I haven’t even started my classes yet and I already Wanna get out of here. I have never seen such an unorganized and uniformed staff. I was told by the financial aid department that I would receive free tuition from financial aid AND be sent extra money for my first semester. I was thrilled until last night, the day before my first class, I was sent an email that said I was dropped from all my classes due to lack of payment…..okay….? I go there the next morning to ask what happened and if I could get my classes back and they tell me that my financial aid didn’t cover everything and we still owed them like $ 100 or something petty like that so that’s why they dropped me. And I was like, why didn’t you warn me rather then sending me email right before class?? I received no worning or anything from them. And of course my spot wasn’t taken in all of my classes so I couldn’t get back in. So basically we were given false information and then kicked out of class because of THEIR mistake. So I had to choose a whole new schedule that was different from my first choice. They didn’t even do anything to make up for their mistake other than tell me I need to choose new classes when there were hardly any classes left. I am disgusted by this school and by how unorganized and unhelpful they are. The guidance office is not helpful either so if you are someone who is unsure of your major or just need extra help don’t go here!! The councelors literally just sit there and stare at you as you pick your classes and give no advice unless you dig it out of them. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this school and unfortunately for me, at this point it’s to late to apply anywhere else…

Such a horrible experience I had today at PBSC, I’m completely disappointed on how they treated me today and honestly is making me think twice if I should start classes in August or just go somewhere else.
First of all, trying to communicate from someone of Palm Beach is difficult, they never pick up the phone, never answer emails and there’s no way to get in contact with them, and since I didn’t have any contact information, I decided to go to campus to get help with my financial aid. The people on the office/admission center are terribly rude, always gossiping between them and truly never paying attention to your needs, they are rude, incompetent, and they give you horrible looks. When I asked for help, they barely spoke, and when they did, they spoke with an attitude, and honestly, I didn’t do anything or said anything to be treated like that. When I finally got help with my financial aid, I was told I could chose my schedule. I asked again and the answer of that lady was “I thought you already had one” rolling her eyes and in a very rude tone. Then, they helped me trying to make a registration to choose my classes on campus. The other lady asked me if I got my financial AID and I said no because it wasn’t approved because I don’t have a green card yet. Long story short, after everything she told me, she literally said “If you do not have for books, then is better not to come to class”.
I feel so dissatisfied, disappointed and overall SAD! I was planning on starting my classes on August, but If I was treated like this on the admission center, I can’t imagine how am I going to be treated when u pay for my tuition and start classes. How sad.

If you want see an advisor I suggest you visit more than one and DO NOT go see SHERRY FLETCHER!! She is an African American woman with short curly hair and walks fast with a hop skip, and usually wears short dresses even though she appears to be 65 years of age. She will take you in circles and even recommended classes you DO NOT NEED. I went in today and I ended up having to have her go through what few classes I have left to finally leave this hell hole. She blocked me from taking any other courses except for the one class that she chose for me to take in fall semester. I refused to only be able to take one course in the semester especially since I am almost done with school. I went to her to tell her to remove whatever lock she has on class registration and she refused! I have never been so angry with another human being. Now I have to go through the Dean to explain the situation and try to get it handled. Please if you know what’s best for you DO NOT go to SHERRY FLETCHER for advising. And make sure u see multiple advisors before u go picking classes because they will set you back.
