This University has ruined my life. Thanks to them I missed out on an entire year of my GI Bill. They will not send my transcripts to another college so that I can continue back at SPC. Not to mention they are horrible to those with disabilities. The policies are extremely confusing and it seems those in charge, such as admissions and advising, do not understand their jobs very well and try to give students the run around. The upper level staff doesn't like to get involved at all. This University needs some serious efficiency experts. The University seems more like a social club for rich out of state students than an educational institution. There is also very little interactive learning. It is all power points and lectures which doesn't produce results that are beneficial in the real world. I am already working in the field I am getting my degree in and learn more at my job than I have in the past year at University. They are very much behind the times in many respects. Even many of the instructors complained that the equipment is better at other colleges including SPC and HCC. Furthermore, their bad policies are part of the reason so many students do not finish school and result in unpaid student loans. The University sets students up for failure. Don't wate your time. Stick to a community college or pay the extra to go to Eckerd or University of Tampa. The biggest mistake I ever made was leaving SPC to go to this dog and pony show.
