Like really, my original copy from going to college in 2011 with the official stamp from Ohio is not good enough. Snooty, stuckup douchebags who want to discriminate against people. Now I'm looking in another direction for school because they're that petty.

There are always events and fun things to do on campus. The cafe is different than the one at the tarpon campus...actually both are different and unique in their own ways. As for this cafe, the staff is so friendly. Its usually the same two student workers each week, so I have gotten yo know them over the years. The espresso is amazing! Get a double shot and you are set for 4 hours. They even top it off with vanilla cappuccino for yummy taste! Best thing is the chicken tenders and fries. Once they weren't cooked to perfection and they gave me a brand new dinner free to my perfection! The cafe closes at 7pm so if you have a late class, get there before the end so you can get your deliciousness. I can't wait to finish school so I can proudly represent as SPC alumni!

I recently participated in a day-long conference at the St. Petersburg College EpiCenter campus…read morelocated along 58th Street, just north of Ulmerton Road in Largo, FL. This two-story building is primarily a series of classrooms and conference rooms for the College, but it also houses a section of the Pinellas County government and the Pinellas County Economic Development group. The facility is gorgeous -- very sleek, very modern, lots of elbow room, and free WiFi -- which are all good things. Upon entering the building there is a receptionist who will politely direct you to the correct office or conference room. If you're looking for a cup of coffee or a little breakfast, then she'll direct you to the Nature's Table café located across the lobby from her desk. I was there for a Department of Homeland Security conference on weather risks, and projections on climate change over the next several years (Welcome to part of my real life), and our group was situated in one of the larger conference rooms on the first floor. The room was narrow and long, but the designers had planned ahead and installed extra high-definition large-screen TV panels in the back half of the room so that everyone had a great view of the material being presented. Add in a podium and a hand-held microphone, and the presenters were able to easily walk around the room and interact with the audience while everyone was able to hear the discussions. Throughout the meeting we had tables in the back of the room set up with hot coffee, hot tea (Thank you, Jesus!), ice water, iced tea (Amen!), and a nice spread of breakfast pastries as well as big serving bowls of sliced up fresh fruit (Hallelujah!). I was happy to scoop up a big bowl of fruit, and enjoy that with my hot tea. While I don't normally get all excited about bathrooms, I will confess that their facilities were quite clean, and that there appeared to be plenty of room to accommodate everyone. If I lived in Pinellas County, then I would definitely consider this campus for continuing educational classes.

This college's Administration, advising, student help, and reception help are all complete BS…read morejokes! They don't help you when you need it and do nothing but bump you from one person to the next because they're lazy; especially when all you're trying to do is CHECK something anyone can check! Whether it be about Financial Aid, Classes, Graduation; you name it they are all lazy, rude and refuse to do it!!! They don't care about the students and when they give the "falsified air" that they do during Orientation/Open House... I'll warn you, they're lying out of their arses! Not only that but this horrible college screws you over the moment they find out you've taken more credit hours than they've ALLOWED you to take. They won't even take responsibility even when it's their error in reading your transcripts, so they put you in financial aid suspension and then make it difficult for you to even sign up for classes because they will deny your Maximum Time Frame Appeal despite the proof you have they messed up. Their advisors are rude, their call desk receptionists are rude, and they will get an attitude with you if you ask too many questions. Did I mention it takes them days to call you back? If I could, I'd give this College a rating as "negative infinity" and warn absolutely everyone that going here is a waste of time and money. Go to one of the State Universities like USF, UCF, UF, FSU; though they're not 100% better, they have it more together than this joke of a College. I've gone to this College for 2 years now; only stuck it out because I believed they would improve. I thought all the campus' were different but it turns out they are all the same. Now SOME of the Instructors are reaaaalllly nice. But you'll find that those Instructors also dual-teach at State Universities. Still telling any prospective students that if you don't care about never getting help or being screwed over by the faculty, then SPC is the College for you! If not, then go some place better where you actually get the quality classes you want and deserve. Because the classes in the Degrees and Subplans here are also a joke; they don't teach you anything you need to know when it comes to the real world; not even the generalized classes do this! Go to a specialized Institute or State University for that; else you're just wasting your money, scholarships, and FAFSA limit of 30k you get if you're under the age of 24. Have fun continuing your education at another University after that if you plan to when you're under 24.

I clicked on an advertisement for information about this school. I was contacted immediately,…read moreshould be the first red flag. I was on the phone for over an hour. Before the call was done I was " accepted " and enrolled. Then transferred to the " financial aid " office.

There are other reputable sources that will cost you significantly less money.

During the admissions interview we were promised that after completing the course she would not only be accredited but would also receive job placement assistance.
