Review of Seminole State College of Florida

from Altamonte Springs, FL

Did learn a lot

I absolutely learned a lot at Seminole State College! Coming into the school I was not expecting to be blown away by the education, but I definitely was. The professors are nothing short of remarkable. They are intelligent and clearly knowledgeable in their fields. Even more importantly they are passionate about sharing that knowledge, which makes learning all the more fun. I was hardly ever disappointed with a class, and I always felt like I was learning. The professors at Seminole aren't just about getting you through with a passing grade, they actually want you to learn and to engage with the material. Their effort clearly shows in how much I was able to take from my classes.

Did enjoy being here

The five semesters I spent at Seminole State have been some of the best in my life. This is mostly due to the amazing faculty and staff. From highly qualified professors, to caring administration, to clean bathrooms, I was never disappointed with Seminole State. There is always so much to do, so many activities to be involved in, that I was never bored. It is obvious how much Seminole State cares about it's students.

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

Seminole State is cheap compared to other Florida Colleges, and it is definitely worth more than what I paid for it. The professors are over qualified, many of the ones I was privileged with having doctorate degrees, and they are passionate about teaching. The campus is actually quite beautiful and is under million dollar renovations. The new library can be described as luxurious. There are computer labs available at several different sites. The class sizes are small, in my experience ranging from 13-32. If you seek it out, you get personalized attention from administration, counselors, financial aid counselors, and professors. There is tutoring included in your tuition. The school does its best to provide students who need it with working and employment opportunities. I couldn't be happier with how I spent my first two years of higher education.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Get involved!! My time at Seminole State was incredible and life changing because of my decision to get involved with Student Activities such as the Student Government Association, Phi Theta Kappa, and other clubs and organizations. I had the opportunity to make very close relationships with the Student Life faculty, which has opened up several doors for me. Leadership Retreats are free to students and the best possible way to spend a weekend. I learned and changed so much from being involved, and I can't recommend the Leadership Institute enough! Stop by the Student Life office at C-102 for an amazing opportunity. Also, if you have a 3.2 GPA, join the Honors Institute! The classes and professors are amazing, and the other honors students became family. You won't regret it!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Anyone! Traditional and non-traditional students alike are welcome and encouraged at Seminole State!
