Florida International University Top Questions

Before I came to this school I wish I had known about the DRC which is the disability research center. Initially, I was concerned with my grades and my learning capacity since I have ADD and ADHD, but once I joined the school I realized that the DRC is a huge help in regards to learning disabilities.

The workload was really heavy my first year. I was not used to that and took seventeen credit hours--abig mistake.

Just how to plan classes together, a better academic plan of study

Everything I needed to know about financial aid and graduate school requirements.

I wish I had known about some of the class sizes, I wouldve picked better classes.

I wish I had known how much I would love to work in the advertising industry. FIU's Mass Communications program is one of the best, and I know I would've excelled as one of their students. If there is one thing I learned after college, however, is that it's never too late to do what you love. I am happy to say that my Bachelor's degree in English Literature still helped me strengthen the reading and writing skills I have used since to enter the industry.

What my post graduate degree would focus on so that I could have been better oriented and started off strong.

The price. I always knew college was expensive, but until I actually sat down and started calculating numbers I realized reality. I chose a school because I liked the campus, the communty, never once did I look at the price and the struggle it would bring to my parents.

The sheer number of students and how long it would take to become classified as an in-state resident for tuition purposes!

I would have liked to know how difficult it is to park and that I need to come very early to avoid crowds. I would also liked to have know about how big the campus was and how difficult it is to get around the campus.
