Valencia College Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?

Adriana

I honestly don't really find anything bad about Valencia College. The worst thing would be that not every campus offers every class, since I live closer to East Campus I would rather not drive 30ish minutes to get to West campus to take a class.

Rebekah

Valencia's advisors do not seem to always direct you in the right path.

Jeremy

The parking has got to be the worst thing about Valencia. The lots are always full and in the Florida heat a good parking spot can keep you dry from both the rain and sweat. If you have a class anywhere in between 10 AM and 3PM be prepared to walk a good distance.

Danielle

I really do not have anything bad to say about my college.

juan

Maybe the long wait to see a person at the answer center.

Danielle

The worst thing about my school was there was no varsity athletic activity.

Nicolette

I would have to say the financial aid system. During the course of the 2012-2013 school year, I had two family members pass away. At that point in time I was paying for my classes out of pocket. After my uncle died on September 26, 2012 from stage four colon cancer and two days later my dad comitting suicide, I stopped going to school out of grief. When I decided to return, my financial aid was denied.

Jessica

My only problem with the school was that they didn't have much going on on campus. I'm pretty sure this is just the way that community colleges are but it would be nice to have had more campus events and groups to make the students feel more united on campus.

Sharlene

I think they should fix the way students register for classes, because it is somewhat hard. I was used to a better system. Another thing I did not like from this college was that most of the time they did not have classes open on my nearest campus, only at the main campus.

John

It can be hard to know when things expire or are due (applications, test scores, etc.).

Aineth

On busy days it is definitely parking. It can be quite havoc to find parking in early hour classes.

Rubie

I do not see anything bad about my school. So far, my school has treated me well.

Samantha

I really cant say nothing wrong about the school yet because i really havent been in any classes to experience anything.

Leticia

Honestly, the only worst thing about college in general is that it's expensive. I think they should offer students more financial aid. because theirs actual students that want to go to college but can't because of school tuition being so high. Also I think Valencia should offer more scholarships to help pay for education. These days without an education your nothing. A college degree helps you succeed in life.

Anthony

The worst thing about Valenica Community College is the amount of computers that the college has, I believe more computers should be put in the library since there are more students attending the college.

Aimee

I love my school and can not think of anything bad about it.

Deondre

I think the worst thing at Valencia is nothing. i could name a few things but nothing to major to call the worst.

Jamesy

The worst thing I consider about my school would be it's accesible materials. Currently, there are only around five usable printers for the students in the campus, few books to rent from the library, and barely any class materials such as scientific calculators that are provided for us.

Luis

the worst thing about my school is the traffic along with the parking. The amount of student to parking ratio is not so good. and where the school is located isn't in my opinion the best . it get's rediculously congested as far as traffic goes.

Alicia

Some of the classrooms are the worst part. Some still have chalkboards and lack the proper audio equipment.

Shannon

The only thing I can complain about is the parking. Sometimes it's hard to find a parking spot, but if you get to campus a half hour before class, you shouldn't have a problem. This is not too much of a complaint, because parking is free.

Rebecca

The worst thing about my school is how much is has grown in the past couple of years. The growth isn't in itself a bad thing, but it sure makes finding parking harder.

Susanne

One thing I dislike at Valencia Community College is the way lab classes are set up. For many other schools, a class is taught and the lab is standardized in order to make the schedule more flexible for the students. At Valencia, if a student were to select a teacher, the student must attend the teacher's specific lab. This may seem silly, but when juggling three or four lab-classes it gets very complex trying integrate each classes's schedule.

Natalie

The absolute most worst thing about my school are the long lines when having to register for a new semester. Other than that its your typical college!

Michelle

I believe is the smell around the campus. It is not very pleasant to walk around the campus and be smelling ackward smells.

Sabrina

The worst thing about my school is the fact that they don't have my major. I'm taking the prerequisites to get into a program at a University. My school has many majors relating to Social Work. But there is still no Social Work.

Samuel

The worst thing about my school is that there is no on-campus housing. It would have made relocating so much easier.

Mariliris

The worst thing about my school is that it is very populated so its hard to sign up for all the classes you may need for that perticular semester.

Bao

The worst thing I would consider about my school is the food. Even though the food are good, but it's the part that everytime I eat there I have to use the bathroom. It's not just me, it's the same with everyone.

Lindsay

The worst thing about valencia is the parking lot. Even though there are so many lots to park in, they get full rather quick.

Fabiola

no parking

Bradley

The thing that I consider the worst about my school is that it seems as though communication between the school and students is not very strong. Sometimes it seems like the school emails students about upcoming events or deadlines only a day or two before they come up. This makes it very difficult as a student to schedule these things in so that you are prepared for them.

Bryan

I like it so far, nothing bad to say!

Kristine

I consider the worst thing about my school is that there are students there who do not care what they do. Its a Community College, no one expects Community College students to do anything with thier lives. I know that is kind of sad, but that is the mind set of many employers. If you had a student who completed two years of Community College then went on to a University, then had a student who went to a private college all four years, who do you think they will pick? Bingo! I'll go with the private college student.

Fabiola

The people that are supposed to help you out are not easily accesible to help and dont always know how to help.

Andrea

The limited capacity of spaces for new students in the specialized programs. It would be nice if there was not a wait time to start the program.

Evelin

The worst thing about Valencia is making sure that you get the help you need from advisors in what classes you should take and the requirements you need.
