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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Start with some of the easier classes like English 101 or Intermediate Math, if this is your first experience with college. There's a student help center where you can get free help with your homework, and a writing center to get a second opinion on your paper. With all the help around, all you need to do is ask.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
So far, I think the most difficult classes I've been in were Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2, as well as College Algebra. The professors were extremely helpful; they made sure that any questions you had were answered and explained everything in the best way possible. I love the caring approach that the professors take towards their students.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
At DSC, there is no housing available, since it's a community college. Around the Palm Coast campus, however, there are condos available that out-of-state students could use. Personally, I just stay with my parents. It's closeness to home is one of the reasons I chose DSC.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Though they don't have a cafeteria on the Palm Coast campus yet (they're building one now as of this writing), there are excellent places to eat around town. Thai-by-Thai has authentic Thai food, numerous ethnic grocers, and a hand-full of fast food places.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
- Shopping at Kohl's or Beall's for super deals
- Going to Flagler Beach which is only fifteen minutes away
- Thrift shopping around town
- Curling up with a delicious book at Flagler County Public Library
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
History Club, Psychology Club, Pheta Kappa Club, Annual Poetry Slams... Lots of cool stuff. :)
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
If you have late night classes and you're waiting for a ride, the campus staff won't leave until you're ride gets there.
