Lake Worth, Florida

🏫 Public UniversityEst. 1933🔗 www.palmbeachstate.edu

Palm Beach State College, Florida's first public junior college, founded in 1933, occupies its original, largest campus on 114 acres in Lake Worth - the college does not currently offer on-campus housing, so all students commute or live off-campus, and with no football team of their own, PBSC's own Panthers encourage students to cheer on nearby Florida Atlantic University's Owls instead.
