I have been a panther since the beginning of this fall semester and so far I am enthralled not only by the facility itself but by the quality of education provided. It is all quite exciting and ultimately amazing.

Sofia

I love the people you meet there. One thing i would change to have more dorms on campus. I love that FIU so big. When I tell people about FIU that they love it. I spend most of my time at the gym, thats where like everyone hangs out. I love the school admistration. FIU has a lot of school pride. The school doesn't have anything unusual that I haven't noticed yet. The most student complaints is bills or when student drop classes and want a refund.

FIU has amazing food and restaurants! Those which include Chilli's, Subway, Einstein Bagels, Chik fil A, Starbucks, and way more! This school is huge, definitely too large, but that suits most people since everyone is very social and outgoing. It also has the second highest number of foreign students in the state of Florida, most of them being Hispanic, which is not that big of a shocker since it is located in Miami. The main campus is very entertaining! It contains a pool area, a gym, several play rooms, and a six floor library. There are various campuses throughout South Florida, but the transportation system serves great for this purpose.

Students complain all the time about their professors, since they are all usually foreign and have thick accents. The main campus is very entertaining!

Admissions to FIU is one of the most competitive in the state.

I believe FIU is a great school. It was actually the only school I applied to as a high school student, and I have always wanted to come here. There are many benefits at FIU such as great professors, many resources such as the learning center, a tutoring center, and a large variety of on campus food venders. FIU is very large and is continuously growing. For some this might be a bad thing, and it is when it comes to parking. However, we should take pride in our school for being so large, diverse, and ultimately becoming world renowned. I love Florida International University.

Overall FIU is a good college experience. when it comes to tuition, your getting a great price for university credit. Even though parking seems to be an issue at times, they are constantly trying to improve the traffic and parking situation. There is plenty of school spirit with constant events held by SPC. This campus is pretty active and one will always see something happening. As long as one does everything on time and accordingly, you should have no problems getting classes, books or financial aid.

FIU is one of the best university's out there. I wouldn't change one thing about it. Its size is just right and the people you meet there will forever stay in your heart. A great benefit is that the professors are always willing to help you, whether in class or in office hours. One of my favorite things of my school is its pride! Whether by joining a club or attending the sport games, students at FIU do their best to support their outstanding school. GO PANTHERS!

Stevens

Definitely a College Town atmosphere, everyone on campus is so friendly and willing to help you if you have any questions. The school size is just right and is getting a lot bigger in population. People are amazed that I'm at FIU and congratulate me for such an achievement. Most of my time I spend it in class since I have back to back to back classes everyday. The school's administration is very professional and punctual meaning they are on top of their game when it comes to aiding students with their requests. School pride is always the key to the success of this school. Almost every student on campus proud of being a panther by wearing gear of FIU. The one thing students complain about frequently is the parking in school but every semester it is getting much better and more room to park. One experience I will always remember is my Freshman Orientation. The presentation and experience was amazing and was excited to start my first semester. and the Best thing about FIU is the diversity on campus. The school is rich in different cultures, races, ethnicities, religions, and sex affiliations. The school offers numerous majors that you can embrace into your career.

Lawrence

Florida International University is a respected college, primarily due to its School of Business and it has expanded its resources to include a School of Law and a medical school. The college hosts approximately 40,000 students, with numerous locations throughout Miami-Dade and Broward Counties. The South Florida region is much less of a college town, as compared to Tallahassee and Gainesville upstate and Boston, Massachusetts. For those who enjoy a large college, FIU hosts 2 large campuses, the Modesto Maidique Campus and the Biscayne Bay Campus. People have a positive reaction when I say I attend FIU, but not nearly as positive as the one I've witnessed by others who have said that they attend University of Miami. The school has somewhat of a decent selection of degree programs. On the downside, the persons I often encounter when I have a scheduling conflict are highly unknowledgeable about my concerns. I often have to navigate through several departments to receive a legitimate answer or payment correction. I have witnessed the level of pride of FIU, although it is not nearly as great as the pride of University of Miami.
