At Florida A&M University everyone is so nice. I'm sure people can be nice at institutions, but here it's like everyone is looking out for you. If it's a job opportunity, or just a "how are you doing today," some one on that campus is going to make sure you feel at home.

Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University is a historical black college, and was rated in the top 15 of the best colleges. This school is unique in many ways because you are introduced to many people of different backgrounds and cultures.

My school acts as one big family, we all have come familiar with eachother and in little ways help one another. The teachers are very helpful and educates us on the real world.

Florida Agricultual and Mechanical University, is first of all, a HBCU (Historical Black College or University). So instead of other schools that I applied to, I am around peers who are just like me. Students who have similar backgrounds and goals. This school had alot to offer be.

I have applied to many school in Florida such as: USF, Uf, and FAMU. I have been accepted into USF and FAMU, but I perferred FAMU because of all the pleasing compliments I have heard from numerous people, those whom are attending and those of whom my mother is friends with. When I finally came here to FAMU for my first semester I have truly met many who are willing to help with any diffuculties and many who are caring. Also, there are those who will encourge you to do your best when you feel like there is no hope.

Shayda
I really wanted to go to Florida State University(FSU) but i was denied, so I applied to my second choice school, Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University(FAMU), and i was accepted. I never regret putting in an apllication for this University. Actually, Im glad that FSU did not accept me because i love it at FAMU . FAMU is unique because of its different approaches to cultures being that it is an HBCU, they make sure that we are in touch with our ancestory yet doesn't offend any other race. FAMU embraces all races and makes everyone feel heard.
Bobby
FAMU is the best HBCU to attend.

Keairra
What?s unique about my school is the fact that it is a HBCU school. The school band is very talented which reflects the school as well. Florida A&M University?s famous band known as ?Marching 100? is very prestigious, they've played at the Presidents inauguration and many big events as well. The band is the exact example of the environment and a wonderful feeling to experience the attachment of FAMU?s family. It's home away from home. Florida A&M University is a close family oriented school and family oriented environment as well.
Christopher
The unique things about my school compared to the other schools that I considered is that we have many people that have been sucessful compared to the other schools i considered such as the rapper Common, the U.S House Of Represenatives Kendrick Meek, and tennis great Althea Gibson. This university has a rich history starting from 1887 and was one of the first historically black colleges in the nation. Still to this day there is a pride of being a "Rattler" and the spirit has drawn me to this school F.A.M.U.
Jessica
Florida A&M University is an institution that prides it?s self on excellence for their students. A few qualities that set?s my school apart for other universities is that , the students, are prepared to apply our knowledge, critical thinking skills and creativity as service for our community. As a first-year student I can honest say the atmosphere here; mimic?s that of a true home away from home. We are often times granted the opportunity to be in the presence of people who have achieved great success during their time, which only amplifies our mission of excellence.
Ivana
Florida A&M is like a small community. Everyone greets and acknowledges everyone with the same respect and geniality as their own family. It's very hard not to find someone to like and share ideas with here.
Ife
The unique thing about my school is that it is a historically black university. I mean it allowed me to see and get in touch with my roots (African American) . I love the fact that I feel a sense of belonging, the professors are great, and students work diligently.

My school is unique beacuse I feel like the professors care about there students more than ever. We are like a big family anytime help is needed it will be given to you soon as possible. Florida A and M continues to help students throughtout their career. The alunmis are a big help also. we support each other in everything we do for example, putting on programs to aware people about didfferent situations. I love and respect my school. People lifes have been changed here and I want to be apart of that for our generation.
