I enjoyed this School. It has wonderful teachers and a fairly challenging curriculum.
Overall 4.1
Excellent school and campus. MUCH better than either Bradenton or Lakewood Ranch. Set back in the woods off 41. Very small student and faculty bodies which allows for long lasting relationships to be formed. I'll gladly travel from North Sarasota to Venice instead of North Sarasota to Bradenton right up the road in order to reap Venice's benefits.

This school is absolutly terrifying none of the advisors really know what they are talking about and to top it off they change their program requirements and pre-requisits all the time without giving you notice. This school was the biggest mistake I have ever made I transfered over to Tallahassee Community college was the best decision i've made

This campus is very crowded and its just too small. Never enough parking spaces, there is about 10 public computers in the enitre library. The ARC is nosy and very crowded,and good luck with getting any help with math practice...I left SCF to be a transient student at Edison State college.

The people who work at this college could care less about you. I asked one question and was sent to talk to 4 different people who all had no idea. I also had a problem with one of my teachers and was sent to talk to the board chairman who basically told me to suck it up. The rudest and dumbest people work for this school. This school is trash.

The people who work at the school are probably some of the dumbest adults i have ever met. Anything you ask them completely flies over their heads. I asked one question and was sent to 4 different people across campus. I also had an issue with one of my teacher and met with the board who told me to suck it up and get over it. I hate this school
