-Serving Institutions in America
Sophomore: AdventHealth University is a school for the most determined students. Every student has one, same goal- to work in the health field. The campus and class sizes are very small, which promotes strong relationships between students, professors, faculty, and peers. AdventHealth is also a faith-based school. It will not force faith upon anyone and AdventHealth is open to all faiths. This school helps connect you to your faith, only if you would like to include your faith in your studies. I have never been to a school that cares for you as much as this one does. Everyone here truly wants you to succeed. Here, you will always have help and a bright future ahead!

St. Thomas University - Florida

Freshman: The University of St Thomas is an incredible school I highly recommend it. It is an academically rigorous university and attendance is required in most classes. If you choose this school, be prepared to stay engaged in class, participate as much as possible, and study daily. Aside from education, the facilities on campus are top-notch, I recommend checking out the fitness center it's huge and so beautiful. There is a ton to do off-campus, lots of shops, restaurants, bars, and coffee shops. If you're looking for more nightlife it's only a quick drive from the Florida A&M University! I can recommend this school highly enough.

Junior: I made the best decision to go back to school to pursue my bachelors at Hodges University back in 2016. If it wasn’t for Erlis Abazi helping and assisting me throughout the whole process; I would not be attending here. Erlis has been the most helpful, attentive, knowledgable employee at Hodges. He always goes above and beyond for all his students. I go to him for every issue or little thing to ensure it gets promptly on time. I highly recommend attending Hodges University- specifically ask for Erlis!

Hillsborough Community College

Alum: Glad I got the education for free, but their online class offerings were substantially less than in-person classes and their office staff was a mess. Professors would often require more supplies than the school authorized (making me, a dual-enrollment high school student, pay for them). The system is not friendly to new students.
Otherwise, most of my professors were great and I enjoyed many of the classes I took!

Senior: Barry University is an exceptional University. I had no prior knowledge of Barry until one of my professors from MDC mentioned it. I am very thankful he did. I am 100% certain I made a wise choice in choosing to attend Barry University. I truly believe that Barry University is a hidden gem. I love how "small" the University is in comparison to the larger ones within the state. I believe it really does help foster a warm and welcomed learning environment from not only the Faculty/Staff, but the Students, as well. Professors are more than accommodating, and understanding any and all needs the modern student requires. That is another fantastic thing about Barry University. We pride ourselves in our inclusive atmosphere. I don't know of many Universities that have as diverse of a student population, as well as faculty. We have students from literally all over the globe. This is definitely NOT a "party school", so if you're serious about your studies, Barry University is the place for you!

Freshman: I believe Valencia College is the best college! This state college is very urban and has a huge open campus. Our campus is filled with many different resources, such as the College and Career Center and Valencia Foundation. In fact, we also have a Math Lab for tutoring and a Student Services Building for guidance. I believe this college provides students with the tools for success! The professors pushes students to excel and professional colleagues are always available to guide students to have a successful educational journey. Although student housing isn't available on west campus, there are plenty of events that takes place throughout the week. For Instance, FREE FOOD! Everyone loves the sound of that! These events also encourages students to network and get involved with certain clubs and organizations. If your thinking about excelling greatly, please enroll into Valencia College!

Indian River State College

Junior: The administration such as advisors, financial aid, assessment center and book store are all amazing. They all go above and beyond to make sure each student has the tools and ability to succeed. I was having an issue with financial aid where I didn't meet the standards academically to receive the help. The financial aid advisor and the academic advisor went above and beyond working non stop with one another to help me appeal the decision. Because of the team effort I was awarded the financial aid and have been on the Deans List ever since. The teachers are just as great if not better then the admin. I would recommend this school to ANYONE! I cannot express enough how much IRSC has helped me and continues to help me become the Teacher and student I want to be in life.

Sophomore: My experience at miami dade college has been, to say the least, resourceful. the teachers there are wonderful and are well equipt to attend to any of the needs students may have. Miami Dade College focuses not just on the academic part of their students' lives but also on the emotional aspect of it. They hold mental health events where there are free massages and have a counselor on campus to help with the stress of life. My online experience with this college was absolutely great! The transition to online was very smooth. I've been going to Miami Dade College Eduardo Padron Campus to work on my pre-requisites for the Nursing program. This campus is very organized, professors are good and overall a great experience for what I came to do. I did not take online classes. The transition to online was very smooth.

Palm Beach State College

Junior: I literally call Palm Beach State College my second home because of the environment being so homey! I love PBSC because the class sizes are an intimate size of the maximum number of twenty students and most of the professors make time for one-on-one sessions just in case the student need the extra help to understand the concept or method being presented to them. PBSC professors also make time for their students when they are going through something and just need someone to talk to. There are many resources available for PBSC students to use because of the college partnering with many vendors and non-profit organizations. Resources such as housing, food stamps, school clothing store, food pantry, medical services, and much more. Every six months, the health department comes to the college to provide free HIV, blood pressure, and other tests to all PBSC students and the community.

Junior: The professors and counseling are all very helpful when you are in need of help! I have never had a bad experience with a professor. One thing that needs to change a little bit is definitely the living space for the students that stay there. They need better dorms. Also, there needs to be a more variety of food in the cafeteria. Maybe a Starbucks or something on campus!

Sophomore: I love Broward College because it's very close to home. The tuition there isn't too expensive for In-state students. The teachers and courses are very flexible especially when taking it online. The online courses are the best so far. Every teacher communicates with their students and grades the assignments as soon as possible. I find it easier because I can dedicate my full time and attention to what I need to learn and if I need help, I know the school has tutors on campus for FREE! That's amazing! They library is open late for anyone who has a busy schedule.

Sophomore: I love FSW! Just like most, I was reluctant to stay close to home to finding my first two years and earn my AA. I can honestly say, that going to FSW has been one of the best choices I could have made! It is a smaller school, which means you have a chance to actually connect with peers and professors! The professors and staff genuinely care and want you to succeed. There is also a decent amount of clubs and activities to be involved it if you seek them out. FSW is one of the places where if you don’t look for the good you won’t find it. After attending FSW I am not only leaving with a great education, life long friends, and connections but feel ready to succeed in my next two years at University and beyond. Thank you FSW. Go Bucs!

Senior: I have attended South University for three years majoring in psychology. The school is small, but that is what makes it so nice. Faculty and staff are always available to students. An example of how attentive the university is can be found in the following anecdote. A student was unable to attend graduation ceremonies the previous week. The staff actually staged a mini commencement just for the student. That is praiseworthy!

Sophomore: Riverside is an amazing college if you re pursuing the medical field. They offer an extraordinary amount of programs there like LPN, RN, X-ray tech, and physical therapy. I would however like to see them offer loans for school. They aren't eligible for student loans and this could help a lot of students not only pay for college, but build their credit as well.
