The evaluation said:
鈥溕釺V ranks in the top three for affordability of tuition, fees, books and supplies. It also came in the top three for graduation rate and in the top 10 for its transfer rate to the State University System of Florida (SUSF). 色库TV also offers credit for life experience and on-site child care, both of which can be a big help for busy students.
鈥淭he perks don鈥檛 stop there, however: Cultural centers like its 2,000-seat Maxwell C. King Center for the Performing Arts and the Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory - home to one of the largest public-access telescopes in the state - open minds and create meaningful learning experiences community-wide.鈥
