    If you are pursuing a career that has a limited access program, such as LPN or RN, I would suggest living in the same county as the college. I had a 4.0 GPA and lived close to the county line of Pasco County, but lived in Hillsborough County and did not get into their program, only because I did not live in their county. I am currently pursuing other colleges because of this issue. I only wish that the college would have stressed this issue to me earlier. Other than that, this is a good college.
    Tips for prospective students

    This is a good college. Colleagues are friendly and supportive. Most teachers are passionate about teaching their classes. Staff is very helpful. The classes are easy to find.

    PHCC is great for Florida residents, local high school students, and people on a budget looking to further their careers.
    Tips for prospective students

    The biggest tip I could give is to take at least one English Composition course before attempting classes that comply with the Gordon Writing Rule. Many of the classes require MLA documentation and that is best taught in English Composition I.
    Bang for the buck

    PHCC definitely beats going to a university for the first two years of college. compared to a university, PHCC is by far cheaper. If you are a resident, i highly recommend taking advantage of dual enrollment to save even more money.
    Will enjoy being here

    Their 4 campuses are beautiful and well equipped, with a great atmosphere for both learning and fun.

    Always check with advisors to be sure that classes are available. The Financial Aid Office is available by phone or walk-in appointment and they are very helpful in getting your finances in order.

    Campus Safety

    There are security guards that patrol the campus to make sure nothing is happening to make students feel threatened.
    Greek Life

    There are honor societies based on your major, which will help you to transfer and earn scholarships.
    Clubs and Activities

    I am an ambassador and president of the Circle K International club and I would highly recommend that students find a club they enjoy or start a new one. The events on campus are always a blast and are a must for fun seeking students.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students wanting a great education without overpaying for their AA or AS. PHCC is also better for students who prefer a small campus.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Any smoker looking for a quiet smoking gazebo on the Spring Hill campus should go downstairs to the secluded, peaceful gazebo and anyone looking for a clean restroom should use the upstairs bathrooms or the bathrooms in the TLC.
    Bang for the buck

    You will receive the best education for a lower tuition rate.
    What to do for fun

    Yoga is available to all students, there is a club to fit any interest a student may have, and there are weekly events with free food and prizes.
    Food and Dining

    PHCC's West Campus has an amazing cafe and all of the other campuses always have something going on with free food.
    Dorm Life

    Since PHCC is a community college, there are no dorms available.
    Academic Rigor

    The teachers will challenge your mind to make sure that you leave with all of the knowledge that you need to succeed.
    Tips for prospective students

    Be sure to utilize every available resource such as the Teacher Learning Center, where tutors are always available for free, never be afraid to speak to a teacher or your advisor, and always participate in on campus events, which are free because of your tuition.
    In three sentences

    The staff and professors are extremely welcoming and always willing to help. The Spring Hill campus is a tight knit family who participates in all activities. I would definitely recommend this college to everyone.

    It is great for people who want to find a school closer to home. People who prefer a college with a smaller student population. People who want to save a little money while going to college. Or a student that wants to get a Associate of Arts to transfer to another school.
    Tips for prospective students

    Always look at the college campus to find out the layout of the school. Make at least one friend in each of your classes.
    Bang for the buck

    I can buy my books and pay for my classes using my scholarships. I chose to go to this school so I could save money. This college makes it easier to save money.
    Am enjoying being here

    I can find new friends and see some of my high school friends. I also like being here because I have get Professors that always like to help. The campuses are also easy to find your way around. they also have a great in school e-mail system where you can talk to your classmates and Professors.
    Am learning a lot

    All the classes are great and full of so much information. I enjoy the classes because I can choose my classes and the Professor I want for that class.

    PHCC is awesome for kid who don't quite know what they want to do for a career and are looking for a basic AA or AS degree, or for the student who do know and would like a degree in nursing, business, police, EMT. They all go to PHCC. PHCC is actually really big on the nursing program. Or if you want to transfer to a university. They also have affiliate universities. Overall PHCC is just a AWESOME school! (:
    Tips for prospective students

    Apply early and pick classes, with a new campus opening up in Spring Hill there will be a lot of new students coming in. If you apply late you might not get a good pick of the classes you want.
    Bang for the buck

    Its very reasonable to attend college here if you don't have a scholarship or financial aid. PHCC does offer scholarships though and financial aid is available. The staff at PHCC want you there just as bad as you want to be there and seem to bend over backwards to make it happen. Classes are affordable which seems to lighten the load on everyone's shoulders.
    Am enjoying being here

    The campuses are not huge so you wont get lost your first day. The staff is really friendly and there are SO MANY activities to get involved in. There luau's, and drum circles, and a lot of fun things to attend. There are also many events that include children for those students with kids or even students with younger siblings.
    Am learning a lot

    PHCC is a awsome learning enviornment, your not in those huge auditorium classes and the its an easy transition from high school to college with the class sizes offered at PHCC. Also it lets you connect with your instructors and get better one on one learning. You'll never be ignored (:

    Bang for the buck

    Tuition includes fees for programs that you may or may not be in. Activity fees, tech programs, ect. This really bothers me because I go to East campus and we have NO activities here. Maybe SGA, but other than that everything is in New Port Richey; an hour away and close to US 19. The most dangerous road in America. This is the biggest downfall for PHCC east campus. The books here are also too expensive. But then again, you can rent books from various other sites. I went to campusbookrentals.com because chegg was twice as expensive.
    Am enjoying being here

    I like how all my teachers except two or three have had Ph. D's and lots of them also teach at USF. They'll tell us students good things about both schools like classes that are exactly the same either way (because they teach it and are both accredited by the same thing). Only difference is PHCC is cheaper.
    Am learning a lot

    Right now I'm giving their distance learning program a shot. The online classes aren't very hard. When I'm at the school, I like it because I always go to The Learning Center in the Media Center and do my homework in there.

    Tips for prospective students

    I just started attending this school this year (January). So far, the two teachers I have taken a class with have been very nice and helpful. I met with an adviser once who was quite nice as well, but not real knowledgeable about the field of study I wish to enter (marine biology). Truthfully for the money, it is a pretty good college so far. I plan to pick back up with classes in January.

    Since I am 39 years old, this is my first time back in college in a while. I am learning a lot and cannot wait to continue with my education.

    Campus Safety

    i haven't heard of any campus incidents, and the staff takes every precaution in the students safety when it comes to possible danger.
    Clubs and Activities

    i don't know of any particular clubs, so i can't give much of a rating.
    Great for these types of students

    for students who love music, there is a small music store right by the school. if you continue to take the road to the enterance, and take a right, you'll soon come across the store. it's small, but very nice, and full of instruments.
    Bang for the buck

    i would say cracker barrel is the best bang for your buck. if you're really hungry, you can easily fill up on lots of good food, for only a few dollars.
    Food and Dining

    the restaurants around the spring hill campus are nice. some of the restaurantsa are panara bread, cracker barrel, duke's, and burger king, but there are many more.
    Dorm Life

    there are no dorms; therefore, no dorm life.
    Academic Rigor

    i find the professors easy to understand, and passionate about what they are teaching. they take time out of their day to help with something you don't understand, rather then telling you to go to the teaching-learning center.
    In three sentences

    i go to the spring hill campus, and i must say it is beautiful, and well kept. the professors are kind, and always willing to help in anyway that they can. for any who wish to go to phcc, i would recommend the spring hill campus.

    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    first thing that comes to my mind when i think of unusual traditions is peace week. peace week is a week where you get the opportunity to hear interesting speakers(such as holocaust survivors), participate in drum circles, make fun crafts, eat delicious foods, etc. all activities try to promote the idea of humans living in peace with one another.
    Bang for the buck

    wow, phcc offers the best bang for the buck! not only is it very affordable, but there are also so many financial aid opportunities offered through the school. i am graduating this semester and don't owe a penny to anybody. whereas, if i had gone straight to a university, i'd most likely already have debt in the form of student loans.
    Tips for prospective students

    get involved on campus! there are plenty of clubs and activities offered at phcc. what a wonderful opportunity to make friends with people through a common interest and/or objective. stay focused and dedicated to your academic work. also, stay on top of your textbook reading for classes. not only will the lectures/teaching reinforce what you've read, but you'll also be able to contribute to class discussions.
    In three sentences

    phcc is an excellent college! the professors come from various careers, backgrounds, and teaching positions, so students receive a quality education just as they would receive at a university. also, the price paid for this education is extremely affordable!

    be sure to register as early as you can and it's better to get the information you need a semester or month before your semester begins. that will allow you to have better chances of all questions and concerns you have to be answered.

    the college is fairly safe and offers some safety features. they have a system called phcc quista alerts that e-mail or send text messages to students about any safety/emergency threats on campus. there are also security guards that survery the campus and parking lots on a regular basis. overall, i feel pretty safe when on campus.

    students who want to take prerequisite courses at a smaller college for a cheaper cost in the hopes of transferring to another college to earn a degree should really look into enrolling at pasco-hernando community college.
    Bang for the buck

    the cost of tuition and fees are amazing for students who have limited financial aid or scholarships. the low cost of attendance was actually the factor that drove me to enroll here. the school does not offer as much activities as larger colleges, but at the cost the resources available are still excellent.
    What to do for fun

    the campus offers a couple of fun student activities. there are a good number of clubs, including the student government, and these clubs sometimes host their own events. there is a sports type of activity club and if you are ever bored students can head over to the student center. in the student center friends can watch t.v., play billiards, and ping pong.
    Food and Dining

    there is only one food vendor/dining establishment on the campus. the food gets pretty good reviews and the menu includes salad, chicken wrap, and chicken strip combo. the prices are reasonable but the only inconvenience is that you can only pay with cash.
    Dorm Life

    my campus does not have on campus dormitories so i am a commuter.
    Academic Rigor

    in high school, i was used to a very rigorous course load that always kept me busy with writing research papers and outlining notes. i have to say that all of my classes are straight forward and not as much of a challenge compared to some of my high school courses.
    Tips for prospective students

    whenever there are events being held on campus that give away food or any other type of freebie or activity, go early because they run out of supplies/food very quickly! i've found most students to be very friendly and it is super easy to form study groups for classes!

    Campus Safety

    The parking lots are pretty well lit. They have security guards (the quantity depends on the campus size). I have never seen them in action but I have never seen any crimes committed either.
    Clubs and Activities

    The clubs that are the most popular are the Student Government, Gay-Straight Alliance, and Psychology Club. They also have bible studies.
    Great for these types of students

    Great for students looking to save money and earn an Associate's. It is also beneficial for anyone whom is unsure of what they want to major in because it is less expensive and you can transfer to a public university that is best suited for your major after earning your Associate's.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    They have different events such as Peace Week and sometimes you won't even know what the occasion is but it is fun to have participate.
    Bang for the buck

    PHCC isn't nearly as expensive as most public and especially private universities. The sponsored events almost always have free food.
    What to do for fun

    The lounge is a good place to meet people and watch television. You can bring game consoles and hook them up and play with your friends. About every other week they will have some event going on with activities and free food.
    Food and Dining

    It really depends on which campus you are attending. All campuses have a school store with a few snacks and sell ice cream. There are vending machines at all of them that usually have Cup-O-Noodles or sandwiches in them and others with drinks, candy, or snacks.
    Academic Rigor

    It isn't very rigorous. The core classes are similar to the ones you take in high school. If you are looking for more rigor, they offer honors classes.
    Tips for prospective students

    Online classes are difficult if you aren't motivated. The campuses are nice and if you aren't too concerned with which location you attend, you should get to know all of them and find which one you like best. Go online or ask around about the teachers before you are locked into the class and take advantage of the drop/add dates if you find that one teacher might not be a good fit for you. Also, try to take classes with your friends, provided they won't distract you too much.

    Pasco-Hernando Community College is a lot more invigorating then most people credit. The campuses are interesting in their own ways and the people in the offices have always been helpful. They almost always have an opening in the class you want.

    The campus feels beyond safe! The faculty members and students are all so hardworking and friendly. Pasco-Hernando (Spring Hill) has a campus that is only about 4 years old so its extrelemly clean and organized. I haven't recognized any hazardous behavior/building condition.
    Clubs and Activities

    People who are striving different degrees ranging from psychology or nursing, there are always different clubs that involve the academics the school provides in the classroom, or aspects that take place off campus. There are so many options that make great time passers and ways to make friends.
    Great for these types of students

    Someone who is very calm, wants a distraction-free environment and enjoys a small populated facility.
    Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

    Every school in the states is different from one another, so it will always seem unusual to someone who has never experienced it before. Nothing I can really pick off the brain right now.
    Bang for the buck

    If you're a Florida resident, be thankful! Our tuition starts at $2,500 and goes up from there. Anyone who studies at our school who resides elsewhere, will find their tuition and other school/personal charges starting at $10,000 and higher. This is a Community College however, so any expense here would seem more realistic than a university for those who find themselves on a strict budget to avoid debt. You can't put a price on education, after all, it is the only thing you have that will last forever & NO ONE can take that away from you!
    What to do for fun

    A lot of my friends who attend, like to promote their band around campus. Even though they do not play in the band for school, it gives everyone a chance to watch them play on the weekends and bring students together. (I made a lot of friends this way)
    Food and Dining

    The cafeteria is above average. Kiss your high school lunch food goodbye. Our cafeteria has better quality and choices.
    Dorm Life

    I myself, do not live on campus, only have a 5 minute commute from home. However, my friends who live on/near campus absolutely love life being part of the school. It's not the party scene you see in movies. Its very calm and worth the tuition (from what I hear and see).
    Academic Rigor

    Some students fresh out of High School can be a bit unsettling, but the staff definitely keeps everything free of distractions so you have a relaxing and stress free environment to study and focus in.
    Tips for prospective students

    I would suggest that hands-on or visual students (such as myself) take classes on campus rather than online classes. The staff members are wonderful and work with you at your own pace. It's definitely a great visual experience which prepares you for your career. I don't like to call it school, I love to call it career training!

    The campus itself is in great condition, since its only about 4 years old. Pasco-Hernando (Spring Hill) is very beautiful, laid back, and completely free of distractions.

    For half the price you pay at another university, you can take the same classes at PHCC and stay local. It's a no-brainer really.
    What to do for fun

    Aside from the usual sports games, the college also hosts many events to raise awareness of specific causes and unite students. Last week they hosted Peace Week accompanied with music, food and guest speakers. Often times there are yoga classes offered among the laundry list of other activities.
    Food and Dining

    Along with coffee stands and the Quista cafe, there are many snack and soda machines on campus. You'll never go hungry, that's for sure!
    Dorm Life

    There are no dorms for this school.
    Academic Rigor

    Just because this is a junior college, that doesn't mean its curriculum is any less rigorous. The professors challenge their students and grade just as any other college would.
    Tips for prospective students

    Take the time to sit down with an advisor so that you can be assured you have your priorities straightened out. There can be many steps to the application process that seem overwhelming but the counselors are there to help.
    In three sentences

    The campus has a very beautiful and welcoming environment. Class sizes are small so that students have the opportunity to connect with their instructors on a personal level. Overall I have found the college and its staff to be friendly and inviting.

    Grab a study buddy. Pair up with someone who's schedule is conducive to yours, and arrange a study time to meet, either before or after class to review. Also, it helps to have a couple phone numbers from classmates, if you are ever in a jam and your study buddy isn't available immediately.

    At the campus there is a couple of things you can do for fun. There is the student center that offers pool table, ping pong, game consoles and a TV. There is also a gym for basketball, workout, and dodge ball.
    Food and Dining

    I will give the food dining no stars. The reason for this is because, we really don't have any food campus, just vending machines. And as far as dining there is no cafeteria, just tables outside.
    Dorm Life

    The east campus that I'm currently a student at doesn't have dorms.
    Academic Rigor

    I wouldn't want to say that our academic rigor is perfect, but this college does have great academic status. The classes are small and you can get one on one with your teacher. You will actually feel like a student, not just another number.
    Tips for prospective students

    The tips I would give for prospective students is know what you are going to college for. If you are confused there are great programs that this college offers. From getting your AA and transferring to a public university to getting a trade. Another tip is make an appt ahead of time to meet with an academic advisor because the walk in wait time is long.

    The Quista Cafe is the on campus cafeteria, and has decent food for a decent price. I didn't go there regularly, but the few times I went, it was enjoyable. You can get burgers, salads, coffee, and a variety of other things. The burgers are made fresh, so you have to wait a few minutes, but it beats something sitting under a heat lamp, for sure.

    Tips for prospective students

    Don't rely totally on the academic advisers. Read the student handbook/catalog and be very familiar with what all the policies are, and what classes you will need if you're planning to get an A.A. degree. The advisers are pretty knowledgeable, but it is ultimately your responsibility to pick the right classes and make a schedule that gets you graduated without wasting too much time or money.
