Northwest Florida State College is an amazing school and great sports team. My only wish is if they had more bachelor’s degree programs. Worth the money and time.

So I just finished my final year here. The price is great and location is perfect for those who are local but not really worth traveling for. Theres lots of common areas to hang out at but having collegiate right next door brought in a lot of weird kids that would invade the cafeteria. Food is great. Good for those looking for a side education

food is cooked by Culinary Chefs you have so many options. Get there early as anytihing left over from culinary events gets served first. they also now serve breakfast. Great professors willing to work with you.

If you like personal attention and not a herd of students than this is the school for you. Small schools really hold you to your work and make you feel more like you need to get your daily work done. Great for your grades though. Not just exams that you study for.

I absolutely adore this school! They just put in a 4 year program for teaching and when people ask me where I'm going to transfer to I tell them 'here, I'm staying right here. It's perfect!' Practically in down town Niceville, has campus' in multiple locations and very affordable and the professors really care about you. Seriously the best college!

This college offers a great selection and has truly amazing professors. Most of my professors love what they do and it shows in their dedication to their lessons. I have never had a professor who wasn't willing to give me their time to explain something further in detail. I cannot say enough good things about this college.

Admissions was terrible and unprofessional.
Overall 1
The locations of NWFSC are small which would make an individual think that this university would try to help its students succeed; this is a wrong assumption. Admissions was the worst I've ever had to experience in my life; the staff needs an update on how to interact with students. The only saving grace would be some of the faculty.
Overall 1.4
The cafeteria food is horrible and over priced, and the operating hours for it are useless. I feel like my only option is to eat at the barns and noble starbucks and all the workers there are very rude or ignorant. registering for each semester is such a pain! no online option for FL Prepaid. More money needs to go into new teachers and classrooms.
Overall 1.5
This by far is the worst college I have ever attended. I was constantly calling or emailing trying to get them to fix so many errors they made. They are incredibly disorganized, lose information, couldn't fill out my scholarship form correctly over and over again, and even tired to deny me my degree because they made an error on my profile.

It is sad that this school is the only option for our area. Very few professors bother to teach, you cannot contact anyone directly (it's only students who will not connect you to a department), and financial aid offers no help AT ALL (even though the website claims to offer help for all students). I am so disappointed with this place.

Worst college I have ever gone to. Their are a few hidden gems for professors but for the most part they are all retired and suck at teaching. The counselors are horrible as well as the administration. Could not get any of my forms correct or processed and did not release my fin aid in time. I hate this school. Do not go! unless you want white hair

um. Basically a community college posing as a State College. Complete commuter school. Has ASAA degree options and few BSBA degree options as well as certificates but hopefully you want to leave after you get your AAAS. Caters to different learning situations. Nothing great about this degree mill but hey; the IN-STATE prices are hard to beat.
Overall 1.8
Took 1 semester of class here before I figured anything had to be better than this. Administration personnel are curt and unhelpful. Professors aren't bad but the ones I had are bored and frustrated. If you can afford any other school take that option, don't waste a term figuring out what I did.
Overall 1.8
Well they have WiFi all around, when it works. There are little to no student activity groups. They have little high schoolers running around acting stupid. Overall, just a commuter college with nothing to brag about. The cafeteria is almost never open and the library closes early.
Overall 1.8
No social activities are available. Admin staff is very selfish and not helpful. Many of the professors are great. There are not many clubs. The school tends to cater toward blacks for the publicity, which is rather sickening. Overall, everyone in the area goes here because there is just no other place to go to school.
