Categories Comments Food and Dining On campus the options for food are limited, but there are a variety of places to eat that are within five to ten minutes of the school. On campus there is a Subway in the student center, and a Drowsy Poet Coffee Break Cafe in the library. Personally the Drowsy Poet is my favorite, but that might have to do with my coffee obsession.
Dorm Life I'm not sure whether there is on campus housing or not. It isn't something that concerns me so I haven't looked into it.
Academic Rigor Pensacola State (from what I've seen and heard from a variety of current students) is equally as rigorous as the University of West Florida, but half the cost.
In three sentences Pensacola State is a small and friendly college. The teachers are very experienced and well qualified; they aren't afraid to push you to reach your goals. It's good for anyone who's from the area and wants to stay local.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The college campuses have their own security detail, the officers of which are generally good at their jobs. As far as I know, there have been no serious crimes committed on the campus so I would consider it fairly safe.
What to do for fun There are always some form of intramural sports and competitions coming around, especially in the summer semesters. Not to mention the science buildings Planetarium and the theatre club are always putting on shows.
Food and Dining Being located in a small city, there are a few dining establishments to choose from but there are no meal plans or anything of that nature. Besides, the school is located directly across the street from a mall so food court delicacies are always and option.
Dorm Life There are not actually any dorms available here, but there are multiple apartment buildings in the general area and even if you cannot find one close to campus the commute is not all that bad.
Academic Rigor There are some pretty challenging courses at this school, but there are also some dedicated, caring, helpful teachers on staff that will lend you a hand if you need it.

Categories Comments What to do for fun The beach and plenty of shopping areas are extremely close to campus. There are also plenty of clubs and bars.
Food and Dining No Meal Plan
In three sentences Pensacola is a great college. The professors are very nice, but willing push their students to succeed. It is a friendly and warm atmosphere with the beach within miles of the campus. Everything is within decent range of campus and the campus is not scattered but not entirely crammed either.

Categories Comments What to do for fun ATTEMPT TO GET INTO YOUR PROGRAM... 4 YEARS LATER
Food and Dining subway- eat fresh
Dorm Life there are no dorms.
Academic Rigor Your teachers will become your best friends in the end. they have wisdom we yearn for and use all efforts to help you.
Tips for prospective students Don't come here for nursing because you will never surpass the waiting list unless you pay 1,000,000 dollars for as many classes that you can (because its a competition now) and tests that you do not need.
In three sentences Don't Apply Here. At first, it was wonderful because the teachers really push their students towards their goals and degrees. Now, I have figured out the school is and will be constantly changing the requirements to get into programs; thus, the school ultimately pushes you BACK farther from graduation. I HAVE BEEN ON THE WAITING LIST FOR 2 AND A HALF YEARS NOW.

Make sure that you know that college requires commitment, time management and discipline. This is not something that comes easy, but as you get into the swing of college life it will become second nature.

Categories Comments Campus Safety We have an on campus security that will gladly escort you to your vehicle if you feel scared.
Greek Life Phi Theta Kappa. That's all, bummer, I know.
Clubs and Activities There isn't a very wide selection. All I have heard of are Phi Theta Kappa and Student Government Association
Great for these types of students It's great for local students because there are no dorms.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Our campus is so small there isn't anything out of the ordinary here on campus, besides our annual lumberjack festival. We saw logs and do all kinds of lumberjack-ish things once a year.
Bang for the buck This school is so affordable! I love it!
What to do for fun Pensacola State is just minutes from the beaches! We love to go fishing and boating. When you're surrounded by water that's all you really think about.
Food and Dining The snacks in the vending machine are grade A!
Dorm Life There are no dorms here, it's just a small town school.
Academic Rigor Academically, this school pushes you to the max, and you can only look back and be thankful that they pushed you so hard.
Tips for prospective students A helpful tip for prospective students is to learn time management! I can not stress how important it is to manage your time, know when due dates are, and just to do your best. You might miss out on a fun time with your friends, but a career in the future is so much more important.
In three sentences The faculty and staff at Pensacola State College are so friendly and helpful! It is hard to find a college where the instructors actually remember your name, I am lucky to go to a school where I am known on a first name basis. Instructors here go far beyond to help you understand what they are teaching.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Not a HUGE campus, but you do see cops driving around.
Greek Life I don't think they're any here.
Clubs and Activities PSC has a lot of clubs ! It comes with tuition so you might as well join a few! Meet new people and get involved.
Great for these types of students HS grads just starting out, not knowing what they really what to major in. You don't spend so much money if you tend to jump around a lot. Even if you don't, and KNOW what you want to major in, good place to start with either money, or slowly moving away from home!
Bang for the buck SO glad I went here for my first two years. ALOT less expensive than if I was at a university. For the same classes too!
What to do for fun You're in college. There is no fun! There's not much in the area. Downtown is pretty cool. Clubs kinda suck. If you're 21, they're OK. You can eat late I guess?
Food and Dining The Cordova mall is right across the street from PSC. PSC also has a pretty good coffee shop in the library. Lots of places to eat in the surrounding area :)
Dorm Life No dorms here. But getting an apartment my first year was the best idea. It did open my eyes to a lot of things my parents always talked about.
Academic Rigor Do your work!!!!!!!! Don't get lazy and bring back those high school ways. You will fall behind, and might have to even take the class over. That includes paying for it AGAIN. It's easier to do than you think.
Tips for prospective students Do everything early or on time! You NEVER want to be stuck behind. Financially or academically. Stay on top and read those expensive books. Might as well, right?
In three sentences This is my first year, and it's hard without any help. Fees are due early so you can be ready. My classes have all been fast paced, as they should be.

In three sentences Pensacola State is an up and coming institution. The buildings are beautiful and and the staff members are highly qualified/experienced in their respective areas.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Campus safety is amazing. I always see at least 2 campus cop cars driving around when I come out of my night classes. They actually do ticket cars in wrong spots (or without decals). Also, my favorite part, security will walk you to your car if you had to park far away or if it's dark (or if you just want to be safe!).
Great for these types of students Great school for students that want a small student population.
Bang for the buck You really do get the same education from this school as you do from larger universities, but you feel more comfortable with the material and actually retain the information because you utilize it in every class. Tuition is extremely affordable and perfect if you have siblings in college or struggling financially.
What to do for fun Pensacola State College sends out weekly emails with fun things going on around campus such as free movie night, blood drives and events in the auditorium. It's also right next to the mall, girls. ;)
Academic Rigor This is a great paced school for me because I really have to study outside of class. The course companion materials given by the teachers and school really help when taking a class. Enjoy that very much.
Tips for prospective students If you're looking for a small school with one-on-one experience with your teachers, this school is for you. There is always something going on around campus and you get to know everyone in your classes. Just study and apply yourself and you're sure to pass. :)
In three sentences Pensacola State College is a small and fun school. There's always lots of things going on around campus and you get that one-on-one attention from your teachers.

Greek Life It does not have any Greek life that I am aware of.
Clubs and Activities The SGA is active in its duties, and there is a great volleyball team for our school.
Great for these types of students It is great for someone who wants to do something in life. They have an excellent nursing program as well.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus We have a human bowling event at the beginning of the school year.
What to do for fun They occasionally set up field days, where they might bring in a rock climbing wall, or show a free movie.
Food and Dining I am in a branch off of the main campus; so, there is not a cafeteria, but there are multiple snack machines located throughout the school.
Dorm Life There are not any dorms on the campus that I am attending.
Academic Rigor All the work is based on what the teachers cover in the classes.
Tips for prospective students All I can say is to come in and try your best. It's not too hard to understand, because the teachers explain everything in a thorough manner.
In three sentences I feel that Pensacola State College is a school where someone can find the help that they need. All of the teachers are willing to work with you if there are issues, the advisors are readily available at all times. I think that this is a place that can help me move on to something great in my life.

Food and Dining The college is right next to a mall, giving ample choices to dine.
Dorm Life The college does not offer dorms.
Academic Rigor I think academic rigor depends on what classes you take, and what you are used to. A lot of the teachers aren't too bad.
Tips for prospective students If you go to PSC, just make sure you know your major. It's not too hard to go here, and it's pretty fun if you get the right teachers.
In three sentences PSC is a place where many different people can go, no matter you age, race, financial standing, sexual orientation, or personality. It is mostly accepting to everyone who applies. I've met many different kinds of people here, and I like it.

Off campus right near the school there is Wendy's, Fresh Market, McDonald, The Mall, Steak and Shake, Red Robins, Marconi Grill and many others.
Dorm Life I have no experience with this however I have heard that the basketball team is the only students available for dorms
Academic Rigor People believe the college is easy, however, I believe that instructors teach in a way students can grasp information. I have a relative who moved on and went to USF and he explained that Pensacola State was much harder.
Tips for prospective students If you can gain financial aid do so and do it in a timely fashion. The college is like any other college it takes a little time to process financial aid, so students are encouraged to do so ahead of time so no errors may be found. And if any errors are found students can correct them before classes begin.
In three sentences Very personal environment, classes are not overly crowded. Teacher focus on the success of the students, and instructors also push the students to achieve there best potential. Very friendly atmosphere, students are allowed to call instructors for help and even ask for assistance after class.

Greek Life Pensacola State College has a long Greek tradition stretching back to the 1960s, almost to the founding of the college in 1947.
Clubs and Activities Pensacola State College is full of opportunities to expand your field of learning by participating in major specific organizations and social clubs.
Great for these types of students Pensacola State College offers wonderful opportunities for students in transition, either from high school to university or returning students.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus Pensacola State College features Pensacola's only Planetarium. It's a wonderful resource for students and a great learning tool for the community.
Bang for the buck Pensacola State College is remarkably affordable and the course quality is excellent. It is a great primer for a four-year program.
What to do for fun Pensacola State College is nestled in the heart of northeast Pensacola. It's within walking distance of great dining, shopping, and apartments. Downtown Pensacola is 5 minutes away and the beaches are only a 15 minute drive.
Food and Dining The Pensacola State College Commons is a great place to grab a snack and study.
Dorm Life There are few dorms on campus, but they are top-notch.
Academic Rigor Pensacola State College is a great transitional tool for a student moving from High School to a University or for a returning student.
Tips for prospective students To those considering attending Pensacola State College, I would suggest making every available use of your resources on campus. Pensacola State College offers a wonderful opportunity to complete general studies requirements in an environment that is low stress and affordable.
In three sentences Pensacola State College offers a multitude of degree plans and transferable classes. The professors/instructors show a genuine desire to teach.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Above and beyond exceptional. Any hazard that shows itself is taken care of within minutes of it showing up, and campus police are never more than a radio call away. I don't think I've ever felt unsafe while at the campus.
Greek Life Not too terribly knowledgeable on the 'Greek Life' of the campus, but I do believe there are a couple sororities and fraternities that take and frequently accept students from the campus
Clubs and Activities I'm forced to rate this as four instead of five stars simply because the clubs and activities have a horrendously ill fated role as being scheduled at some point during somebody's classes. That seems like a horrible thing, except for the fact that the professor's who run them usually bend over backwards in an attempt to make sure anyone and everyone who wants to participate in them can and do have an opportunity in some way to do so.
Great for these types of students Students that prefer a more casual, friendly environment, while still being challenging.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus There are a slew of small get together style bbq's, concerts, and readings, among other seasonal fare that the school is constantly preparing for and hosting.
Bang for the buck Five stars. PSC is still at that point where they care more about putting out quality, efficient education than squeezing every last penny they can from their students. By far, some of the cheapest tuition costs I've seen while still feeling like you've gotten a worthwhile education
What to do for fun PSC has a good variety of intramural sports, boys and girls sports, and more clubs and societies than I think it's possible to be a part of all at once. The caliber, as far as an official rating is concerned may not be at a university level, but I have yet to participate in anything I didn't have a fun time in, or feel like my time was well spent.
Food and Dining While I won't say that anything within walking distance is more than a tasty treat to have, I have to give PSC a four star rating. There is a mall across from the campus, which has your typical food court, but within just a few minutes of the school by car, there is a pretty amazing selection of restaurants in all price ranges to choose from. I'd put a five star rating, but the school itself doesn't really have much in the way of its own dining facility, though I wouldn't expect them to.
Dorm Life Gotta put this one at an average. It's a community college, so dorm space is very limited. PSC doesn't quite handle as much out of state traffic as the local university, but they do have housing available to those that need it most.
Academic Rigor While you won't feel like you haven't learned anything, sometimes, the examples and practical app problems given while learning a subject seem quite a bit more basic than they should be. Overall though, I have yet to take a class where I didn't feel like it was challenging and worthwhile most of the time.
Tips for prospective students Start your financial aid process early, up to a year in advance, but at least six months before you expect to take your first term.
In three sentences Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff are always happy to assist a student. The student body on average is more than civilized and just as friendly. You will finish just about all of your classes feeling you've learned something.

Food and Dining I'm not sure about Pensacola Campus, but Milton Campus doesn't offer much in the way of food unless there is a special event going on.
Academic Rigor It takes more time than anything else. If you apply yourself, you will do well.
Tips for prospective students Go into the offices to talk to admissions and financial aid, and have all your information ready ahead of time. Also, if you have questions, ask the staff or a student, everyone is very helpful.
In three sentences The small setting makes it easy to make friends. The staff is always friendly and helpful. There are many financial aid opportunities.

Food and Dining There are fast food and resturants every 2 miles in this town. If you want really great food though I suggest downtown, we have vegan places, beer bars, tapas, greek, and brazillian!
Dorm Life We don't have dorms that I'm aware of, so don't come here if you're determined to spend your college career in a building swarming with noisy obnoxious students. We prefer living in apartments around here!
Academic Rigor PSC classes are more about learning the material and understanding it than cramming your head full of facts and taking tests. The material ranges from easy to difficult depending on classes and the student but you will have the opportunity to really understand what you're learning instead of just making a grade.
Tips for prospective students Decide which degree you want early or go for a general AA at first so you don't feel like you wasted a semester or more if you have to switch programs. FYI: a Florida AA will transfer in full to a Florida University, an AAS will not!
In three sentences PSC just feels more personal than other schools. The teachers are really there for you when you need help.

Bang for the buck As far as tuition goes, PSC is a very low cost school. There are many different accredited programs to choose from with low tuition rates. Loans, grants, and scholarships are also available.
What to do for fun There are many different things to do for fun at PSC. There are always things happening on campus such blow up water slides. The beach is only about 20 minutes away and there are also bars and clubs all throughout Pensacola.
Food and Dining There are no dining halls at PSC but there are many fast food restaurants around campus. Since PSC is located in the heart of Pensacola, there are many different food options to choose from.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at PSC, however there are many nice apartments within 10 minutes from the school.
Academic Rigor Even though many tough subjects are taught at PSC, the professors are always willing to lend a helping hand. The small class sizes are good too because the professors are able to get to know the students better and give personal assistance.
Tips for prospective students The only tip I have for prospective students is to study hard and play later. Even though there are many fun things to do like go to the beach, these next few years can determine the rest of ones life so school should be taken seriously.
In three sentences Pensacola State College is a very good school for students that don't want to go to a big university. The small class sizes are awesome because students get more one on one time with the professors. Along with having a good academic program, the college is also very clean and up to date.

Categories Comments What to do for fun Pensacola has many bars for those who choose to party. They also have quite a few bowling alleys, a beach relatively close, and waterparks within the area.
Food and Dining They do not have much on campus besides the subway, however, the mall is rather close to their main location.
Tips for prospective students Be consistent when trying to get an answer from them. If you are promised a callback and don't receive one be sure to call them back. Check back on things they are supposed to be doing for you to ensure they are being completed as promised.
In three sentences The directors of the departments are fairly helpful but the other representatives aren't of much help, always seem to have an attitude, and honestly do not seem to care overall about the students. I do like the fact that they offer day, night, and online classes making it more flexible and convenient for my schedule.

What to do for fun Pensacola is a gulf coast community with plenty of sunshine so a day at the beach is a relaxing way to destress from class. Art and food festivals are common fare. Watch the Blue Angels practice sessions for free at the National Naval Aviation Museum.
Food and Dining Drink machines are sporadic. Geedunks can be bought at the bookstore.
Tips for prospective students If you are going to college, then act like an adult; check your attitude at the door. Do the work that is assigned to you in a timely fashion and don't make excuses for lack of initiative. Help one another.
In three sentences The online classes available make it easy for students who work full time. The instructors - professors and adjuncts alike - are approachable and dedicated to the student's success. A small town college with a big heart, Pensacola State College is a compassionate institution.

Categories Comments Campus Safety There is constant patrol throughout the campus. Cameras have been placed to prevent any type of trouble on campus. The parking lots are highly monitored creating a very safe environment for students and professors.
Clubs and Activities As I stated previously, there are many clubs throughout the three campuses of PSC. The variety is extremely wide. This school also offers many student days to relieve school stress and even just for fun. PSC hosts many fundraisers such as Do Not Text and Drive.
Great for these types of students This college is great for students who love the small campuses with down to earth, fun teachers. The environment at PSC is very relaxed and completely focused on information without acting like a military institution.
Bang for the buck This campus is great especially for the price! This is the second campus I have attended, and this one is smaller yet the best out of the two. The classes and books are very reasonably priced.
What to do for fun Pensacola State College has many different extracurricular activities to offer a variety of students. The dance and cheer teams are phenomenal and are great entertainment. If sports is what you are interested in, the sports teams at this school are wonderful! There are also plenty of clubs offered such as the Frisbee golf and ethic/philosophy club.
Food and Dining There is just a small snack store in the Milton Campus I attend. However, the staff often have some sort of bake sale or barbecue offering many different options for the students.
Dorm Life There are no dorms at this college, however this would complete this college as a major state college.
Academic Rigor The challenges in this campus academically is the lack of professor availability. Teachers at Pensacola State College often teach at many campuses so they are often hard to find personally. However, if you email them or call their offices they do not hesitate to answer any questions you have. The amount of resources at this campus is amazing and very helpful. Between the library on campus and the online helpful hints website links, students can get everything they need and all their questions answered quickly.
Tips for prospective students This college has a lot to offer to every student. I highly recommend signing up for classes as soon as possible to avoid schedule problems, classes fill quickly. Also make sure the classes you need for your major are at your selected campus, the smaller campus often does not have certain specific speciality classes.
In three sentences Pensacola State College is a very personal and inviting environment. The staff is extremely helpful and are willing to work with you. The education level at this institution is by far up to par.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Pensacola State College has every type of student imaginable, but everyone sticks to people they are comfortable with. There are only a few Bachelor degree programs since they just changed to a four year school, but there are many good A.A.'s available. You will know if PSC is the right school for you if you are motivated, devoted and enjoy being in a smaller school.
Tips for prospective students My first piece of advice for prospective students would be to definitely look into the prices first! It might not be as expensive as a four year University but it's still a lot of money. Secondly, go talk to one of the counselors to look at the courses and degrees available.
Bang for the buck The prices for tuition are reasonable for the small size, but every college is expensive. The bookstores have good deals sometimes on the books, but not always. If you want to succeed though, it's worth the money I guess.
Am enjoying being here I wasn't ready to move out and go to a big university right after high school, but PSC was a great transition surprisingly! The students are friendly, the staff and instructors are friendly as well. Pensacola State College has many classes to choose from too depending on which of the three campuses you go to.
Am learning a lot I am going into my third semester at Pensacola State College (Pensacola Junior College), and I have to say I really am learning a lot from the classes I have taken so far. There are many interesting classes to choose from and the instructors that I have had are very friendly, not to mention they have awesome lectures!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students Remember to register fast because PSC courses are not only cheap, but very popular since several UWF students take courses at PSC that are transferable and cheaper for their own degrees!!! So register early and make sure to pay courses by deadline or else you will be administratively removed for unpaid courses by the due date of funds.
Tips for prospective students Please make sure to have all your financial aid forms filled out and ready. If you don't have an appointment with financial aid arrive during their empty hours, 8am-11am so you won't have to wait to long. Remember always to check you spyglass account to see if any financial aid information has been updated. (AND ALWAYS MAKE COPIES).
Bang for the buck Way cheaper than UWF or even technical schools in the area. Make sure you get in-state rate though because the per credit hour price difference can cost you a $400 difference every term!!! A huge difference in price, but if you are eligible for Florida-state-tuition than this school is definitely the smartest and cheapest choice for a well-rounded college education!
Am enjoying being here The warrington campus is where all of the health professions are held. The facilities are satisfactory and the internship opportunities are boundless. Teachers are amazing.
Am learning a lot The educational experience is like any other and you get the best bang for your buck! Classes are smaller and most of the teachers are very approachable and will take time to review information.

Am enjoying being here The people that go here are really nice and they always have an event for students going on somewhere. They they are near a viarity of places to eat for lunch since it's near Cordova Mall.
Am learning a lot This is a great college to go to if you are from this area and want to stay home. It's not as expensive as most colleges and the teachers are really nice, and the class times work around your schedule. They have a big selection of degrees and classes and the teachers always try their best to make sure you understand what their teaching you. This is defiantly the college to go to.

Categories Comments Great for these types of students I love school! I just wished I would have had more time to study. Scholarships really help. The worst that can happen is not getting awarded the money. Millions of dollars in scholarships are not awarded every year just because people didn't apply.
Tips for prospective students Try very hard not to work and go to school at the same time. If you decide on transferring into a program, the school is not going to look at how many hours you worked but at how your grades are. It's very important to have good grades. A lot of scholarships are based on your GPA. It would be shame to not enter a scholarship because your GPA does not qualify. Study hard all during the week, and have some fun on the weekends. Don't forget your long term goals if you decide to go to a junior college.
Bang for the buck Education is always worth your money. Just remember, it will pay off in the long run!
Am enjoying being here Try to get a lot of scholarships when you go to college. I spent a lot of my time working, because I had to pay for school. I didn't really get a chance to do any extracurricular activities. I didn't really make any new friends or get to really check out the school. I'm pretty sure I would have loved being on campus if I didn't always have to work the night shift. I remember one time I got free ice cream just for having my student id card.
Am learning a lot Go to ratemyprofessors.com. It's a great website to see what your teachers are like, before you even get to class. Having a teacher that fits your type of teaching will make your classes go a whole lot smoother.
