Eastern Florida State sponsors a youth golf camp in the summer. It is a top-notch program for FREE. The entire staff and volunteers are THE BEST! Kids have an opportunity to learn about golf, respect, and other critical values that are needed for life skills. Thank you for the opportunity. The campus is also very clean, and landscaping is beautiful. The staff is extremely nice and helpful!

📚Great Teachers📚

I learned so much during my time at EFSC. The classes feel small and specialized, with teachers that really do invest in the success of the students. Through the honor societies, clubs, and opportunities afforded, I was able to achieve my academic goals and graduate satisfied with my investment.

The Cocoa campus is larger than the Titusville campus with more buildings and space. There's a three-story library, a TV station, and entire buildings dedicated to specific specializations, such as health science, veterinary nursing, or HVAC. From art classes and theater, to welding and phlebotomy, there's a bit of everything here. There are also frequent on-campus events to enjoy, including food vendors, live performances, and games.

I’ve been going to this college for a couple years now, my counselor is great I love her but the school itself is just the worst.

I struggle in math I’ll say that out now and this is something me and my counselor have worked on. ASIDE FROM THIS

My classes were dropped once due to “no payment” even tho they were indeed paid for. They conveniently told me Friday night. Called and called to no avail. Ended up emailing the president and then is when they got me back most of my classes, I cannot stress enough the most part. I could not get all my classes because they were “full”

This school is okay for a beginner school but you as have to contact them call them. They do not check up on you or help you figure shit out like that.

2 stars cause the lady on the phone after an hour of waiting was very polite and apologetic

I have classes between the Cocoa campus and the Melbourne campus, this is solely a review for Cocoa.

I have had, for the most part, wonderful professors. I've only had 2 bad professors at this campus, but it has worked out in the end thankfully. If you have the right professor, they genuinely care for your education and go beyond just the typical "look at screen and write notes", they'll engage with you and have practices to make the class more interesting and realistic for what you are going in for. My advice is to try to look on RateMyProfessor for your possible professor & what you will have in store.

The buildings are older but it has a nice touch, I never got to experience the building that they closed off years back with space though 🙁 staff is friendly, but you do have to go forward to them if you have issues. Librarians are sweethearts who will help you!

Security, however, is frustrating. 2022 I had parked in front of the security office to go to class due to no parking spots, and when I came back, my car wasn't starting. I had thought it was my battery so I was outside, in front of the building mind you, for roughly an hr and a half with my hood up and nobody had came out to check up on me until my grandfather had come to help me with my car. in which, not long after, an officer had come out finally... just to go after my grandfather to not "drive on the road" and she then told me I was not allowed to park in this specific spot due to being a staff parking spot, then just left. she didn't offer to help at all or ask what was wrong with my car and just to chew me out. 🤦‍♀️ very rude woman, and I was not even aware there was staff parking spots apart from the main lots. if anyone reads this far and is wondering, yellow spots is staff & white is students! I wish they had a sign for it like the Melbourne campus, I think it'd be useful for new students.

Apart from that, I think this campus is a pretty good one. most of it is general degree courses with UCF's nursing building being there, but there is some really cool fun elective classes you can take.
