Need to decide for fall 2019 soon.Was hoping to hear some experiences for students who have chosen this path. How do it work out? Son would have to live near campus (not commute) How was the transfer process to FSU? the academics at TCC? The social like as a TCC student with FSU students? Please share all thoughts on this program. thanks
It was a great program for my daughter. She lived in an apartment near the FSU campus and went to FSU football games, parties wtih FSU students, etc. I don’t think there are many good/safe complexes near TCC but tons around FSU and it is only a few miles away. There is even a private dorm across from the FSU campus (Southgate) with public transportation to TCC. Transfer is easy, advising was accurate. The classes were smaller sized. Several times my daughter would have a professor teaching the same course at TCC and FSU. Just smaller class sizes at TCC. Her science labs were an equal mix TCC/FSU I think because labs are in short supply. I have nothing but good things to say about the program as a way to get to FSU!
What are your alternatives?
In any case, it’s a well-run program and it does lead to FSU.
thanks for your reply. The other choices are large state schools… Missisippi… Indiana, Alabama Tennessee etc… however we are in state in Florida so the others are extremely expensive. Did your daughter get into her chosen major? IT mentions limited majors the majority needing a 3.0 which has me concerned if less than that after 2 years about being able to get into FSU. Did her friends all transfer in as well with no problem? Was the southgate private dorm a party dorm? WAs she able to make friends at FSU before attending or were her friends TCC? Curious how it all works… thanks!
