Miami Dade College Top Questions

there's nothing bad about the school so far.

The worst thing about my school would be that they are not organized enough. They lose papers etc.

The worst thing about my school is academic advising department's structure. With many students being commuters and online coursetakers, having an advising department that requires physically showing-up to wait for an available advisor is inconvenient - especially for those of us who have to work during regular business hours to pay our waysthrough school. On online advising chat option on the school's website (where you can schedule a chat with an advisor for a future date/time), or Saturday advising hours, should really be implemented to cater to the majority of students working their way through school.

Personally, the worst thing about school is arriving to school. I live almost 20 minutes away -and with traffic in the morning- it can get very hectic. Since I decided to go to a community college for my first two years, I am not fond of waking up several hours before school starts to get to class on time. On the other hand, once I transfer I will make sure I either live on campus or that I can walk to class.

I really have nothing to complain about, the classes/professors/learning environment have been a great experience thus far.

I'd have to say the worst thing I consider about my school is how unappreciative the students are of education. Most of the students in my classes come in late, disrespect the professor, don't turn in assignments, don't take school seriously, etc. All they want is a certificate to make the family proud, but in reality don't appreciate the value of getting an education and actually trying to reach a goal and make a dream come true.

I have been goin back and forth for the two months finalizing all the details for my financial aid. Last week I thought all my worries about receiving aid were completely gone. Little did I know that this inconsistent and utterly CARELESS school was missing a form that is vital for my financial aid. They made no attempt to contact me and say: "Sir you are missing a form." No sir, I still wouldnt have discoverd this if it were not from an email from the government informing me that I had received an award.

The parking would have to top the list, there's always trouble finding parking during certain hours of the day, I've known people who've had to come 2 hours early for their class just to find parking. I myself was once stuck looking for parking for almost and hour and 30 minutes. I guess the reason would have to be that though they did find some room to make extra parking they didn't have the money to make it inside parking rather than outside thus limiting their availability.

I think the worst thing about my school is that the textbooks are very expensive. Most of the students cannot get a textbook because of lack of money. I think its a rip off for so much money. And the fact that other people will be using the same book the following semester, I think they should be borrowed at a lower reasonable price.

Well when they do random repaires and block off a whole section so we have to walk 10mins just reach a 2 min walk class
