I have been attending FSW since 2018 while I was finishing my senior year of High School. I have already graduated with my Associates Degree in General Studies, I am now pursuing my AS in Paralegal Studies. All of my professors have been spectacular! There are a few professors that I have raved about over the years and thoroughly enjoyed their lectures. FSW definitely knows how to pick good professors. The majority of my professors have been very engaging and helpful in my educational studies and I would absolutely take them all again if given the chance. FSW is a great college to attend and is quite affordable in comparison to other options. Considering the education that is given, they are a great option for students.
Hello, My name is Paul,
I have attended two semesters of college. Even though being an adult learner, single parent, and working full-time has been extremely difficult, I really enjoy this college. The staff and people here have been so helpful, from getting me enrolled to the experienced professors. The campus is pretty easy to navigate and the layout is functional for what we need. The campus is clean and has the amenities we need to assist in our academic careers. The only issue I have previously encountered is having my advisor changed 3 times in just two semesters, all were helpful and adequate. This is unusual, and due to promotions and other unknown situations, I only wish there was more communication as to why I had to change advisors multiple times. Overall, it is a great school, and I am proud to be attending here. I hope you consider me for the scholarship/grant that I am applying for to better my life and my daughters with a degree in Nursing. Thank you for your time.

Hate it here! No one cares about working hard. FGCU got all the funding and resources while FSW was left with nothing. Also compared to curriculums from other states, FSW's is horribly behind. Only go to this place if you plan on staying in SW Florida for mediocre/basic nursing or construction jobs.
