The whole time I was at PBSC I was very unhappy and miserableand due to growing demand of my attention in school and work I had to choose priorities instead of a bettereducation. Think about that for a second and let that sink in. I’m not the only student who feels this way and ifanyone reads this I would like to be contacted about more of my unpleasant experience at PBSC.I took two Spanish courses, Level I and Level II. There was no Level III offered at any of the PBSC, otherwise I wouldhave taken it. The pandemic struck after I completed my second class. I enjoyed doing those evening classesenormously. I was 72 and doing them for my own pleasure.I’m still going to palm beach stateBecause I have to help my kids at home with virtualI love college. If it was 100% open I’d be going right now.
