Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Unknown  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright I was surprised by PBCC. I found the administration to be helpful although somewhat swamped in unneccessary processes and requirements. The faculty for the most part are smart and helpful, and in my experience they want you to do well and they will facilitate your success. Compared to nearby FAU which is much more expensive, I felt lucky as my friends were tossed into 300-person lecture classes with varying degrees of being able to understand their professors (not just language-wise, but what the professors wanted academically!). My classes here are small--under 30-40. I really like that, and I get individual attention. I spent a semester at a large state school and learned next to nothing. At PBCC, though it does not extend past 2-year requirements, I actually learned everything taught in my classes. Faculty Accessibility: A, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?

At PBCC you will find that most of the students lack any sort of scholastic aptitude, any sort of ambition and any kind of social values or morals. The vast majority of the students at PBCC have absolutely no clue about what is happening in the world, and are completely ignorant about the world around them. The student body is comprised almost entirely by people who couldn't care less about their education, and wish only to suck up some Pell Grant money before they go out for the night to perpetrate a wide variety of crimes. So far, in less than 2 years time, I have encountered students in a college level English course who COULDN'T SPEAK ENGLISH, a student getting into a confrontation with a Professor that nearly ended with the student being arrested, threats from other students, and a general level of ineptitude that I find completely unacceptable. Listen, this place is a trashy, piece of garbage school because thats what most of the students who go here want it to be: Trash that they can just live off of for a few years. There is hardly anyone who cares about actually receiving an education, and the few that do get swept away in the never ending waves of stupidity that come crashing against them in every class. If you value your time and money, and sincerely want to receive a decent education, DO NOT COME TO PALM BEACH COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!!! Faculty Accessibility: B+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

The classes are reasonably sized and much cheaper than nearby FAU. The students are often unintelligent or unmotivated, which makes it difficult to do any kind of group project. Many teachers are far too lenient with grades and assignments, which is really a disservice to students. However, you CAN learn here. Pick your courses and your instructors wisely (utilize websites like ratemyprofessors.com) and you will have a redeeming experience. There are so many gifted teachers here - please seek them out. I don't regret my experience here. There was good and there was bad, but overall I think I've benefitted immensely. Faculty Accessibility: A-, Extracurricular Activities: F Have a Question?
