I graduated from the University of Florida in 2014 but I'm back in school to become an RN. I chose to attend Santa Fe instead of being a Gator for various reasons. Either way, I'm so glad I did! The classes are very intimate and the professors actually care! I love this college!

Great school
Overall 4.8
You NEED to apply yourself at this school. This is not an “easy” college as some people might assume. Some classes are extremely difficult, as they should be. Most of the professors are truly amazing. I have gone to other schools but finished my first bachelors at SF and am working on my second. Overall I am extremely happy with this education.

Great campus with many great teachers
Overall 4.8
Love it here! It's a great place to start as a Freshman. Class sizes are smaller and the professors are concerned if you make it! Prices are affordable. SF College prepares you for the University level or straight to work.

Santa Fe College is an amazing school with several professors who excel in every category that is considered for a teacher to be great. They offer plenty of advising as well as opportunities to be engaged in Student Life/Government. Students are well treated with a clean and safe campus. I am sad to leave after 2 years because it was a lot of fun.

Came to Santa Fe College far away and it quickly became my new home. I love the atmosphere on campus and with the people. Santa Fe College and Gainesville FL will always have a special place in my heart.

Such a miserable time here. Do not, do not, do not. I strongly advise against staying here if you don't have to.

Dropping out after what a horrible experience I have had here. They took away my advisor and refused to help me register for classes next semester, even after a month of contacting everyone I could. No one but the teachers are helpful, and the campus police targets minorities such as lgbt+ folk. Waste of time, money, and energy. Disgusting school.

No one helps you get set up in any of your classes. Its crazy how much the staff doesn't care about you here.
