Rating 5 out of 5
I enjoyed my experience at Palm Beach State College and gained so much not only from my professors but also from my classmates and friends in school. I like going to the library because it is a place for me to study or catch up on my upcoming schoolwork. The professors and staff members of the school have helped me with my financial goals, graduation requirements, and the classes that I must take for the following semesters. I would gladly recommend going to Palm Beach State College if you're looking for a safe and comfortable place to learn and earn either your associate or bachelor's degree.

Rating 5 out of 5
Palm Beach State College is a well-rounded state college that offers a diverse range of academic programs at an affordable cost. The faculty are knowledgeable and committed to student success, providing personalized support. While I believe the campus could use some upgrades in certain areas of its facilities, the overall educational experience is excellent. I appreciated the convenience of multiple campus locations throughout the county. Overall, I would highly recommend PBSC as a wonderful option for students in the Palm Beach area.

Rating 3 out of 5
This community college receives a rating of 1 out of 5. Its facilities are outdated, with limited resources and equipment. The academic programs lack depth and relevance to current industry needs. Faculty engagement is minimal, resulting in a lack of support and guidance for students. Overall, it falls short in providing a quality educational experience and preparing students for their future careers.
