IT's a great school if the student would open up their eyes a bit. It offers so much, rare too many institutions.

The school is too large, this is definitely not a college town, and not enough school pride.

One thing that I would change about FIU is the university's size. FIU is fairly small and I wish it would grow more. However, sometimes having a larger student body/campus means that you lose being able to get to know someone -- and I would not be willing to sacrifice that.

FIU always has something going on, there is always an organization commanding your attention in the Graham Center. Also, no matter how big FIU is, there is always an opportunity to receive individual consult and advice. I've always been pleased with FIU. Parking is an issue but it's taught me how to stalk people coming out of the elevator.

It is a large school with many options. Most people think FIU is a low rank school, however, in recent years our prestige is quickly rising. It set in Miami where its great to be a colleg student because of the beach, night clubs and great ethnic foods. I would say a pride is definitely growing. This University will be well known in a couple of years with its new Law school and very new medical school.

FIU's culture can be brought together by the word diversity. Take that word and apply it to lifestyles also and that is what FIU is about.

The best thing about FIU is the flexibility it offers students and the ability for students to work and study. I also like the environment of the campus, it is very relaxed and carefree. I wish it was less of a commuter school, but then again this is what distinguishes us from all others. Since it is a commuter school, I think it deters school spirit at times and causes low attendance to school events. Among the most frequent student complaints is the parking situation and the class selection. There has also been controversy over the amount of online classes and summer classes available.
