Seminole State College - Sanford/Lake Mary Campus

This review is for the campus and facility as I attended Google Developers DevFest 2023. Well maintained functional facility and campus. Didn't expect it to be so scenic. Heard about a planetarium but didn't get to see it. The seats in the classrooms were comfortable.

Affordable, small classes and several locations in Seminole county. Hands on theatre program.
Variety of majors. Some 4 yr degrees. Guaranteed admission to Florida Universities upon completion .

I've worked at Seminole State for 15 years, and I can honestly say it's the best place I've ever taught.

My supervisors are considerate and helpful to both the faculty and the students. The student/instructor ratio is relatively low, so students get more personal attention than they would at a big college.

Go State! Go Far!

After quite a few years off from college I decided to return this past semester. I have been super pleased with how helpful and encouraging the staff was in helping me to get enrolled again. I am currently in two classes and have been thoroughly enjoying them and my professors. I was kind of scared coming back to school, but everyone that I have dealt with has been really cool, friendly, and has made it a very joyful experience. I would highly recommend choosing Seminole State. I'm glad that I did and I'm glad that I'm back.

As a non-traditional student, I have had a great experience at Seminole State. From excellent professors who taught, encouraged and inspired me, to staff members who assisted me with admissions and financial aid, I have had an extremely positive experience.There is definitely something here for everyone! I received my AA in 2011 and continued on to get a BS in Business and Information Management in December 2013. There is even a career development center that will go out of their way to help you get a job along with your degree. I also made use of the free tutoring services. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely Go State!

Both my daughter and I are attending Seminole State College and enjoy love it here. I'm graduating next semester and will be sad to leave. The campus is so convenient to my house and I love my professors. Other than some understandably long wait times right before classes start, I've never had a problem with any of the staff members. Everyone has always been kind and helpful to me. When my son graduates high school, he'll be headed to SSC as well!

Seminole State College is a great way to start off your future. The professors here are incredible and they will work with you every step of the way. The process for me to get started here was very easy and laid back because the staff that were in admissions really helped me through the steps to enroll so I didn't have to worry about it. Seminole State set me in the right direction. I'm almost done with my A.S. and I couldn't be any happier that I get to receive my degree from Seminole State.

I have toured several state colleges and this one is by far one of the most appealing the buildings themselves continue to be up to date and are updated regularly. The student life portion really focuses on quality education leadership as well as making everyone aware on how they can improve their lives and their careers. Mauricio Garcia is extremely knowledgeable in areas such as Myers Briggs which I believe is a fundamental skill and tool needed to be taught to all college students. The entire staff of student life is absolutely wonderful but most of all the person that I can say is how the best is coordinator Marissa Millman. She is help motivate me to continue to achieve the best my education. I would definitely recommend this State College over Valencia as well as many other state colleges in the state, and absolutely to check out student life.

I have taken classes at Seminole State College since 2009 and have has a positive experience every step of the way. From the excellent customer service in student services to the expert instruction from the faculty this school will help you achieve the goal you have set for yourself. I would especially like to say that the math department is top notch. I was not a great math student when i started here and now i have successfully passed Intermediate Algebra, College Algebra, Trigonometry, Statistics, pre-calculus, and Calculus! The instructors were always so so helpful and there are so many other resources to help you. I am currently a UCF student after successfully getting my AA from Seminole State! Go Raiders!

I love Seminole State and find the negative reviews so surprising. Compared to my previous college, it was much easier to enroll and everyone helped me get through the process as quickly as possible. The professors are wonderful, the campus is beautiful and everyone has been so nice and helpful to me.

This is my second semester going back to college after having my 3 children and being 10 yrs out of school! They have made it as efficient as can be! Professors, financial aid, as well as advising have been more than helpful, and im looking forward to following their education pathway towards a direct connect to UCF! 😊

I've really enjoyed my first two semesters here. So far all of my professors have been great. So no complaints. If your looking for a good school I'd say give it a try.

Seminole state College has been nothing more than amazingly helpful with my case. As an international student, figuring out the papers that i need to get was the hardest point to get through with other colleges and unis, but not with seminole state. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.

I went to community college in New Jersey and transferred here in the beginning of 2017. I am glad I chose Seminole State because the students and faculty are friendly and the campus is beautiful. I disliked attending college before, but coming here has restored my love for formal education!

I am so thankful for SSC!!! Seminole State College has not only been for my college education but also my High school. I was able to attend their Adult high school and received my diploma quicker than I would have in a traditional high school or even "secondary high schools." Now on the college side I am still blown away by the staff at SSC, from the administration to the professors everyone is there to see you succeed! If you want a sound education to pursue a prosperous future come to SSC!

It's so crazy to me that my graduation is literally around the corner, I remember when I first started at Seminole State and now to know that I'm about to be done it's crazy to me. I remember being lost and confused and just scared because it was something different for me and I was going into something that was going to change the rest of my life. Although many people at Seminole state have touched me in the most incredible way but the two counselors that really touched me the most and really made a huge impact in my life would be Raquel Gray and Alvin Mitchell. These two counselors have always motivated and encourage me and just saw a light in me that I didn't see in myself. I remember when I was feeling really down one day and I decided to go see my counselor at the time which was Raquel Gray, I felt like no one was supporting me I felt lost, confused her words were "Don't feel like you're by yourself because here at Seminole State we are a family and all we want to do is help you in anyway that we can I encourage you to keep pushing and to never give up. " Those words alone have made a huge impact in my life and I'm forever grateful for her. Mr. Mitchell showed me a whole new light of education me going on the trip to BBCB and being the first Female to enter (SIMS) club made a huge impact in my life and now I see education in a different light. I can do anything if I put my mind to it and the only person that stops me is myself . All I can say is I am forever grateful to be a student at Seminole State College I learned at lot about myself in becoming a better student and yet a better person. I'm ready for my next chapter in my life and most importantly I'm ready to be a graduate!! From the bottom of my heart Seminole State thank you so much for the opportunities I can truly say that I have become a better person and it's only because of the people that work at Seminole State. THANK YOU SO MUCH #ForeveraRaider#GoState#GoFar

I received my A.A. Degree from here and now I’m in the process of becoming a medical professional! Tuition at SCC was very cheap, but they provide me with the top quality level education I needed to succeed in this growing medical field 🤓
Praise the Lord!
That he led me to attend this school!

Best community college with four campuses in Central Florida. Offers a lot of great classes and programs at many different times including weekends and online options. Have direct connection to UCF and upwards degree accreditations.

Was recently having a stressful situation with my textbooks. Put a call in to the bookstore and Marielle saved the day. She not only fixed the situation, but made a very stressful situation incredibly easy and painless. It is very much appreciated!!! Great experience!

This is my first semester at Seminole State and so far everything has been good. I'm enjoying my classes and I never had anything but a positive experience from admissions when trying to register.
