South Florida State College Reviews
Rating 3.72 out of 5 374 reviews
Personally, my experience has been good other than a few misunderstandings about scheduling. But those were fixed when I worked one on one with advisors on campus. South Florida State has very understanding teachers and a very accessible campus with tons of resources. If there was anything that I could change, it wouldn't be anything of a substantial need. It could be something as simple as making sure the soap is in restrooms. There isn't anything that I would recommend to be changed.
I am a dual-enrollment student at South Florida State College. Taking courses at SFSC has helped me get on track for an earlier high school graduation while gaining college credit hours simultaneously. The courses have been enjoyable and challenging, and have also put me on track to pursue a career in my desired field: neurodiagnostic technology.
The teachers are quite flexible and well knowledgeable in their areas of expertise. I have not had an issue of late grading or teaching. Most courses have an online option as well as a physical class. Despite restrictions due to COVID, the school still manages to keep school events going with social distancing and masks.
They still keep up with school clubs and free lunch meet-ups to discuss informative topics concerning education and life planning during college and after graduation. The campus is safe, as there is always security riding around keeping an eye on the school grounds.
SFSC does have housing available to full-time students at the Jacaranda Residence Facility, though I have not stayed at the dorms there myself. I believe the sports have been delayed due to the pandemic, but they did have volleyball, track, and baseball teams.
The only downside is that there isn't much going on locally and there's not much of a party scene. But overall a decent college.
