Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Students have to be open to the help and advice that is offered at FSC; it's easy when the professors' enthusiasim is contagious. The small community holds options for recent graduates to obtain jobs because the area is riddled with alumni who are more than willing to help out an FSC graduate. Although the amount of different social and academic groups may be fewer than what is available in a larger school, students have many more opportunities to hold leadership positions and gain experience through clubs. The smaller size also gives students more opportunities to participate in campus events, such as free Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuits on certain Fridays.

FSC is unique because of the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. A point of pride at the school, the buildings have a sense of prestige because they are all exquisite. The absence of bland, boring buildings makes the environment for learning much more appealing. FSC is distinguished as one of the top 10 most beautiful schools in the nation for a reason.

Good place to learn, but needs to welcome itself to the next generation of students. Deaf ears to those who want change that most community colleges offer.

Dude, This Place Is Lame.

It's like an overgrown highschool. I love the people but it's too hammered down.

My experience as FSC has been awesome so far. I have made a great group of friends and we have so much fun participating in campus activities and laying out in the Florida sun. Our school is so close-knit and personable, it feels like a second home. I would definitely choose Florida Southern again because it meets all my needs academically and personally.
