Gulf Coast is a well known, successful college that is known for their achievements. They impact the lives of not just young students, but mothers, fathers, elderly people who still have dreams. It is a relaxed atmosphere and the professors go out o their way to help as many individuals as they can. My opinion is one of thousands, but I can certainly say they are postive ones! I sincerely love my college.

It's a very good school to start with straight out of high school, while living with your parents. The student body is always looking out for the other students. There's a gaming room that has video games, bean bags, and a pool table that you can unwind between classes.

Gulf coast State college is very much a diamond in the rough. It is a very well-rounded, friendly and motivating environment and I could not be happier to be attending. The advisers and students are extremely helpful. It is almost like an extended family for me. And my professors want nothing but the best for their students. The art, technology, medical and culinary programs are amazingly creative and worth looking into for sure. The school provides great places to study and unwind, amazing food and a lot of open space. You will definitely find beauty in the campus art and the classrooms at well. I love the school and it's amazing staff.

  2. What should every freshman at your school know before they start?

    If it were possible for me to go back in time and talk to myself as a high school senior, I would definitely tell myself to be prepared. I would make sure that I knew how much effort I would have to put forth in order to be successful in college. I would make myself start putting in twice the amount of time spent in class, at home studying. I would be a lot more serious about my decisions and study all of the majors/career choices that I was debating on a little more in-depth. I wouldn't of taken the transition so lightly and would have prepared myself so that I wouldn't make the same mistakes my freshman year of college as I did in high school.
