I think this school has made great progress. They are expanding the school by building another building and the school has recently changed from a community college to a regular college. In addition, there will soon be more programs available for the students. So with all of this it has heighten my thoughts and feeling about Valencia. I really like the professors and the small class sizes. This allows for more individual training and is a great school for prospective students.

Valencia College is a excellent school. The faculty staff shows much interest in the student's studies, academic achievements, and goals while attending school as well as the students plans future plans after completing college level. Teachers all seem to follow the textbook method of teaching class but all seem to some how relate problems, solutions, and concepts taught in class to a real life situation. In my view really, this strategy and method of teaching helps a student understand how we can relate and use what we learn in school in our daily lives. My favorite department at Valencia College is hands down the Science Department but I do admit it is much for the reason that I am deeply fascinated by science, the environment, and the world we live in. I would encourage any student that is just starting college or has taken a break or just are not sure what they want to do in life to give Valencia College a shot to help you with guidance, care, encouragement, and outstanding support. The staff and the school will open your eyes tho the many things we all have the ability to do.
