If you want close relationships with your fellow students AND with your instructors, come to FSU-PC. You aren't just a number here! FSU is rated among America's top universities. You'll get a quality education and a degree from a university that's recognised for producing outstanding leaders!

One of the best decisions I've ever made was to choose to transfer here. This place is absolutely amazing, and the engineering school will challenge you in ways you didn't know possible, but you will be a better engineer for it.
Overall 4.1
The Panama City campus of FSU provides a personal and attentive learning experience -- The staff and administration are dedicated to their students and do everything they can to ensure that they succeed -- The only gripes I've had while attending have been the parking situation and lack of food variety on campus.

Fsu pc is no better than gulfcoast in fact some of the professors that teach at fsu pc also teach at gulfcoast some simultaneously other swap between campuses every so many semesters or years. Lots of people like to dish one campus and prop up the other but about the same, though fsu pc is much smaller, elitist, and liberal arts focused.

Being a local means nothing at FSU PC, even if you have long well proven track record of success, this is a very small clickish satellite of a college, if you don't know and aren't in with the right people well before attending this institution or can't get in good within the first 5 minutes of attending you'll always be an outcast and bullied.
Overall 1
They don't care about cybersecurity nor any kind of data privacy here. The entire institution been negligent with the security and privacy of their computer systems and all data they store including student,staff,professor, research,etc for many years. They have suffuerd numerous data breachs over the years and have done little to nothing about it.
Overall 1
Much of this school's technology is outdated and neglected. In terms of curriculum this insituion barley has anything technology wise and their so called computer science and engineering programs are more liberal arts focused. This is more of small libral arts college thats very clearly a tiny satellite of its distant mother.
Overall 1.1
This campus is over-rated and over-hyped, at the best this place is nothing to right home about. the only thing its got goting for is that is on the edge of the bay though it has no beach or anything just a muddy and sea grass filled bay. There is no social life here, the campus is actually quite empty. Most of the classes you take here are online.
Overall 1.2
Their drone program is terrible, they barely have anything and what they do have doesn't not algin with what you would do on the job. Much of the curriculum is outdated, irrelevant, and poorly constructed. Its largely overhyped and nothing like what they market it to be. The program requirementsare also overexaggerated
Overall 1.3
The FSU PC campus may be marketed as having a personal and attentive learning experience, but for most students that's not the case unless your related to someone employed here whos in good with the higher ups. This campus barely has anything to offer and the learning experience here is far worse then the main campus and most of the other campuses.
Overall 1.3
The campus which is very tiny and smushed together on a small plot of land is really bad high crime neighborhood with a long history of trouble. A first glance it may look ok with some days better then others but once you scratch the surface and take a closer look at thing you see that this is very trouble place and really have to watch yourself.
Overall 1.4
The electrical engineering programs are really disappointing, the curriculum is really outdated and fail to take truly take into account and incorporate many of the recent developments in the field. Sure the program has its fanboys who are good friends some of the professors sometimes to the point of a conflict of interest but most find it awful.
Overall 1.4
They bearly offer anything here, much of the courses for the degree programs here you will have to either take online or at another college there really not much of anyting here. It seems like the list of degree program here gets smaller and smaller. Most of the so called new programs advertised are just online programs out of its mother in tally
