What is unique about my school compared to other schools I considered is that FIU is extremely diverse. The diversity gives way to cultural growth which is beneficial to the whole student body. This diversity shapes people in extraordinary ways and has helped me grow in my views and awareness.

Unlike schools such as UF or FSU, Florida International University is situated in the heart of a culturally diverse city - the university is centered in the thriving metropolis of Miami, as opposed to a small city and population that is centered around its local university. This, as well as the diverse student body that attends it, makes FIU a rich source of international information and experiences.

The great thing about Florida International University is that it is one of the most diverse universities in the nation. Cultures and languages from all over the world can be found and experienced through an education at FIU. All cultures are accepted and the faculty is amazing at communicating with students.

As far as I know, there are more opportunities for study abroad since we have such a large international presence. I feel that there are more opportunities on learning about foreign cultures and languages.

The word "international" says it all! Located in the melting pot that is Miami, FIU provides exceptional education with a well-rounded student body and staff. As you venture out into the real world, it gets smaller and smaller, and having studied in such an eclectically cultured institution prepares you for the business oppportunities and relationships you will gain in any industry.

The size, the location, the students, and the faculty.

They were proud to say that they were chosen as the #1 school in America to graduate students with the LEAST amount of debt. That was appealing to me because I want to be able to keep a lot of the money I earn after graduation instead of paying off loans. I also liked that "International" was in their name. I felt like I was guaranteed diversity and traveling.

Being a local, I've had the opportunity to attend our great local community colleges for some years. This, however, is an experience unlike anyother for me. I'm surrounded by rich cultures that mesh to create the environment found at FIU. There are people from around the world here, from tropical locations to chilly regions; all of whom are now enjoying the great miami weather. Our Professors come from all walks of life and bring their experiences to one, sunny and often humid, south florida location. There's no greater place than FIU and it's amazing location.
