This could be a great local college but it is lacking in basics , such as communication. When you need help, no office seems to know how to help you or which office can help you. Filed formal complaint on a professor due to them not grading final project and never heard back. This lack of grading the project led to a lower grade. I know it was filed correctly but the school chose not to acknowledge it. Of course I reached out to that Professor who never responded. MANY Professors never answer student emails. NEVER. How is this even acceptable, especially for students that take on-line courses. There's no other means to contact them. MANY on-line courses have areas of the program that just don't work. Even after many students complain the course never gets fixed. This also affects grades. When needing to change a time for graduation they have you email the "graduation office". BUT, there is no such office!!! An there's NO ONE that can help with that either. I can say on a positive note that the Dual Enrollment Office is exceptionally helpful! Mrs. Romano is fantastic! There are only a few Professors that I had that are good and a few great. Unfortunately it doesn't seem the Professors are monitored/evaluated the way they should be. Reviews are left for a reason.

My name is Samaril Vellavoor, and I graduated from Palm Beach State College in December 2024. I was a dual enrollment student through Seminole Ridge Community High School, but unfortunately, I didn’t finish my Associate of Arts degree in time to graduate with it alongside my high school diploma. Thirty-six of my peers in the Class of 2024 achieved that milestone and received special recognition for doing so—I was not among them. My home campus was Loxahatchee Groves, and I also participated in the NextGen Summer Bridge Program. However, my overall experience at PBSC was disappointing. I found it best suited for students who are either not pursuing an AA degree or who plan to transfer to Florida Atlantic University (FAU). As someone who was specifically interested in studying game design, the opportunities were extremely limited. In Florida, the main public university options for game-related programs are the University of Florida (UF) and the University of Central Florida (UCF). UF’s Digital Worlds Institute offers a BA in Digital Arts and Sciences, but their program requires a portfolio demonstrating skills across three categories. Unfortunately, neither middle school, high school, nor community college adequately prepared me with those skills, and as a result, that door was closed to me. I currently attend UCF, but I remain unhappy with the path that led me here. PBSC offers very few courses tailored to students who are serious about entering the game design industry. In hindsight, I believe the educational pipeline from high school through community college did not set me up for success in this field. At my PBSC graduation ceremony, I experienced a moment that felt especially alienating: I was peer-pressured into standing for both the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem. As an anarchist, this conflicted with my personal beliefs, but the pressure to conform was strong, and I felt I had no real choice. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time I had been made to feel uncomfortable for my views—back in high school, I was openly scolded and criticized by both peers and authority figures for choosing to exercise my right not to observe these rituals. Those experiences left me feeling isolated and disrespected in spaces that were supposed to support my development. My advice to other students is this: Don’t just attend the community college that’s geographically closest to you. Instead, choose one that has strong articulation agreements or transfer pathways with the university you ultimately want to attend—especially if you’re aiming for a specialized program. Planning early and strategically can make all the difference in your ability to access and succeed in competitive fields like game design.
