Boredom struck me in 2006 and I decided to go another two years and pick up an A.A. Degree (what the heck, right?). This is THE best Community College! All of the Professors here actually care about each and every individual student and go above and beyond do to all they can! Not only the Professors, but the office staff and the Dean also! Best Math Professor in the world goes to: Mark Wilson I don't care how much you hate math or how many times you say you'll never be able to learn math. Trust me, you WILL learn from this amazing Professor! He will not only teach you math, he will have you absolutely loving math. Never in my life have I seen a math instructor who can make it fun and get everyone to understand the material. Mr. Wilson, I stand and applaud you!!!! After graduating in the Spring of 2008, I still to this day call up Mr. Wilson and have a chat every month or so. He's so good he actually had me wanting to switch my major to math. No kidding. That's a pretty big deal considering English and writing have been my entire life! Best English Professor in the world goes to: Roger Vacarro Totally down to Earth and an amazingly cool man! Since 9th grade in High School, I have had Honors English. Not one instructor ever pointed out to me the number of times I used the word "that" when writing. The majority of the time, you can just remove the word "that" and the sentence continues to make sense; it's generally an unnecessary word. Tons of writing in his class; however, tons of fun! If you get the chance, I highly recommend you take his film class, even if you don't need the class. Another Professor I still call and we have chats. Best History Professor in the world goes to: Mark Little I have always hated history. HATE HATE HATE!!! Mr. Little wastes no time and goes right into lecture on the first day and I fell in love with history on the very first day. Now I'm in love with the past. I am constantly googling things from history and when I find a particular subject which really fascinates me, I call up Mr. Little and we have a discussion. He fills me in on all the details I can't ever quite seem to find online. I honestly think there is nothing in history this man does not know. I can go on and on about other wonderful Professors all day, but I will surely run out of characters. If you want to go to college and walk away with a solid education, this is the place for you! However, keep in mind, nothing will be handed to you on a silver platter, you still have to actually attend class and do that other thing... what's it called?? Oh yes... studying! A HUGE thank you to everyone at St. John's River Community College who made a difference in my life. You may not be mentioned here by name, but you know who you are and know you will always have a place in my heart!

We stopped by Flagler College while visiting St. Augustine and honestly it's worth a walk around…read more The grounds are really well kept and pretty to just stroll through. The standout is definitely the main dome building inside. The interior is genuinely stunning, like the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in Europe somewhere rather than Florida. We were not expecting that at all. We also happened to walk through the quad right as some kind of dunk tank event was going on where students were getting people to pay to try to dunk faculty members. We had no idea what was going on but we stopped and watched for a while because how could you not? If you're already in St. Augustine it's an easy and free thing to add to your day. Just walk around, admire the beauty, and hope you get lucky enough to catch something fun happening on campus like we did.

This review is specific to my experience and my own personal opinions during my time completing the…read moreMasters of Occupational Therapy (Weekend) Flex program from Fall 2021 - Summer at the CORAL GABLES location. My opinions towards anyone OR anything in this review will be based on my opinions and not stated as fact. The GOOD: "Few good ones": This program is littered with a revolving door of brand new professors. During my time there, there must of been more than half of my instructors being new graduates who have not taught before. However, there were a few professors who stood out as exceptional instructors. Dr. K. Llaca is a consummate professional and phenomenal instructor. Dr. Llaca will remind you of the no non-sense approach to teaching and genuinely cares about his students understanding the material. He is not the kind of professor that is looking to be "friends" with everyone and does his job. Dr. Llaca was a stoic, but friendly professor. Dr. S. Brim is another rare professor who seems to care about his students. Like, Dr. Llaca, Dr. Brim, seems to genuinely care about his students learning and their well being. Dr. Brim also provided a safe space to talk to him about any personal barriers. He is big on communication and punctuality when it comes to class time. Dr. V. Grijalba is another one of the rare professors at this institution who is knowledgeable and provided a safe space to bounce ideas off of for assignments. I feel she had a tremendous presence, but did not get to show her instructional prowess based on her being an assistant to the main instructors. Dr. S. Khan is the final good one. Dr. Khan was the final professor in my final trimester. She carried herself professionally, was always prepared, and was as reliable source of information for me. Campus cleanliness and non-instructional staff: The facility was small but very clean. I do not ever recall seeing the campus being unkempt in any way. The staff seemed to be a tight unit of people who understood their contribution to the campus. The campus security was friendly and professional. The BAD: "The mostly bad ones": As I mentioned before, the new/inexperienced instructor carousel at this university was frustrating. You either ran into a new professor who read from a powerpoint all day and/or did not have interpersonal skills to build the authentic rapport that students would need to buy into a professor in the classroom. I might have just described Dr. C. Cox. While she was an instructor who was well informed, I could not get over her condescending energy. She is the pompous type to needlessly "correct" your English in social settings. Not a very inviting individual at all. I never felt comfortable engaging in conversation with her about anything. The only thing I enjoyed about her class was the raw information I would get from her surgical teaching curriculum and her releasing us from class early. Dr. K. Mrabe's presence initially struck me as cool and understanding but that quickly changed once time progressed. He was the "hall monitor" type of professor who once gave me a full on email lecture about me turning in ONE assignment, ONE day late was an indictment on my professional integrity. I could understand if this a regular occurrence but it was not. Apparently, turning in that singular assignment late was his clearance to question my professionalism, rather than being understanding of my circumstance. It's his disconnect from simple effective communication to inspire someone without overly criticizing them. I was decently plugged into the social channels of school, so I knew what the other students thought of certain professors. Those testimonies from other students felt vindicating because I previously thought I was the only one who thought he was awful. Aside from the many complaints he gets about him from students not liking him as a competent professor, he surely lived up to being the professor you avoid outside of class through my personal interactions with him. The cool understanding professor mask dwindled quality as his "open door policy" turns into him rolling his eyes in plain view when talking to him. Sad thing is, Dr. K. Mrabe, was also my Academic Advisor, so it was especially dreadful to have to communicate with him on the two occasions I had a practical retake. He does not understand active listening and active understanding of the perspective of others. One time, I went to school to study for an upcoming practical (outside of the cohort flex weekend), and of course he had to let me know my dress code was wrong along with another dart thrown to my professional integrity. There was nothing wrong with communicating the dress code violation, however, it would of taken a rational professional to identify where the university failed to distinguish the dress code for PT (who wear gym clothing on campus) and OT students alike. Dr. A St. Germain was a bizarre fellow. My perspective of him is one of a professor

This is a private physical medicine and physical therapy school located behind Flagler Hospital…read moreright at the foot of the 312 bridge. We come here for continuing education courses, but you can also attend for a professional degree. In terms of continuing education, the courses are great! But this is not a fun place to visit. It's not well designed and between the depressing structure and ridiculously high level of security, it has the feel of a really nice prison. Seriously, I was there for 10 minutes, was buzzed in, had to put a parking pass in my car, and every door had a card key lock on it. The security guard was incredibly interested in me. It was weird. But what really bothers me about this school is their horrible website. It's virtually impossible to navigate! Want to find info on your course work? Good luck, let me know how that goes. It's just about impossible. The campus, if you can call it that, consists of two buildings and a basketball court. The parking lots are mostly shells with the one closest to the buildings being tiny, paved and apparently not for use by just anyone. The classrooms are okay, nothing special. I like the treatment beds. And for permanent degree seeking students there appears to be ample space, collegiality and lounges for study groups, socializing, etc.

We were there to watch a soccer game between Jacksonville University and Detroit and there was a lot of bad language on the field that I wasn't up to explaining to my kids. Overall, the concessions are inexpensive, they didn't give me a hard time about bringing a drink in, the game was free, and there were places to watch both standing along the field and in the stands. The campus is very pretty and it was great to expose my children to college sports without having to pay anything for sure. This is a nice option if you want to see how your children do watching college sporting events, and always nice to be able to cheer on a local Jacksonville team.

Jacksonville University may market itself like a prestigious private university with a $60,000+…read moreprice tag, but our family's experience was extremely disappointing -- especially for student athletes. My daughter attended JU, ran track and field on scholarship, and recently graduated with her master's degree. While we're proud of her for persevering, the way she and other athletes were treated throughout her time there was unacceptable. Injuries were consistently downplayed, and there was pressure to continue training and competing despite ongoing issues. My daughter is not someone who quits, so she pushed through, and in our opinion it only made things worse physically. Student athlete health and long-term well-being should come before performance. There also seemed to be a clear priority system within athletics where bigger sports received better treatment while track and field and cross-country were often overlooked. Trainers appeared far more focused on higher-profile sports, while runners frequently felt neglected or brushed aside. The school would push athletes to participate in fundraising programs with promises of team gear if certain donation goals were met. My daughter met the required goals, only to later be told there was not enough gear available anyway. Situations like that were incredibly frustrating and felt dishonest to the athletes putting in the effort. The dorm conditions were also terrible at times, including mold concerns that did not seem to be handled with the urgency they deserved. Campus maintenance overall felt lacking. Her vehicle was repeatedly damaged in parking areas with no accountability, and landscaping crews constantly blew dirt and debris all over students' cars. The dining hall food was another major disappointment. We heard repeated complaints about food quality and cleanliness, including bugs and hair found in meals. That is completely unacceptable for a university charging premium tuition prices. Thankfully, my daughter graduated and moved on, but if I were paying full tuition for this school, I would be furious. Families considering Jacksonville University -- especially athletes -- should strongly research all other options before committing.
