Florida Institute of Technology Top Questions

The worst thing about Florida Tech is that the campus remodeling projects do not get completed on time. It bothers me because I am paying the facility fee and most likely will not be able to use all of the brand new facilities.

The school is too expensive for my taste. Coming from a family that works hard for money, I get immersed into a society that spends money in a manner that is too carefree. Many of my friends are much wealthier than I am, but in order to particpate in school activities, I have to spend just as much as they do. I couldn't find time to work, and if I did, I still wouldn't have enough spending money. I recommend that students should come to this school with plenty of cash and a budget in mind.

The cost of tuition because it is rediculously expensive. Yes it is a private institution, but it is still overpriced. I'm not sure if the amount of money it costs to go there is really going to pay off in the end. It's about $30,000 to attend per year, and I have not been that impressed by the campus or any of the equipment (they say it's a very hands on school but I haven't even been on a school trip!).

The administration focuses on furthering the schools academic pursuits and the currents students seems to be left behind.

The dorm room conditions are deplorable. They leak and flood our personnal belongings, that doesn't compare to the asbestos that was found.

Melbourne isn't exactly the most "hoping" place in the world. There are lots of good stores and Melbourne is close to Orlando, Cocoa, Titusville, and Sebastain. There's lots of stuff to do, but not much within a short walk of campus. If you don't have a car, pray that your friends do.

I consider the size a double edge sword, as it does allow more attention from professors, it is limiting in options as far as life long friends are concerned. Also the small percentenage of women some how makes them more competive and harder to approach to seek freindship.

Well because we're Tech-Based there aren't all that many women. That could be better.

The age of some of the buildings.

The school is very small. It is trying to grow, but it is doing it in the wrong ways.
