Read What Students Are SayingSince i started attending, I've been enrolled in the Pre-Architectural Program. When started, I did not know i had any drawing skills, as time went by, i managed to complete several renderings. I've learnt several different techniques on how to bring life, movement, and color to a 2-D sketch so it would become a 3-D drawing.
Math courses are very well taught, if by any reason, i happen to not fully comprehend the lecture, i can always visit the math-lab. There are about 4-5 tutors at all times, very well prepared, very polite and very friendly.
There are numerous ways of getting any sort of help, online-tutoring, 24/7 online-librarians, resource center, etc.

Miguel from Niceville, FL
Northwest Florida State College is a great place for students who are not ready to leave home yet. The faculty and staff are very helpful and nice, and the campus is small and secure. There are also many campuses to choose from so you can go to whichever one is closest to you.
Rachel from Shalimar, FL
There are some pretty good teachers here, but there are also some pretty bad ones. The trick is finding ones that match your preferences. Just don't come here if you plan on majoring in Chemistry.
Jordin from Niceville, FL
The class sizes don't exceed 30-ish students which gives oppertunities for questions to be answered and a deep understanding of material to be obtained.
