    Good school with good facilities. Main complaint is that the library is supposed to be used for…read morequiet studying. Being quiet is a rule of thumb for visitors to the library but is expected of the library's employees. Unfortunately this library isn't a good spot to study at though as there are two employees there who shamelessly flirt with each other just about every day. They laugh and bellow so loud that you can't focus on what you're doing even with earphones on. I'm glad they like each other and they have some kind of thing going on. Everyone who spends more than 20 min in the library when they're both working at the front desk knows of them. The issue lies in the common courtesy they don't extend to those who need to use their facilities to study/get things done. If it weren't for the constant chortling and loud laughter from the pair, this would be a great study space.

    North Campus is a much smaller campus than South Campus. The focus of this campus is medical…read moredegrees, culinary arts, and cosmetology. This campus is great because they offer very low priced dental cleaning. They even offer low priced hair salon and a fine-dining restaurant on campus. (Even the regular old cafeteria food here was superb!) This is a very important thing for us who are not blessed with health insurance, especially in these ridiculous economic times. The only draw back is that these services are only available for very limited hours (only on weekdays when most of us are working). I went here for the radiography program, and my teachers were excellent. The program director was extremely helpful and personable and answered any questions I had about the program or the career.

    I am currently enrolled in a continued education course for Ceramics 101 with Professor Michael…read moreCottrell and learning and loving it. As a student I have access to the studio during business hours (as long as it doesn't interfere with another active class) and the course is very open study. You ask- he shows you or does a presentation about it. Today I threw my largest pieces to date, I was pretty excited about that! With decades of experience, a very laid back demeanor and plenty of work space- the course and studio is great. Today was my first time taking advantage of going in outside of class time- I easily checked in at the Admin office and they walked me over to the classroom to unlock it for me. I need to take advantage of this more and I am seriously thinking about enrolling in additional classes. I laugh that the studio is messier than my taste- but with so many students (they have had the highest enrollment in Ceramics to date I believe), things don't always get cleaned up properly. I may have spent a little time cleaning this morning before I started my pottery work. I am so excited that we will be learning Raku firing method too!!! I hope to learn how to make a lidded pot and really get better at my forms. Cost for the course does not include clay, they have limited supplies of reclaimed clay, and you are encouraged to bring your own tools if you have them.

    Typical of most schools, you have your good and bad professors. But what really matters in the long…read morerun is how much effort you put into your courses. FCCJ consists of several different campuses, with concentrations at each one. The south campus focuses mainly on the Arts. Therefore, this is also the campus most known for its performances and gallery exhibits. FCCJ was undergoing a lot of changes with its Digital Multimedia program when I took it. It was the first year there was an entire course in flash, and the first year there was a course focusing solely on HTML. That was 2-3 years ago. Flash had already been around since 1996 or so. Do the math. Hahaha. Took them long enough. But then again, it is a community college. Still, there are many good points to this little college. They have a kick ass photo lab (which I hear is way better than the one at University of North Florida a short drive away), several computer labs (I hear they are one of the most wired community colleges in Florida), and even a Mac lab (and they were planning to add another one after I left). In addition to the regular on-campus classes, they offer really convenient TV and online classes for single parents, busy bees, workaholics, and car-less folks who want to continue their education. As for professors? Most of them were willing to help students if they needed help or had questions. Even if much of the work was self-taught from the book, classes often consisted of reviewing of the materials from the book. I had originally doubted community colleges, but they do a pretty good job here. I have also heard that they are in the process of trying to become a 4 year institution. Pretty interesting because some of the teachers that teach here also teach at the university.
