Florida International University Top Questions

Florida International University is very diverse when it comes to the students attending, courses, and professors. It is a young school and therefore very up to date technology is used in it's classrooms and libraries.

It was in the vibrant city of Miami. We had everything and anything we wanted at our disposal including, but not limited to a great nightlife, beach and loads of opportunities to suceed.

The unique thing about Florida International University is that we have numerous opportunities to succeed. We have the biggest campus in South Florida, where you can meet new friends that will last a life time. We have a very diverse school, where we can network all the time. This school has 2 smaller campuses within 50 mile range and they offer a FIU transit bus system, so one doesn’t have to worry about driving. This is how Florida International University is unique.

Honestly, Florida International University is an affordable school, so it was definitely a good option. Also, it has two big "main" campuses, The Modesto Maidique Campus and the Biscayne Bay Campus. Both have a big distance between them but it gives any potential student different choices when it comes to travelling to school, as one campus could be closer to home than the other, and each campus has it's appeals.

Once you considered all the different qualities a school should have, you realize that F.I.U is the most complete and well balanced one. It is not very expensive but at the same time it has a great educational level. My school has also a very friendly environment; you will definitely make friends and get help everywhere you turn around. There are always something fun to do at F.I.U, if you like to party you will have plenty of opportunities. In general is a great experience that you should not miss.

I agree we have parking issues and a commuter population. But hey...every school has its faults. You can't expect the perfect?! FIU is filled with academics, sports, and involvements. I emphasize on them three because I know their importance in this school. We are a new school but have grown with immense potential. From an empty airfield to a huge campus! We made the rankings which amazing programs. Such growth! Reminds me of my own growth spurt..haha

FIU has their own card called the FIU One Card that, while used as a regular ID in most schools, also allows students and faculty to connect a WellsFargo account for the card to be used to purchase items on and off campus. Those without and/or unwilling to get a WellsFargo account may also load up the cards themselves to be used only for bus fare fromone campus to the next, as well as for printers and the like.

Here at FIU, you can do pretty much whatever you like. There's enough diversity that you'll definitely find a group to fit in with, and there are tons of classes to choose from. The professors, in my experience, are fair and there's plenty of tutoring available. Take advantage of all the resources they provide here for free!

FIU is a secret. The in-state cost is a downright bargain. I have friends who went to UM across the city in Coral Gables and they cannot point to any superiority in terms of academics, programs however may vary.

Based on my experience with the Mechanical Engineering Department of FIU I can honestly say the professors are caring and professional. Also, there many educational and professional development opportunities available to motivated students. For example, there is tutoring offered for mathematics and writting, career fairs per semester, speaker sessions , awsome student organizations and more.
