Categories Comments Great for these types of students Career oriented, mature and looking for a career not just to go to college collect student loans and mess around.
Bang for the buck Expensive but you have to look at the college and the success rate for this college, great placing rate.
Food and Dining Food is ok and if you don't like it then many places around the campus to go eat at.
Dorm Life No dorms.
Academic Rigor They challenge you and you must know your studies, they put you into the field that you study so you get hands on experience.
Tips for prospective students Consider all your avenues when considering a college many colleges want you to take alot of elective credits that you really don't need. If you can find a college or university that handles your degree and they are a career college don't hesitate check them out even though they maybe alittle more expensive.
In three sentences Best college ever, they have small class sizes and are able to adhere to each individual student. Career college you have a externship which many colleges do not offer. Professors and staff very professional and very helpful with any issues you may have. Great college!

Categories Comments Campus Safety security staff on campus
Clubs and Activities there is usually always some sort of outside activity going on but less than a typial university

Categories Comments Campus Safety It's in the worst part of town.
Clubs and Activities I heard they used to have better clubs, but now not so much going on.
Great for these types of students Low income, non-traditional
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus If you don't like the teachers, you can make up a lie and they'll fire them! It's a good way to make sure you get good grades.
Bang for the buck It's expensive and the money is hidden. You never really know what you are paying for. It's a for profit school, which means it is like a money mill.
What to do for fun The school is a joke enough.
Food and Dining We have a microwave and some vending machines.
Academic Rigor It's easy. The goal is to just pass us without making us work.
Tips for prospective students Be aware of schools that advertise so much. REAL schools don't need to advertise; they can stand on their own good reputation. SWFC cannot.
In three sentences Worst school ever. Good if you like constant change, ever higher prices, and a school in the flat-out ghetto. Plus, there not accredited and you won't get a job after.

Categories Comments Food and Dining The campus I attend is the Institute of Design and is a rather small campus site. They do have a lounge area with vending machines or you can store your own food in the fridge. Very convenient. There are also local restaurants/drive thru's near by for other options.
Academic Rigor Class schedule moves quickly but everything is already laid out for you and makes it a lot easier to handle.
In three sentences Although my classes have not started yet, I am extremely pleased with Southwest Florida College. The admissions and financial aid staff were very friendly and made the process of applying to school effortless. I highly recommend this school for future students that want to go somewhere, where they feel they can achieve their education goals with no hiccups.
