Valencia College

College Is Involved in the Student Experience

All areas of the college are involved with helping students find their career path, do well in classes and get involved in school. There is many clubs and activities and many offices that hold workshops or other events to inform students about job opportunities, classes, majors, study abroad programs and financial aid. Professors here want the student not only to get material from textbooks, but they also want to teach through digital media, clips, power points, group projects and discussions. Professor want the student to be engaged in discussions and want the student to see what it is really like to work in the different career fields.

Being a Nonresident Is Expensive and a Hassle

I am being charged 3 times the tuition than if I was a resident. Because I wanted a better life for myself than living in Alaska, I sold everything and moved to Florida (with my 4 children) with the intent that I would be able to transfer without any major hiccups. That has not been the case, however. My old school took 5 weeks to send my transcript, then the new school took 3 weeks to review and input my credits from my transcript. Thus resulting in me missing deadlines, stressing out, crying, not sleeping well, the list goes on with my frustrations. So I am enrolled finally but my tuition and fees is outrageous because I have not lived in this state for one year.

I Am a Very New Student

I just transferred to this school and am a very new student this is only my 4th semester taking classes. So I cannot comment or review the post-grad until I am a post-grad at Valencia CC.
