This is a video located in FIU’s library. Robert talks about the stereotypes of FIU and why he chose FIU.

Annette tells us her thoughts on FIU

In a nutshell: we're diverse group of individuals, but we all get along and are daily challenged to meet the expectations of teachers -something I know they do to prepare us for the real world.

Our student body is VERY diverse. I have never seen or heard about any gay bashing or racially motivated problems here. Everyone really seems to get along and it is great to cruise through the Graham Center and see various groups represented almost daily with booths and exibitions on the dance floor area.

a student who is a small towner and not into communicating much, interacting, or experinceing new things may suffer some culture shock. because these students tend to skeep to themselves and not really congregate to find each other. but for the most part, with all the diversity, there's bound to be a niche for you. most students are from the south florida area or from another country...but then again most people fromthe south florida area are from another country...lol! :o)

Student body is great in terms of social and organizational skills. They do a great job when it comes to activities. However, it is a little unsettling that the majority of officials in SGA are Greek while the majority of students are not. This begs the question, how is it democracy?

FIU is a commuter school, and I like it that way. The students are generally Cuban-American, upper-class, and vote conservative in a vague way.

Though many students do not care about learning and go to school simply because its routine, there are a lot of students who try their hardest to excel in the academic field.

For the most part, there are cliques just like in high school. Each sorority and fraternity has its own clique, for example.

sometimes student body is like a highschool...especially GC...the student population is segemented into cliques...its sad at the university level.
