    Am learning a lot

    A lot of people put down community colleges, but I have been able to learn a lot due to the small class sizes.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love the personal feel of this school, the classes are small and all of my professors have taken the time to learn a little about me and my fellow classmates.
    Bang for the buck

    Definitely worth the tuition cost, community colleges are cheaper than big universities. It would be wise to go here to get your AA if you plan on doing a 4 year or more degree!!
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't goof off, especially if you just got out of high school, college is a lot different. You are more responsible for yourself, most professors will not say anything to you if you do not turn in your work.
    Great for these types of students

    Those wanting a personal and small college. It's easy to find things and the classes are small.

    The teachers here are all very student-oriented. They take the time to give you their office hours and various ways to contact them if you are having trouble and if you do ever happen to go by, they'll be there to happily assist you. There's also a fantastic assortment of tutors and assistance to help you on your way and through your classes in the centers we have here.
    Am enjoying being here

    I love Jacksonville and the college has that smaller, high school feel to it. The campus is beautiful, speckled with flowers, sculptures, and new age architecture, and there's plenty of things to do! If you're waiting for a class to start, why not go chill out in the Japanese zen garden? It's so simple to navigate and if you don't know where you're going, the entire first week of class there are people there specifically to help you out. The people are all sweet and the landmarks are gorgeous. Jacksonville is a great place to live!
    Bang for the buck

    For a school of this quality, it is definitely not as pricey as it could be. Some of the top teachers in the state and even more prestigious than that have been hired to mold some of the finest minds from people who sometimes didn't even know they were capable of such feats. Financial aid is also there to help you whenever you need and they are more than willing to pull some strings for your individual circumstances.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a great school for first-time college students. If you happen to mess up, the faculty are more than willing to help out and try their best to give you advice. Most of the classes are very similar to high-school classes and due to the smaller class sizes, you get a lot more individual time with your professor to maximize learning.
    Great for these types of students

    First-time college students. Students looking for small class sizes and a high school feel. Students looking for a smaller, easier to navigate college. Students looking for friendly, accepting peers and understanding faculty. Students who want to test out the waters and find their major.

    I enjoy Florida State College. The college itself offers so much for their students and there is a lot of activities for students to join. They also have sports for those who are into sports and play sports.
    Bang for the buck

    This college is a great way to start because first its cheap to start at and you are not paying so much for your first two years in college.

    There are classes on basically any topic imaginable. In the end you get the same piece of paper with the same powers so why not get it all at half the price?
    Am enjoying being here

    The only complaint is that the counselors are not always available, once you get one you have to hold on and stay in touch. Besides that it is enjoyable.
    Bang for the buck

    Saves families a lot of money.
    Tips for prospective students

    Get to know your counselors, keep up with dates and don't forget to talk to professors and classmates as often as possible.

    All types of students, just because it is a state college does not mean it is of lower quality. Students from the top of their classes or the bottom go here.

    This is a great college if you are looking for small class sizes. There are no huge auditoriums where the professor is talking to no one. The student to teacher interaction is unbelievable. Having the capability of asking questions in class is very evident. All the professors I have had are very clear about what they expect from you, and know their stuff!
    Am enjoying being here

    The campuses are spread all over Jacksonville (a huge city!). Some campuses are older than others and it can be a little aesthetically unappealing at times, but you are definitely not paying tuition for renovations. Usually campuses have a Subway in their cafeteria. Familiar food is always welcomed.
    Bang for the buck

    Super cheap tuition compared to surrounding school. If you are serious about your education, this is a steal for what you get.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't miss out on this great opportunity. If you are wanting to get your A.A. or A.S., this is a great place to do it. This school also has a large amount of students who transfer to other universities. If you want to take some classes here and save some money, then transfer to another college, no problem. The staff is very supportive of that decision.
    Great for these types of students

    For the past year and a half I have been able to obtain my Associates in Arts Degree from the school through a wide variety of staff and class selections. The general studies requirements for the school have allowed me to explore a large variety of subjects that I wouldn't have throught to take part in.
    Am enjoying being here

    Overall my experience with Florida State College at Jacksonville was very pleasant. All of the teachers I had were exceptional and seemed to actually care about the student. They understand what your goals are and do their best to make sure that you achieve them.
    Bang for the buck

    Florida State College of Jacksonville offered a large curriculum that was offered at other local universities for less. Even though they have branched from being just a community college to being an accredited college, they still keep a relatively low price range.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always keep up with your financial aid. It's not always the school's job to be in charge of your aid, you are. Also, browsing for scholarships is one of the best opportunities a student can take. The school has a large staff that would be willing to sit down with you to determine which scholarships you are qualified for.
    Great for these types of students

    Florida State College of Jacksonville has a broad student body. Overall I would say that the school is great for anybody but especially returning adult students, single parents, and those who work full time or part time.

    Many professors that teach here actually work in the feild that they are teaching, for instance, the science department are filled with experienced doctors and nurses that really encourage their students to work harder. Many professors here have a laid back style of teaching and the smaller class sizes enable them to fully give each student the attention that they deserve.
    Am enjoying being here

    It is an enjoyable experience to attend school here since each student can choose what campus pleases them the most, with over 5 campuses spread throughout the span of Jacksonville and more, a student can be sure that their travel to school shouldn't be more than 15 mins or so. There are always activities going on, and even interactive things like video games for charity, in which of course many students interact, and also many meetings for self awareness that give out free food every week. A major plus for college students.
    Bang for the buck

    The tuition at this College is very affordable. Does not mean that this school is easy just because it is not a University, you must still work hard, and it is competitive, one of the top in the nation when it was still officially a community college. the teaching here is of quality, and the health departments rival that of the local univiersities.
    Tips for prospective students

    No matter where you go, you must work hard. How you do in college will determine your future. Decide your major, time is moving quickly, and choose something that will be worth your life in the long run. Grab every opportunity that arises, do not hesitate, and get to know your professors, never hesitate to ask a question.
    Great for these types of students

    This school is great for all types of students. Young, old. those interested in furthering or starting their education, this college offers a variety of bachelor degrees with majors in careers that are in demand in this generation..

    Like any school, how much you learn depends on the teacher and the student, but there are some teachers who can make you just say wow. For example, I had a World Religions teacher named Dr. Turk, who was not only a Episcopalian minister, but he had good friends who were Muslim and Jewish, which gave him a more personal perspective on how they live their lives.
    Am enjoying being here

    I have taken classes at 3 of the campuses: The Kent Campus, the Downtown Campus, and the Cecil North Campus. From what I have experienced, each campus has its' own atmosphere. For example, the Kent Campus is more of a laid-back campus, with many students who hang around with their friends in the courtyard and the cafeteria (Which has a meeting room and a game room inside of the same building). The Downtown Campus is the most busy of the Campuses, as it is the headquarters of the college. People will often crowd the main hallway walking to to their classes or to the offices. It is also the most diverse of the campuses, where many people of different faiths and cultures converge. I only spent one semester there and I made friends with someone from Africa, another person from Haiti, and I have even met Buddhist monks from Southeast Asia.

    With that said, if you're looking for a party atmosphere at this college, you might want to look elsewhere. There are a few events that go on during the year, but they're not wild parties.
    Bang for the buck

    FSCJ is primarily a community college so the cost is relatively low since you don't have to factor in costs such as Room and Board. The books that you have to buy are often quite pricey at the book store, but you can buy most books off of online sites such as Amazon for a cheaper way to get your study materials.
    Tips for prospective students

    You get what you put into it. If you put in zero attention and effort into a class, you will get nothing out of it.
    Great for these types of students

    Going to this college is great for pretty much anyone, since the campuses have such contrasting styles. Anyone with any personality can find a place that suits them.

    It's definitely worth the money.The class sizes are good and the teachers are helpful.You can print things out for free and play in game room or the gym.Pretty much everything is free except for food/drinks and classes/books of course!
    Tips for prospective students

    My tips are to study hard and to take college seriously.It's not high school anymore.Get to know your teachers and classmates.It will help in the long run.

    the staff is so helpful.
    the teachers really enjoy what they do.
    everything on campus is so easy to find.
    Tips for prospective students

    always come to class on time and be open to teachers if you need extra help, they are always willing to stay late and help. there is tutoring for math and reading and it is free to take advantage of that. when you sign up for classes, go to the rooms and make sure you know where they are and where the closest bathroom is before classes start, so you don't have to worry about getting lost on your first day of school.
    Dorm Life

    i cannot rate dorm life because at fscj there are no dorms, no one lives on campus.
    Food and Dining

    i give the dinning a four out of five because the food is always great and hot, they are people there to cook and others keep the dinning area very clean. they did not get a five because they kitchen is closed on the weekends.
    What to do for fun

    there is always something at fscj to do for fun you just have to ask around. there is a rec room to play pool and games and there is always some band or play, maybe a guess speaker to come out and talk to the students about something. i don't take part in much of that because i am always studying, but i hear that is it really fun.
    Bang for the buck

    the classes and everything is priced fair, but i do prefer to buy my books online, but other than that the classes, food and extra events are great. also, most of the stuff that goes on at fscj is free for the students.
    Great for these types of students

    if you like to have fun in a safe and welcoming environment, then fscj is the school for you. the teachers and staff are so helpful, one can see that they really do love and enjoy what they do. i absolutely love fscj and would not go any place else.
    Clubs and Activities

    many clubs and activities, but i do not take part so i cannot commit on any of them.
    Campus Safety

    i could not feel more safe if i tried. everywhere i look there is a campus guard walking around. fscj have installed this boxes all around the parking lot for people to push the button if they need help. the parking lot as well as all around the school is well lit and if you have a late class, you can ask one of the guards to walk you to your car. it is as safe as having you own personal guard.

    overall the school is a little easier than a major university. but, just like any other college if you start procrastinating and not doing your work you will fall behind and end up not doing well.

    Food and Dining

    Great for these types of students

    the school is great for students who aren't really sure what they want to major in or what their goals are in their studies.

    I would have to say that although this isn't the best college ever it's a fairly decent college. The location of the campus I attend is convenient. So far, I haven't had a bad professor at Kent Campus.
    Tips for prospective students

    Don't buy books from the book store. There's a store called college book rack, go there. Or, see what books you need in advance to school starting and look for them on ebay or even Amazon. Also, stick to classes at the campus closest to you, and use the professor rating site as much as possible.

    Kent Campus is a great place to attend FSCJ if you want to be away from all of the confusion associated with some community colleges. The majority of those who attend want to be there and do not use the school as a social activity. There are social activities, but school is not a social activity and not loud like the downtown campus where the major is social life and dating services.

The course are filled with very competent professors who expect a student to do the work assigned, but does not babysit a person to do it. Most professors do not accept late work. Late work is not accepted in the workplace, therefore why accept late work in the school preparing you for a JOB.

    a few tips that i would give a prospective student would be to request information from the school itself to better assist you with any questions you might have. schedule yourself a college tour of the campus so that you can see if they offer all of the resourcesthat you are looking for in an educational facility. finally, do not waste time, register for classes as soon as possible because the classes do fill up fast.
    Academic Rigor

    i would have to say that the only academic rigor that i have found at fscj is that the classroom environment is a little tough because there are so many students per professor, so sometimes you have to figure things out on your own or wait until the end of class to ask any questions.

    when buying school supplies don't buy them out of the bookstore because they are way over priced. the only thing you should buy out the book store is the books you need for your classes. like $50.00 for an backpack i can get out of walmart for $9.99? or a $20.00 calculator, i can get out of dollar general for $10.00? when buying school supplies for new semesters, and new school terms, buying them out of stores like walmart, dollar general, and family dollar you'll save aton of money. plus when buying clothes walmart, dollar general, and k-mart are great for good cool clothes for a way cheaper price. better than going to the mall paying $30-$40 dollars for a plain t-shirt, and $40.00-$50.00 for jeans. when you can go to k-mart/walmart and get the same outfit, and spend $15-$20 for both, and have money left. if you wanna buy namebrand clothes wait til they go on sale,like sneakers for an example $90-$150.00 for apair of sneakes, for that money you can get 4 pair at payless, and walmart and have tons of cash left. like why buy a pair of jordans for $150.00, when you got a pair of $40.00 addias thats on sale for $20.00?

    Florida State College at Jacksonville is a great school for those who wish to save money and get a quality education before they transfer to a University. All of the professors I have had, have been above average. I also, enjoy the options of taking classes online, hybrid or at the school. I have been so grateful for the online classes. I work full time and would not be able to attend school if they didn't have them.

    Am learning a lot

    I'm learning more about the type of people that work for the college, as opposed to becoming (more) educated about my major course(s) of study.
    Am enjoying being here

    I do not like taking the classes in the platforms provided outside of Blackboard; very confusing.
    Bang for the buck

    Did learn a lot

    The professors at FSCJ will teach you a lot of stuff that you don't even know. The work load for classes is mediocre, and it's definitely worth it when you go there.
    Did enjoy being here

    I enjoyed being at FSCJ, because I had friends from high school that were there. Since I was going to FSCJ for my A.A. Degree, I had paced myself with my classes and before you know it I had graduated. During that moment, it was kind of bittersweet, because I was ecstatic to leave but I was going to miss the atmosphere of FSCJ.
    Bang for the buck

    When I went to FSCJ, they had reasonable prices if you're going for your A.A. or A.S. Degree. I don't know what the price range is for the Bachelor's Degree's at FSCJ, but I think it's reasonable.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be organized and plan out your classes ahead of time. Don't overwork yourself, because it will create a lot of stress and you probably won't do well in your classes. Also, please and I mean please, choose your professors wisely!
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students who currently live in Jacksonville and aren't ready to leave home yet from there parents or guardians. Great for students who have high GPA's, because they can always join Phi Theta Kappa (Honor Society) and have a lot of opportunities for scholarships.

    Bang for the buck

    This is a great school that encourages meeting with campus advisers to make sure you are on the right track for your program of study. The professors care about the students and facilitate a learning environment. The only thing I would warn prospective students is that online classes are $10 more per credit hour.
