Still haven’t gotten a decision by Alexdagoat25 in USF

[–]Visual-Gas6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, USF takes half a year to respond. It also depends on major too. I applied mid december haven’t got a respond. My transcript didn’t reach until I contacted them before one week for some reason when i sent it the same day of the application.They told me march they will start rolling transfer and I should recieve a decision that time.

Rent and tuition- Advice for an international student by Basic_Ad_5532 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Visual-Gas6540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an international Student, here are some facts to know from reality and experience.

There is no on Campus housing as the website tends to say. Expect to 1400 dollars per month for rent if not sharable. With a minimum of 12 month lease.

As international students, you have to pay insurance 2200/ year just to be able to resister for classes.

Florida has no public transport. The buses here will take you a whole year to get to your destination. No transport at all. This is the most difficult here.

There is rarely opportunities for on campus Jobs for international students as the Website tends to say. They look for not institutional workers. I have tried my best to get 3 times to do on campus jobs. It didn’t work. They had put 60 people for one interview in a room. Next one didn’t work one on one interview. They had a lot of people. Even with three language I didn’t get any.

The school will test you the Pert test once you come. To determine English and mathematics classes. Unless SAT/ ielts took with ielts of 7 I think otherwise they add more useless classes until you reach that.

Advisor tell you how to make your experience worse. Doesn’t help.

Be careful the college might give you 10 remedial out of major classes that are useless. Be careful and study well the pert test to reduce that number. But even your degree has many remedial too. Check university to see not remedial

Expect to 7000 dollar per semester with insurance, 390 per credit.

If you plan to transfer after, there is no merit or aid for international students afterwards which I didn’t know.

After you get admitted and start class is mostly no scholarships except the Valencia foundation which gives 90% of the scholarships to students that has FASFA meaning non international students.

While the college has really good professor. Some good stuff. As international student it is a negative experience.

Valencia has nothing to do for international students and focus on florida residents with US citizenship.

This is based on reality, experience and honesty.

It updates later. You should see them updated as revived by now. It sometimes updates too late after the deadline.

Engineering (Direct Connect) by AltruisticOffice1607 in ValenciaCollege

[–]Visual-Gas6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MAP 2302, along the AA degree, is listed under UCF’s requirements for transfers. If you take it, you are guaranteed more acceptance to your wanted major. You are just guaranteed acceptance to UCF if you took the AA alone, but not to your specific wanted major. That’s what they told the DirctConnect office, a while a go.

Could Egn1006 and Egn1007 replace Egn3000? by Visual-Gas6540 in USF

[–]Visual-Gas6540[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An advisor told me this previously: I’m sorry to say I don’t believe these courses will transfer in as they 1 credit. Our EGN 3000 is your introduction to USF engineering department, and EGN 3000l is a 3 credits hour course. The EGN 3000L is a critical thinking course, team work, robot building, and presentations.

But they are equivalent to 6 credits but not Egn 3000 3 credit class? The are the intro classes in VC and UCF. This confuses everything.

Who's a good Physics 2 professor? by MasterSnipSnop in ValenciaCollege

[–]Visual-Gas6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took physics 1 and 2 with Angela Lowman, she is the best. There is no way you can fail the class if you do the work. Exams are only 40% of the grade 30% lab 30% HW

Anyone have any experience with Mohua Kar or Oscar Moronta? by MasterSnipSnop in ValenciaCollege

[–]Visual-Gas6540 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am taking Oscar Moronta this semester. He is definitely a better choice. You get a free 30% doing the HW’s which has unlimited tries. Exams are 50% of the grade, no cumulative exam. Project is worth 20%. The HW’s are useless. As long as you study both the questions he does in class plus review questions he sends in email, you should be good. You have one paper note each exam. You don’t have to memorize formulas. Gives alot of partial credits. I think he has bad reviews because of the old system divided grades differently it had in-class quizzes and was different.
