20 Best Masters Programs In Palm Bay, FL (2022 Updated)

Rollins is truly such a special place! There are plenty of opportunities to get involved on campus and become a leader, engage in research and service opportunities, and work on campus. The professors at Rollins are truly exceptional and deeply care about each one of their students. The education I received at Rollins better prepared me for the next step in my career path. I am so grateful!Jessica Gonzalez

One of the most precious universities with such a unique environment. Since the day I toured the place I knew how special this college is. Awesome professors which are available to help at all times, good food served and nice organizational structure.Adriana Hudkins

the views and places you can go on campus is breath-taking by itself. there's nice valley-walks you can take, and the people there are oh, so nice! I'm in LOVE with Rollins College, and congrats to the people who graduated on sunday!Jordan-Skyy Evans

This school is some sort of racket, I would recommend looking elsewhere to receive your degree. The school’s “academic advisors” are actually the program directors and professors, so they have a personal interest in what classes they put you in and won’t let you choose or advocate for yourself. Because of this, they are also not interested in solving problems you may face because then they’d have to take responsibility for them. The TAs barely know what they’re supposed to be instructing you in, and will get flustered if you have a question and do the work for you instead of actually teaching you to be self-sufficient. Additionally, the course descriptions are severely lacking and you will find that the instruction for nearly all classes feels very clandestine and disorganized. There is no transparency or way to make an informed decision at this “school”. For those living on campus in student housing, you may experience mold, insects, and furniture caked in animal hair. The school will not put effort into remedying this. The cafeteria food is abysmal after the first week of classes. There is a large foreign student population at this school, FIT may be relying on their newness to the States in order to maintain their poor standards. For those of us who value receiving a first-world and excellent education, I suggest NOT ATTENDING FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.K Washington

First. This place has its ups & downs. But one thing’s for sure, they provide quality education as good as Ivy leagues. 80% of Professors are great at teaching. Some will even be the reason youre passionate about you’re major. Downside to this place is the QS ranking(doesn’t exist on there). But they make up to that by being well known in the community & having connections with big engineering companies. I graduated may2020 with an Bsc in ME. & am now getting my masters at UCI in MAE. Let me tell you I study with students from berkely & UCSD & I am just as knowledgeable as they are or even better at times. One of the downsides is the extremely expensive university housing which you’re forced as an international student to stay in for 1 year. Wish FIT imvested a bit more on better parking lol. Best 4 years of my life. Even though Melbourne is extremely boring. Orlando & miami are 1 & 2:30 hours away. Don’t ever estimate the quality of education FIT is providing. I once did & now know better. Take up that panther 🐆 pride. One last thing. You’ll get to see rockets 🚀 taking off every couple weeks from campus. Nasa & cape canaveral are 40mins away.Khaled AlSamri

Florida Tech has been my home away from home. The energy the place and the people have is unique and would say that I am as happy as I can be here at Florida Tech. Ever since I started attending school here I felt like my education and wellness was more than covered. It has given me connections and friendships that will last forever and I will forever be grateful to have chosen Florida Tech. My professors have always been caring and helpful and I have never felt like I didn't belong here. I loved the community and how many different clubs and organizations they have, so socializing has been an easy part as well. Overall I don't think I could have chosen a better experience than attending Florida Tech.Daniel Lopez Esser

When I initially came into this school I wanted to eventually go into their graduate program. The admissions advisor told me that I would have a higher change if I got my undergrad there as well. So I did. I graduated with a 3.4, the teachers were amazing and then I go to apply for my graduate program. Due to covid the interview was over the phone. The gentleman that interviewed me asked me why I wanted to go into mental health and I explained to him how in the past I had a substance abuse problem (I wanted to be as honest as I could) because I had been saved and I felt like my purpose was to be a vessel of god and help others. The minute I said that to him he answered “I AM SORRY BUT I DONT KNOW HOW I WILL BE ABLE TO PRESENT YOU IN FRONT OF THE COMMITTEE” “MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF”. He did finish the interview but weeks later I received a letter saying that I was denied admission to the school. I was already in the school, so I called and no one understood why I wasn’t accepted. My advisor was confused, my teachers and myself. When I asked why I wasn’t accepted so that I can work on it and fix it no one knew. They said the committee looks at different things and decides. I had classmates with lower GPAs that were admitted, I had one friend who had failed a class and was admitted and I wasn’t admitted simply because I have a past with mental health. I asked to email someone so I may get an answer as to why this happened. They didn’t even send me the proper letter stating I wasn’t accepted into the program. No one ever got back to me and honestly it shattered me because here I am paying 3 times the amount of a state university to be discriminated by my past. I truly worked hard for my grades.Mari Molina

I personally did not like the college. I decided to leave after one semester because I didn’t feel the Christian culture as I should have. They don’t cater to commuter students. And the professors that I had didn’t care if you learned or not. The people in student services were rude to me and it showed me their true colors. They are nice when they want you to apply and mean after you apply. They lie and say they have scholarships to offer you and then in the end you have to take out loans. They chose my classes because I was a freshman and I didn’t like most of my teachers. They also put me in the wrong math class and when I transferred out it took so long that I already miss majority of the work and had to drop the class altogether. I wouldn’t recommend this college at all. They were expensive for no reason. I also didn’t like that they force you to do community service. When offering to the community it should be our choice because it will be in good will and our own choice. But when you force us we aren’t going it because we want to but because we have to so that we can graduate.Brittnay Baxter

I was a first year student at PBAU, and I can say whole-heartedly, the WORST school to be in, very uptight people and community. I got scammed by getting a 10k grant and got stuck with owing the school WAY more then was suppose to. The administration never gets back to you, and the new president gives all her work off and doesn’t try to reach out to the students- even when asked. This school does not care about the students and is a SCAM.Autumn Pucino

We moved to Brevard Country and were delighted to have found this great school that fits our needs and that of our daughter! In just two years, the positive impact the teachers and school has had on our daughter is amazing and we truly believe: "Start here, go anywhere!" We are very grateful to be part of the HTEA school family! The high quality in leadership, faculty and staff is evident. The entire school is committed to educating the whole child: open communication to parents and great student support to bring forward spiritual growth, high levels of emotional maturity and great value is placed on academic progression & participation in extracurricular activities. The children's core values are strenghtened daily as they are encouraged to have good relationships with their teachers and peers, positive attitudes in all aspects and participation in opportunities to get involved through school in the community! Highly recommend becoming part of this wonderful school!Louise Maaser

This school's main interest is economic. My experience was short but unpleasant and costly. Read carefully the contract and all documents they provide before signing and enrolling your child. Contract is full of errors and omissions that will only affect you. They talk about teaching Christian values to the children but when it comes to money, that is all forgotten. They answer by threatening with their legal team and will stop at nothing for money; money they have not earned and do not deserve. They talk about respect for one's neighbors in their core values, however they don't care to listen to you, won't answer your questions, won't admit or fix their errors, won't consider your situation or care about how your family is affected. A school that lacks empathy and respect for others, that turns a blind eye to the errors in the system, that disregards parents' voices, and were communication only exists if it benefits them, will never be a good option for your child.Lucy Ortiz

There is so much we love and value about about the school our kids currently attend, but the sense of community we found within is probably the most important one. Our family has moved quite a bit over the years and for our children, especially for our oldest, this meant starting all over. To both our children the passage of three years with the school community has given them strength in becoming the best learners they can be and active participants and builders of their community. My husband and I give high value to a great academic learning experience, as well as the opportunity to participate in athletics and extracurricular activities. We have learned over these past three years that character education and the opportunity to learn in a school that reflects diversity and good values; is something very few private schools can do in the way Holy Trinity does.Lili Katz

If I could leave no stars I would!!! This school is nothing but an over priced babysitter! This school was recommended to me by a friend attended back when it was Florida Air. I was told how organized and structured they were and how her experience was second to none. My son and I toured the school the summer of 2016 and were very impressed by the possibilities for him. He was very interested in the baseball program and the ROTC program. I spoke with admissions counselors and felt very confident in the decision I was making. He was a weekly boarder and I would pick him up on the weekends. Shortly into his first semester he was already finding ways in which to be lazy and disconnected. I noticed at interim he was falling behind in grades. I spoke with the principal who explained to me for an additional 1000.00 I could start tutoring for him. He would be required to go every day and check in and she would email me weekly with reports. Come to find out at the end of the first nine weeks that he only had to stop and see her. If he told her he had no work he did not have to stay with her. She never emailed me and she was not following along with his teachers to see if he maintained his work. Also I was told how excited they were that he was interested in baseball. I spoke briefly with the baseball coach during our summer visit and that was the last we heard from him. If my son did not make the effort to go find him he was not going to be on the team. I understand that at high school there is a certain amount of responsibility that falls on the child but when you are paying such a high cost in education and he doesn't come home at night to follow up you would think the school would be a little more aware and communicate back with the parents. I quickly withdrew my son from this school at the end of the year seeing as I could find a local babysitter for much cheaper if that was what I was looking for. I refrained from posting a review because I thought maybe my experience was a very rare incident. However now a year later I still have not been able to get my sons transcripts sent to the current school he is enrolled in. We started requesting them in July of 2017. We were told in November there was a balance on his account for a school trip he did not attend and that was why they had not sent them. However we only found this out because his current school called to ask me to help since they still had not received them. Not because Florida Prep let us know. We settled this balance on November 15th. Today is June 5th and his current school has still not received his transcripts. Again I only know because we are talking with his current school to set up his schedule next year. He is going into his junior year of school and cannot even be listed as a junior because the lack of organization at his previous school. When I called this morning to find out yet again why this has not happened I was told they needed to talk with accounting first. As you can imagine I was furious and went back in my records to find my canceled check and to call back. When I called back they stated they did speak to accounting and it would be handled later today. I guess we will see….. Please be very cautious when considering this school and for the future of your child be able to stay on top of them. Myself as a single mother and business owner wish I would have had more time to stay on top of things at the school. There are a lot of great opportunities there but no one to encourage or check in with the kids. If your child is not a born leader he or she may get lost in translation.Alysia Keith

I am a parent of a Fla. Air Academy student who is a senior this year. He has attended FAA for 2 yrs. now and really likes it. He was born and reared overseas in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. He is an Aramco Brat and an Eagle Scout. He is well traveled and because he grew up in our multicultural environment is color blind, which we love. We sent him to FAA because he needed a better academic and structural environment which thankfully this school provides. He began his boarding school career in 9th grade at another boarding school which will remain nameless (its in Rome, GA), which seems to have a habit of kicking Aramco kids out then keeping their money for fairly minor infractions, I know of 3 including my son. Anyway this is not about them, its about FAA which was recommended to us by some friends. What initially got my attention was their track record of 100% college acceptance, that's very strong! After one semester there our son was excelling both academically and with much higher self esteem and very respectful toward adults. We have visited the campus on several occasions and what I found is a school with great faculty, the president and VP are great people who care about your kids. In fact the president called me personally regarding a misstep my son made last year and they worked together to resolve the problem very favorably. I never received a call from that other school's president, only a young asst. dean. Some boarding schools are looking for reasons to kick kids out so they can keep your money and the next week replace him or her with another fee paying student, this school looks for reasons to keep your kids there and work with them to be successful young adults. You are not going to get the multi-millon dollar endowment funded campus here, but you will get a decent campus and more importantly a darn good faculty which puts your kids' welfare first and a great education and college acceptance for your child in a wholesome semi-military environment which the kids take to very quickly.Lashar Lavenue

I am a graduate of Florida Air Academy, Class President of 1995. I owe everything I am today because of FAA. It's a wonderful place to obtain an invaluable education, learn indispensable leaderships skills with integrity & discipline, as well as making life long friends that I consider family. At Florida Air Academy, I was able to letter in three sports, graduate with a 3.2 GPA and earn my private pilot's license at the age of 17. I went on to go to the University of Florida and worked at Wall Street's very own Merrill Lynch, PFS. I still keep in touch with my fellow FAA graduates & staff and look forward to seeing many fine young women and men share the same great experiences that I did. If you want your son or daughter to chase their dreams, accept the challenge of a lifetime and thrive in a positive, soul-building environment, Florida Air Academy is the way to go!Rock

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNIVERSITY!!!! Positive reviews come from admissions counselors at SOUTH UNIVERSITY. BEWARE!!!!! I had a really bad experience at South University and yes I would agree with the statements about them being all about the money. I was told my transfer credits were approved, BUT once I was enrolled—signed all documents—then they told me that I had to retake more classes $$$ (again, after being “approved”). Tuition is ridiculous, I was charged well over $4,000 for 2 classes. Now they won’t even release my transcripts until I pay off this amount. BE CAREFUL!!!! The institution is disorganized, and I got mixed information from different people. I never knew who was in charge of anything…. It all seems smooth and nice until you sign up. BTW I received both As in my classes, this is an honest review based on my experience and it doesn’t come from “someone who’s not doing what they are supposed to”Santiago Cardona

I am an alumni of South University and I only experienced a great experience. I see people posting reviews that the school only cares about your money, which is not correct. There is a student academic progress process in which the students who are not doing well academically will be given the opportunity to improve their grades. If they do not, they will be academically dismissed from the school. The professors care about the students success and help in any way that they can. I highly recommend South University. The tuition if not cheap, but if you are looking for small classes, individualized attention and success…South University is the school for you. I feel that some people on this forum were not doing what they needed to do to be successful and they should own up to it, not blame the school.Kamisha Vanarsdale

The admissions team was amazing when I got there (of course I had an appointment) the wait wasn't long at all. The next day I went to see the financial aid, which didn't take much longer then any other college that I had gone to. The teachers are really nice and help you when you need any help with assignments. The tuition is pretty high but it is a private school that helps when you ask for what you need in a polite manner. Though I am upset that I can not rollover all of my previous credit from the last college that was closed down, I'm still happy that they have taken what they could! All around great staff and great schoolBrittney Furtado

Please do not use this shop, it’s fine when they sell you bc products but any problem forget it. Had our bus and regulators serviced by them, realized after first dive they left gasket off bc! They are now saying it was our fault. Refuses to return money for bc rebuilding only 150.00 dollars. Our trip was a mess because we had to shares so 50 percent less dives. We moved here from Colorado two years ago for work. Had our bc and regulator rebuilt there few times, never one problem. My hubby doesn’t let anyone touch our bc as he is very careful with our equipment. Also they threatened to charge us with fraud if we called visa to get our 150 back. Such a disappointment , can’t believe this. They also said I should have checked it out before dive, guess I thought after spending 600 dollars to service our equipment! Have never had any trouble with any store in past. Just a warningSheree Jackson

The owners of this place are Jeff and Donna and while the staff has a good knowledge base, the organization and planning for scheduled dives, below average customer service and prices leave something to be desired. My recommendation for training and money savings is to go with Hatts diving as the equipment rentals and air fills are cheaper plus a better chance to work with staff on what you need, not what they deal you into. Always felt like every time I walked in I was spending more money and getting less than I could elsewhere so I started exploring my options, what I found was, that I was right.John Mcleod

My husband and I visited today. We have no snorkeling equipment at all. With are planning a trip to go scalloping in Crystal River next week. The gentleman in the shop spent an hour with us finding the proper masks, fins and snorkels.He did not push the very expensive equipment on us. He recommended the best stuff for what we wanted. The equipment that fits us best is a median range price. Hopefully, equipment that will last many years, but probably only be used a couple times a year. Thank you so much for spending the time with us today!Monique Doug

I have a one year update on my new home 2 stage heat pump system. They did a really good job on the system as a whole and I want to emphasize that. Rooms all stay at the correct temperature while the air is running and it does a good job cooling plus filtering with the 5" thick filter. However, I will explain some issues I have discovered along the way. Probably October through March as the days are cooler, the A/C didn't need to cycle on much. Upon some investigating I found they accidentally left it in dehumidification mode permanently which runs 60% fan. I'm glad the compressor didn't fail. I did correct that problem. I also needed to run a portable dehumidifier for those months because the system was not running enough to pull down the humidity. I look for under 55%. I also found over two summers now that the system is about 30% oversized. Days when we reach 91 degrees up to 96 degrees outside even, stage 1 is all we ever need on our 2 stage compressor. I can look at run time history and the only time stage 1 remains on is if we are cooking, running exhaust, doing laundry, etc. all at the same time while it's blazing outside. I have stage 2 to kick in at 1 degree above set point also. So, 70% of 4 tons is all our house needs at 73 degrees. Unless we are really heating the place up, it will cycle probably 3 times per hour on stage 1 whilst it is at or over design temperature. The only time stage 2 is used is for a really fast cool down if we've been gone and turned the temperature up. I have worked to have this situation resolved by installing a whole house ventilating dehumidifier to keep the humidity around 50% while the air conditioner is not on. The system now works quite well once I had that done. It would probably work better if the system wasn't so large. I also found that the vent boxes weren't sealed to the drywall so I caulked them to seal it up. Once again, very clean install of a standard A/C system, but not without a few issues. I did speak to the company at length prior to the installation as well about the humidity issues I anticipated.David Hoover

My air stopped blowing cold air late last night, called A/C Service Masters/Shane ….first thing this morning on the recommendation from a co-worker. He told me he had several stops ahead of me to make but said he would be here between 12-2 today. About 2:05 pm he called and apologized for running late and told me he was on his way. He got here, diagnosed the problem very quickly and then came back in to give me the receipt ….he had already fixed it! I was so shocked and happy! He was quick, efficient and I cant say enough how much I appreciated his exceptional service! And it was so reasonable too…I was expecting to pay a lot more! Highly, highly recommend this company!!

my AC unit iced over, I called up AC service masters and John was responsive and nice to talk to on the phone. I let him know my situation, he was able to get Shane out to my place within 2 hours (I specified that I was pretty flexible, and Shane was finishing up some work in the area). Shane was able to talk through what he was doing, and asked before doing anything that would be a charge. Shane was able to diagnosed the issue to a leak in my dryer, get it replaced, re-charge the system, and we're blowing cold air again! Definitely got an honest, down to earth, vibe from my experience with AC Service Masters. 10/10 recommend. Service:   A/C system repairZach Levy

PBA is a hidden gem in Orlando. The people and professors are probably the best part of the experience. To be blunt, the quality of the professors surprised me. Its a small school so I did not expect much, but the professors are some of the most Brilliant Minds I've ever encountered. On top of knowledge, they also have kind and genuine hearts that care about YOU and your understanding of the material. PBAU is known for being a Christian School and I absolutely love how they involve God and Jesus in our work but they do not shove it down our throats. It's a nice balance for those who range from not being a believer to those who are sold on Jesus. This program makes you grow in ways you never expected. They invest in working on who you are as a person, which in turn will help you become a better counselor. I strongly believe those who do their own internal work and become aware their triggers and biases, will be the most productive counselors out there. The classes invite you to dwell in your own stuff while providing support and understanding. Most programs in Florida do not require you to go to therapy as a part of their program, PBA is not one of those schools. They believed self care is important and in our work, our mentality is a priority. I speak nothing but praise for my experience at PBA and would highly recommend it. And if all of that doesnt convince you, I also found my future hubby in the program. Which has been the best gift of all 😜 haha but really they are definitely worthy of considering. 👍Tiffany Card

The experiences I have had at Palm Beach Atlantic University have been like no other in my life. From the amazing staff, Professors, and students, this time in graduate school has been nothing but positive. The faculty, staff, and students create a loving, caring environment where growth is fostered throughout the entire time in the program(s). The faculty stretch the students to grow personally, professionally, and spiritually while assisting them become the professionals God intended them to be. The staff ensures that questions and concerns are answered in an expedient manner and offer support and words of encouragement during your journey. The students become a collective family that rely on one another and support each other in the process of growth. Through the Graduate Counseling Program, I have been able to build life-long relationships, become more aware of God's purpose for my life, and grow into a well rounded individual. Anyone looking to continue their education in a supportive, caring environment with people that encourage you throughout your program(s) need to consider Palm Beach Atlantic University Orlando Campus as an option.Susie Rhoads

When I looked at pursuing my undergrad degree, I wanted flexibility and more importantly a challenge. PBA Orlando gave me both. The adult program utlizes evening classes that allows you to create a schedule that accommodates what you need. Perhaps the most amazing thing offered here is the ability to connect and network with professionals that have been around for years. Instead of sitting in a room of 500 people, you're there with less than 20. It's an atmosphere that induces a special type of learning, and offers an opportunity to build relationships with your professors. As an aspiring professional, what more could you want?An Avid Observer

That Gabe Torres is a liar. I was witness to what happened. Me and several of the men were in there while he approached the master instructor in extremely aggressive manner. She asked him to leave and he refused. We stepped in and said you need to leave and we will call the police. He’s a lowlife who lies. This Academy does teach Olympic sparring, and is the only other martial art to be recognized with the Olympics. Mr. Torres has not done his research so he doesn’t really know he’s talking about. Take His review with a grain of salt. The master instructor never went to someone else’s school to say anything, that’s beneath her and she would never do that. She’s a high class Master instructor and in the international martial arts Hall of Fame. People like Gabe right poor reviews and aggressive reviews when they don’t get their way. He was dismissed because of his aggression towards all of the instructors, including myself, a male instructor. Come see for yourself, don’t take this guy’s word for it he’s not trustworthy. He tried to start a fight with me, a physical fight in her school. Does it sound like someone who knows what he’s talking about? Obviously notStone Rock

There was no disagreement the instructor / owner overstepped instead of doing her job which is teach martial arts not going into details but she's afraid if you ask me she even went to the new school my children wentto to traditional taekwondo and pretended to to be a police officer to grandmaster kotch agreat real registered 7th degree blackbelt and grandmaster. The reason I know this is because he told me she came in. My family was not the only family who left there either many others did and went to traditional taekwondo and the kidswere felt better treated there and happier that at ATA teachings made up martial arts that isn't even acknowledge in the OlympicsGabriel Torres

I cannot say enough great things about Master Beachamp and her academy. She is a master, not just in her martial arts skills but also in motivation, discipline, self-control and respect. I've watched for a long time now how her students grow and mature. The one thing I've learned myself watching my daughter here is that it involves much more than physical training and learning the arts. The experience you get here you just cannot get anywhere else – at school, at home or playing video games. Life lessons are taught as well as the skill set. I could not be happier with what this academy provides.Bill Haack

I have no idea where these negative comments are coming from but I know for a fact that the Palm Bay location is amazing ! My two kids have been coming here since Nov of last year. They are now 5 and 1. I am so thankful I found this place ! I couldn’t be any more happier !!! They are all wonderful and professional. They are always updating me with pictures and with what they kids are doing etc. The director Jessica and assistant director Judith are both amazing !!! Nancy, Juanita, Sarah, Tania and everyone else are all incredible even the cook she gets down in that kitchen. I appreciate everyone in that place. It’s hard to find a place to watch you kids I am a very overprotective person when it comes to my kids especially when one of my child can’t speak/defend themselves (she’s 1) but I know here they are both in great hands. Thank you all for being amazing !! I highly recommend this place without a doubt !!!Hemmy Cardona

This is quite possibly the worst daycare center/preschool I have ever experienced. Most of the teachers and staff were nice to my son and myself, however some of the things I witnessed during pick ups and drops offs were atrocious. I've seen teachers yelling and screaming at children because they were not listening. The teachers had no control over children or classroom. I saw a teacher manhandle a small girl, and that was the last time I took my son to that school. They would always tell me that my son was the most well behaved child in the ENTIRE school. That says something to me. My child cried EVERY morning I dropped him off. He's now in a new school and I never have that issue. The facility is dirty and smells and the staff really seems uneducated. Stay clear of this place unless you need something last minute.Gabriella Lauricella

Went there just to see and let me say Very money hungry All I kept getting told was “you have to pay or lose your spot. We gotta get paid” Obviously Kept getting cut off every time I tried to talk. Director seemed rude and uninterested in the kids. Teachers looked miserable and overwhelmed. None of them smiled once the whole time I was there. 1 teacher for 8-9 kids. Place was loud and dirty looking. Play area was tiny and messy. Kids were running all over and into other “classes”. Door was wide open for kids being potty trained so anyone could see. Will not be sending my kid here. Absolutely not. Only positives I could say was that you can watch the cameras and Judy seems very friendly. Also the lock on the door that needs a code is good.Kaitlyn B.

I am unfortunate enough to be a student at Palm bay academy and i can confidently say that it is a terrible school. the students there are rude and disrespectful, with no consideration for their classmates and their teachers. students are being bullied, girls are being sexually assaulted, and a slap on the wrist is the only punishment. As for the food, its not uncommon to find plastic, tinfoil, and even hair, in the meals (which are not filling)they serve at palm bay academy. sometimes the chicken they serve is under cooked. in addition, the resources at this school are dwindling, and Palm bay academy doesn't have enough money to restock. The library, is literally, crawling with roaches, and the bathrooms are decorated with profane graphite, and the uniform policy displays sexism in its darkest form. Two teachers have left this school in the middle of a semester and I cannot blame them. Parents claim that ever since they sent their kids to palm bay academy, their academic grades have been getting lower and lower. don't make the same mistake they did. SEND YOUR KIDS SOMEWHERE ELSE!Tech Student

This my school that u go to do talk about my schoil i go tovthe library every Friday for my life it has no roaches the fiod has no hair in it and the uniform is perfectly fine I get a medal for panthers pride every year and every report card i get us all A's every year and no body ever gets slaped in the hand so get tour fatcs straitknoal kirby

Great school! It's a charter school so they are able to go above and beyond for students. Teachers often offer tutoring after school which doesn't happen at regular schools. The teachers want to see their students achieve, so they go the extra mile.Daniel Scott

This school turned my child away b/c her parents aren’t married. Who says this school and church wasn’t what our family needed. These are my thoughts this sums it up Luke 6:37-42 “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” 39 He also told them this parable: “Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? 40 The student is not above the teacher, but everyone who is fully trained will be like their teacher. 41 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 42 How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.Chana Marino

Yeah. This school is only for those who are upper class (I was heavily made fun of for being poor), neurotypical (I was bullied by students and teachers alike for my autistic traits) and have no curiosity (teachers are so so cruel to students who question at all). Overall I'd rather be Assulted again then go back to this school. This school is AWFUL as a whole. No help for kids who are different. Also this school was definitely a leading factor into my suicide attempt when I was a child. This school is hell.Mel Reborn

When my wife goes to pick up my daughter early the front office calls my ex to inform her instead of asking me if it’s ok for MY WIFE to pick up MY DAUGHTER who I have 50/50 custody of. My ex immediately called about her getting picked up early. When I call and ask the school office why they “claim” they didn’t call my ex, even tho my ex is the one who said they called her. If you have a blended family the office will choose a side to favor and lie to the other. Way to run a Christian school.Nicolas Froelich

My daughter is graduating this year! Just yesterday, my daughter said "If it weren't for this school and the teachers there, I wouldn't have made it this far" She has struggled to make up work from years of slacking off. The staff has worked so hard with her to help her catch up and be where she needs to be to graduate this year. We are both very grateful for all you guys have done at LCCA!B M

Peculiar Priesthood has been a blessings to me and my kids. What one school said was impossible Peculiar proved them wrong! The grades I have seen these last 2 years have blown my mind. Awesome school, happy parent!!Reflections of A Lonely Heart

this is a small, private university in DeLand, Florida, between Orlando and Daytona. there are a few residence halls and academic buildings, a student union with a dining hall and study spaces, a wellness & recreation center, and a physical & mental health center. there’s also lots of greenery around the campus, making it a beautiful place to walk through.Manal Ammagui

Open House at Stetson University; what an amazing experience. So welcoming, students & faculty were happy. The atmosphere promotes individuality & community in a harmonious symphony. Quite unique, not for everyone yet for those who dare to be challenged & seek the authenticity from a deeper perspective- this is the learning environment to grow.Mental Atlas

We toured this college for my son, he loved it but we couldn't make the costs work, I expect he would have attended their business school otherwise. Very modern campus, the business related areas we toured were modern. Admissions staff was amazing, very helpful and friendly.Scott Malin

I graduated with my AA from PBSC. I attended classes at the Palm Beach Gardens and Lake Worth campuses. This affordable college supports the educational goals of its students through numerous academic resources, dedicated professors, and federal grants. There are many organizations on campus for those who want to explore their field of interests. There are great professors like Venessa Brown, Sritana Yasui, Derria Smith, Dr. Barry Roberts and many others. I enjoyed my experience at PBSC. As far as I can assess, It is heading toward a prosperous future.Bluemarvel 777

If you go to the Loxahatchee campus, good luck. The security guards do not know what in the world they are doing. They’ll give you a ticket for looking the wrong way. They have 10 guards for 1 building campus. The “assistant dean” is a nightmare. Ms.Vasquez is nasty and will not listen to anything you have to say. The advisors and the cashiers are probably the only decent people there. Just go to lake worth or gardens.Demarco Lorenz

I pay out of pocket for my classes and mown i have no professor and is trying to register for my class but it’s not assigned a professor nor is it showing up on my blackboard. I had a professor when i first chose the class, now I don’t on top of it all I keep getting transferred and been on hold for about 30 minutes.Belinda Beckles

I went to St. Joe's as a kid and I LOVED the school! As a kid I attended many different schools as I was a military family, but when we moved to FL and I started at St. Joe's I immediately felt like I was part of a family. My classmates immediately took me in as their own even though most of them had known one another for years. I was a new-bie but that didn't matter. I was one of them. Now that I have children of my own I wanted them to go to St. Joe's. However, I wanted to tour the school to see if anything has changed, so I toured the school and I feel like the school has improved since I've been there. I feel like it's more of a community. Father Jeremiah is involved in the student culture, which I wish I had as a child. I feel like St. Joe's is still a great match for my family. I love how pleasant and polite the students are. The teachers are great. I have my daughter in the VPK program and I absolutely love her teachers! Mrs. Cook and Mrs. Mason are AMAZING! My child wants to go to school everyday, even on the weekends! She LOVES learning and comes home everyday telling me what new things she learned that day. The curriculum, standards of teaching, morals, and Catholic values that are taught in this school are very important to me. I want my children to learn, yet be challenged. Compassion is another thing that is taught in this school through various activities and events, which I also find very important. I enjoy volunteering for the school and church as it allows me to be involved in my child's education. It makes me feel that I'm doing my part in our community. This in itself shows my children that we should serve and help others. Coming from an alumni and parent of a SJCS student, this school is AWESOME! Take a tour and learn why so many others love this school too!Kristina Brauner

You will not find a better school than Saint Joseph Catholic School. I have had 3 children graduate from this school, and still have 3 more currently attending, and every one of them has had a wonderful exoerieince at Saint Joseph. It's the most welcoming school, and the teachers are 100% invested in providing the children with the best educational experience. Most of the teachers have been working at Saint Joseph for years, and really love what they do. I can not say enough about how awesome this school is.Ambre Vargas

Great staff and great campuses, however I must complain of one staff member, Ms. Annette Tran. She sent a document to me in an email and said to fill out and send it back to her. Now note I live in Indialantic, so cocoa is a 1 and half hour drive. I then contacted her asking how to send it, through pdf or come to the Cocoa campus and she said she’ll be at the cocoa campus. When I got there at the appointment on time I asked all over the campus and she wasn’t there. Then I contacted her again and she said to just email it over. I did as instructed and she claimed that it was the wrong one. So I contacted her again and ask if she could send me the right pdf and she said to drive up to the cocoa campus and get the form. So I went again and no sign of her and the front desk handed me the document. I signed and sent it back and it was wrong again! I repeated myself for her to send it and she said the paper will be at the Melbourne campus. I went, got the paper but she still wasn’t there. I then tried emailing it to her and it said my email got blocked, so I had to use my secondary email and I still wait word from her for 2 days now.Dylan Tidalstalker

I have been going to Eastern for a few years now (nearly half done with my AA), and while I can't say I have much experience with in-person classes (Pandemic and all), I will say that I have only had a few issues overall. 2 to 3 out of my 8 or so teachers were a problem for me, and that really was only because one didn't answer their email often enough to help me in time and because another had a very strict and linear way of teaching, which I personally don't do well with. More often than not, I have had kind and understanding teachers who are upbeat, helpful and more than forgiving on late or hard assignments. I also found the few in-person classes I have had to be fun and something to look forward to (despite the occasionally long rides). I may have just been given the good-end of the stick and maybe others have had worse experiences, but I have found college here to be easier and more forgiving than my own Middle to HighSchool experiences. Hopefully you will as well.Crazy Or Imaginative

It would seem that a lot of the reviews here are from entitled kids who expect everything to be easy for them. I've never had a problem with Advising, Financial Aid (Although I do payment plan and not federal aid), Classes or Professors. I'm only on my third semester and I work hard to get the grades that I'm getting, if I have a problem I work extra hard to solve it no matter what it may be. I understand that in the real world nobody is going to hand me anything. I only have two major problems, the amount of high school kids that are in my classes is crazy, and I wish they would funnel some of the Melbourne money to us in Cocoa so they can fix some of the buildings that were messed up from the hurricane. Overall though, its a good school and very affordable. Working on my AS now and then going for my Bachelors in Network Technologies: Cyber Security.Ricky Ray

Alumni here and this school really is what you make of it. And it basically caters to all types for better and also for the worse. If you are a serious student there is so much funding at this powerhouse school and opportunities you CAN find something as long as you look for it. If you are more into the party scene and just want to enjoy college than by all means you will be surrounded by many sharing the same goal. But as a serious student (med school now) I can't say that I am happy with my decision at UCF. Although I did have fun I think it held me back more than push me. Only because there is too much emphasis on distractions/events/gym/sports and the party-school environment. With so many students that are not taking school seriously I let myself get carried away with the flow thinking my lazy lifestyle was the "norm" for a student. Kids go into class in their pajamas and the class sizes are so big you'll never get to know your professors let alone a letter of recommendation for higher education. So I'd say its a slightly below average place, as long as you don't get caught up in the wave of blowing off your school work which can really hurt in the long run. Avoid that and you can reap the benefits of all that insane funding they get.Christopher Rohner

You definitely need to stay on top of your grades- it's viewed that it is your grade, and therefore something you should be monitoring. The professors will always help and change grades when proof is shown. The syllabus of each professor is your bible. Always go to office hours, and use e-mail or webcourses to keep in contact with both the professor and TA (if applicable). Definitely find an advisor you like, even if it may not be the one assigned to you… First Year Advising is amazing! Make sure to take full advantage of it! Try to get at least a but involved with the school, as it helps give you that extra motivation to go through the school work. Beautiful campus, amazing resources when you search for them- and never be afraid to just randomly drop into an advisement area and ask where to get help for whatever you need- it's sometimes hard to figure out what advisement department handles what.. So just ask! The campus is also perfectly planned out in an easy to follow system!Brittany Willis

Graduated from UCF and I loved every minute of being there. The facilities are amazing and the school is always working to provide the students with more resources, opportunities, and activities. Most of my professors were absolutely amazing, and as long as you show that you're dedicated and willing to work, they will work with you to help make sure that you're passing and understanding the material in the courses. The actual campus is gorgeous and they work hard at maintaining all of the buildings. My biggest complaint is the parking because there's never a place to park so I would HIGHLY recommend finding other modes of transportation ( I took the campus shuttle which was convenient and timely). The staff there is always very helpful and I never really had problems with speaking to an adviser or talking to the financial aid office, etc. Attending this school was an excellent college experience. Just be prepared to work hard and take responsibility for your schedule, etc.Shira

This is probably the WORST school in Brevard County. Do NOT send your child here. They won’t learn anything. Staff is horrible, food is even worse. Kids are treated like they are in jail. No freedom. A VERY RACIST/PREJUDICE school as well. Ms. Setterbo, Ms. Dixon and Ms.Bombriant are ALL horrible staff…please do you and your child a HUGE favor and do NOT send your child here.Jayla Renee

Im a 10th grader here, If your looking for football this isnt your place.The coaches haven't had a winning record Since..Um….They never really have to think of it. Academically, Teachers here can be a pain but If you put in effort and time your bound to succeed.TrippieTim

Terrible school my son will no longer attend due to the bully that caused him physical harm! Our son had to go to the ER. Our son is 9th grader the bully a football player 12th grader. But injustice will be paid for!Beho lder
