Review of Florida Gateway College

from Lake City, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Great professors but the student population is less than perfect- many don't care and make it painfully obvious (verbally) that they are going to school mainly for the pell 'refund' they will get. Makes classes annoying when so many are distracting by talking, missing classes, etc.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

same issue as above, majority of student's shouldn't be in classes- should take more remedial ones- so many professors are having to 'lower the bar' when it comes to teaching - making classes boring and annoying for those of us there to learn.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

very affordable so no complaints there.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Be prepared for classes before your first day- so many students show up without the basics that are so easy to find out about before classes begin (books, paperwork, pencils, etc)

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you are extremely smart and an overachiever - you may find many classes boring and annoying because of the other students and how the instructors are forced to change lessons based on the majority of learners- more often that is very very basic and slow.
