South Florida State College is a wonderful college to attend. The atmosphere is so welcoming. I play volleyball on the team and from the time I stepped foot into the gym for a tryout I immediately knew this was home. Every person and faculty member is so friendly. The campus is clean.

Aaron

There is no on or off-campus housing but I live near the college so it works for me. The class sizes are fairly small no bigger than 30 students. On occasions the college sells food and throws may throw a holiday party from time-to-time. Overall campus life I would say feels calm and warming.

Layali

It is a great college for students living in Highlands County. It has the same classes and activities like any other university, just smaller and cheaper. It is a great size for students that do not like huge campuses and I believe that it is a great start for students who are also willing to transfer! I prefer just to take the two years at South Florida and then transfer to finish off your degrees at a University.

Sophia

SFSC was a great school to start off at, because it’s has small class size. For first timer, you won’t get too overwhelmed; yet you’ll still get the experience of being an university. Because of the small class, the teachers are better able to assist the students individually. The teachers also have set office hours and numbers that can be used to reach them. If that doesn’t work with you’re schedule, you can feel free to call them, and they’ll set up a time that works. Everything was easy to get onboard with, and it was overall a great experience.

    I waited four years from high school graduation to attend college. My advice to myself would be to continue your college education as soon as you graduate high school because there is no time like the present to further your education and career to make a small difference in your world. Don't wait to attend college. The harder it is to start back to school once you're in the habit of not going.
