Valencia Community College provides a huge variety of online classes. However, unlike other schools, their online classes are challenging and you still learn as much as you would inside a classroom. Also, they do not specify if your class was made online or in the classroom, so you get the same credit and the same education, but at the confort of your house and at your on time. This is perfect for anyone from full time working students to students that are parents and could use the schedule flexibility.

I never really comapred any other schools except valencia but I believe what makes Valencia unique is that is has so many campuses in Orlando. Most commuity college's only have one campus but Valencia has the West, East, Winter Park, and Osceaola campuses. This gives students like myself a more broader range of classes to attend and a campus close to your home anywhere in Orlando. I hope UCF will be as nice of an experience as Valencia has been.

Santiago

Valenica provides me several things such as convenience. There are many campuses located through out orlando one being down the street from my house.

My school ofers courses for the University of Central Florida. So when I transfer to UCF, I can still take class at my school.

Kristine

Well, first off, I attended Embry Riddle Aeronautical University my first year of college. Which is a provate university, however, it was way too expensive to continue my education there. So, by much persuasion I decided to attend Valencia Community College because it was way cheaper. Comparing the two schools, I really do not see much of a difference. Valencia has many professors that worked in the chosen career field. An example of this, is that all my professors at Valencia were either in the Criminal Justice Field or still are. Some teachers are prosecutors while others are detectives/police.

Corry

What makes my school different is that the class sizes are smaller so you arent just a number behind a desk but instead a person and the professor can relate more to each student since there arent so many and be able to lend help to everyone as well or even help a group of people at a time out of class.
