The teachers here are really helpful, and if help is ever needed, their doors are always open. Mr. L. Harris is the best math teacher ever. There's no way you cannot earn an A in math if he's your instructor. Gulf Coast is known to have one of the best science programs in the country -- that means it is super challenging. With subjects such as Chemistry and Physics, I highly encourage study groups. It is very relieving to discuss with classmates the tons of information thrown at you in a lecture. Everyone has that one concept that they can grasp and master. Working together and brainstorming can ensure that everyone gets help. Maybe your classmate can explain in a way that the instructor cannot.

It's not a huge university, and you don't get the full college experience (dorm life). I would rather be at an university. It's in a small town, so it's difficult to find social activities. Maybe the upside to that is coursework gets more attention. I've been in Panama City all of my life, so of course I'm ready to leave. Nonetheless, the campus has a relaxed ambiance.

I cannot really comment because in the cut of the Bright Futures Scholarships, but work during the summer, if attending full-time. Apply for as many scholarships as possible. (Shout-out to Cappex!)
Buy USED books.

Stay focused. Apply for tons of scholarships. Join the Student Support Services. Bring snacks for lunch (the food is expensive!). If you are not from Panama City, move to a location that is very close to the campus (gas is a significant percentage of living expenses). Buy used books, and buy your books as early as possible. Apply for the PELL GRANT!!!!

Science majors, independent and disciplined, socially sophisticated, and the financially frugal

It is a good College. I enjoy going there to classes and also learning online

Make sure you attend your classes and study and you will be just fine.

Some teachers require a lot of work from thei students but it is all so you can learn more

I do not know about Dorm Life , I am out of campus student

WE have a great cafeteria.

There is a lot of fun activities going on always.

I have never had any trouble with safety. Campus security watches over students and teachers

A great school where people love to help you do your best.

Alway remember to have fun and stay focused.

I've always felt challenged in my class/homework at GCSC.

Great food and good hard working staff.

Chill with my friends and read.

It's real nifty how everyone works together to make your experience a memorable one. Both the teachers and adminstration want to help you in your individuals needs and in what you really need to graduate and succeed as both a person and student. I just loved orientation - lots of helpful information!

I definitely think that this was my best pick out of the needles in the haystack.

I think that if you set your mind to it, you can accomplish anything and conquer your studies. There's something for everybody here!

Eh, no dorm avalibility around, but I chose it because I want to be near my family and friends. There's more concentration, less chaos and no immoral lifestyle.

If you like fast-food, pizza and tex-mex, you're gonna like it alot. And the cafeteria is huge too - I got lost in it.

The SGA club has lots fun activites year-round, I was excited just listening at orientation!

They try their best in making sure your econmically stable and help you out in any issues or dilemas you might be having.

Once a year they do a zombie-attack night which is totally cool - if you're into that sort of thing. It's like one all around campus zombie tag - complete with the make-up!

It's really important to concentrate in your studies and not get distracted so often - so they have this Ginormous library to help you out and for your everyday use! How sweet is that?!

They have clubs and social events for everyone. I don't think you can ever get bored here when there's so many things to do.

Ummm...Not interested in that stuff, so I wouldn't really have a clue.

Oh, they consider safety one of their utmost top priorities - they give out tickets if you don't have a parking decal!
