St. Johns River State College is a public college in Northeast Florida, United States, with campuses in Palatka, St. Augustine, and Orange Park. Founded in 1958 as St. Johns River Junior College, a historically black college, it is part of the Florida College System. It is one of several colleges in the system designated in 2001 as a "state college", meaning they can offer more bachelor degrees and academic programs than traditional community colleges.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: at just $5,808/year and a median debt of $8,323, this is one of the most affordable paths to a degree you'll find anywhere in Florida. However, the 46% graduation rate means fewer than half of students who start here actually finish, which is worth taking seriously before enrolling. If you're self-motivated, have a clear plan, and need to keep costs low, this school can work — but go in with eyes open and a solid support strategy.
