Additional Costs
Room and Board The weighted average for room and board and other expenses is generated as follows:
  • (amount for on-campus room, board and other expenses * # of students living on-campus.
  • + amount for off-campus (with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus with family
  • + amount for off-campus (not with family) room, board and other expenses * # of students living off-campus not with family)
divided by the total # of students. Students whose living arrangements are unknown are excluded from the calculation.

I can't believe how easy it's been to go back to school. Daytona State (currently at the Deltona Campus) has practically held my hand, and walked me through enrollment.
Donna from Deltona, FL
I learn a lot at this school, the teachers are very patient with the student, they explain the work step by step.
nisha from South Daytona, FL
From the experiences that I have had, this school is one school i can count on to learn the best. The professors are there to help you if you need help. They will help you on anything.
Jennifer from Holly Hill, FL
The teachers are extremely well qualified in their area of expertise. If there is a chance that you are not comprehending the curriculum, there are tutors located in several areas around campus. They are really helpful, and most of the teachers are lenient and willing to help you if it is needed.
Tiffany from Holly Hill, FL
Honestly, a lot of this is stuff I learned in high school. But there's a lot of expansion and classes you can take that are specific to one area of study. Those are the classes I learn the most in.
Sylvia from Daytona Beach, FL
Writing about Daytona State College is more difficult than I had first anticipated when I sat down to write this short essay. There are so many great things about this school that cramming every single detail into a certain length just seems too difficult!
From the variety of campuses to choose from, to the small class sizes and variety of understanding professors available, Daytona State definitely helped me to put myself on the right track in life. Even while I took online courses, I felt as though I had a one-on-one experience with my professor(s). There was truly never a dull moment in my life while enrolled in this college.
When I had first enrolled in Daytona State in 2009, I felt a bit confused as to what major I should go into and what field of study I should focus on. The academic advisors as well as even my disability advisor and counselor helped me a lot with this. Eventually I settled into education and began volunteering and interning at Daytona Lakes Elementary. This was a very memorable experience and also one that helped me in my future as a teacher.
To conclude my essay, Daytona State offers a variety of benefits and programs for those who seek it out. The staff and employees that work there are only interested in getting you to where you have to be in order to better yourself and your future. They try their hardest to help you if you need it, and if they see that you are struggling, they will gladly give a helping hand. Though I have written my best about this college and all it has to offer, this is certain – one must get a inside look of the campus for him or herself in order to full experience and believe anything I have said!
Jessica from Deltona, FL
Definitely getting a great education.
Jordan from Deland, FL
While attending Daytona state college I learned how to manage an adult life while pursing my AA. The professors here not only helped me stay on track but teach me valuable life lessons. In the end I would rate Daytona State College a 9.5!
Nikki from New Smyrna Beach, FL
I went to Daytona State College when I was still in high school. I was a Dual Enrollment student and I have to say for anyone debating do Dual Enrollment, do it here at Daytona State. The adviser was wonderful and helped answer any questions and all the professors were there to lend you a hand. Here you didn't feel lost in the crowd of students and you were really able to ask questions and get help from your professors one on one.
Yvette from Corpus Christi, TX
My experience with Daytona State has been very pleasant and educational. There's all different kinds of people there in every walk of life, united in their goal to make themselves better. The atmosphere is friendly, and the professors, tutors, and students are all ready and willing to help me out.
