Fantastic school! Extremely organized, friendly, and helpful! Always answer the phone!
Overall 4.5
This is a beautiful campus and igives central Florida an academic center that had not existed twenty years ago. It is my home away from home. Teachers and students smile at you. Lots of places to meet up. Amazing after hours culture, theater and art. I don't know why a state college has to be so expensive, but SFSC is a big value for the $$

Excellent School, they really care about your future! They offer loaner laptops if you need one for classes and free library card, you can also register at your local library for Udemy through Gale and Linkedin Learning for free from your College / Library.
They have great food and a wonderful atmosphere and the professors are kind and helpful!

Behind in academia standards. Better to go right off to a four year college if you can. Doesnt really prepare you for the harder classes offered at state universities. Kind of a continuation of high school.
Overall 1.6
Absolute disgusting school. Staff are extremely rude, I didn't see any assistance with financial aid to tons of students, ultimately leaving them to deal with debt. Weirdos on campus are harassing females and nothing is being done to fix the issue, wandering around campus daily. Professors are extremely unprofessional, rude and judgy.
Overall 1.9
Horrible school. A lot of favoritism for those in sports, family, and friends of employees. Heard a lot of things that were not professional. All students are not created equally. They bump up grades of those they like so they pass. Seen this happen numerous times.

Good school to get an easy AA, but did not prepare me for harder university classes.
