Bad reviews

Miami Dade College, especially the Padron Campus, has a strong reputation, I have had some less than favorable experiences. In particular, I found the honors college to be somewhat elitist, with a focus primarily on individual advancement, often towards Ivy League schools. This has created an atmosphere that felt exclusive and self-centered to me.

The school is honestly depressing
Overall 1.9
The academics isn't the problem, it's the environment that is (people will steal from you). The schools public safety staff does an absolute atrocious job at keeping the school secure. They insist on bothering students and when they're actually needed they'll argue with you & refuse to do their jobs since they prefer to sit around and do nothing.

Is not a good college , just go if you no have other chance
People always give you bad information and you have to go a lot of times to advisement or student services .
I had to took 3 courses because 4 advisors told me bad information and the courses weren't useful for my AA.
