Florida International University Top Questions

There are way too many students at this University and not enough parking spaces. It is a nightmare. You have to get to school an hour before your class just to make sure you can park your car!

First of all I attend Florida Memorial University which was not specified in the drop down menu. Its hard to find what the worst thing because I love my school so much but I will say that some students are rude to others rather than helping another person to be as successful in getting an education like them, maybe it is a way of feeling threatened by a liltle competition.

Sometimes communication can be hazy between departments. Ex. I've been sent back and forth between departments to try and get a straight answer to a question because no one knew the answer.

You have to take time out of your own schedule to make sure the staff is doing theirs (ie getting your money to you). Seriously if you wanted to do that you would have applied to be a supervisor, not a student.

I don't have anything negative to say about my school. It accomodates to all my needs as well as the needs of other students.

The worst thing about my school is the parking. Since it is a large school there is barely any parking pass 7:30 am in the morning.

I think the worse thing about Florida International University is the parking. The garages are always packed and all the spaces are always taken. It has taken me up to an hour to try to find parking at times. It can be fustrating.

Parking. Although there are several garages and parking lots there never seems to be enough for everyone.

The school is mostly commuter students so the sense of community isn't as strong as I imagined my college experience would bring.

the worst thing about my school is how big it is. Some classes are so far apart from eachother and it is a hassle to walk all over the place.

The worst thing about my school would probably be the area that the school is located . The school is in a highly Hispanic area. While this is not bad, it is bad if you do not speak any Spanish. This does not seem to be all too bad if one knows basic Spanish but it is a problem because it is hard for the minority of students at the school to effectively communicate with the local society.

FIU is a great school where I can recieve a great education, but I do wish that more degree programs were available such as the culinary arts and more education teaching programs besides physical fitness and elementary education.

The worst things about my school is the sometime lack of care for the students, even though Administration will always quickly declare that every decision is made with the students' best interest in mind. For instance lack of class availability which means graduation drifts further and further away for some. Also the financial aid office at the main campus should seriously consider doing monthly orientations to train their employees because it is likely to walk in get an answer to an inquiry and then return to only find out that you have been told the wrong thing!

Maybe the worst thing is standing in line to pay for classes; my school doesn?t accept Visa Card online so standing in line is really long and time consuming. Also the online course fee is ridiculously expensive.

Nothing. FIU has everything a student needs. They have the study areas, academic advising,financial advising, tutors, student living, student centers, cafeteria, and much more. I think any student who is interested in attending Florida International University will be very satisfied with the services and things they have to offer.

Too bureaucratic. It's a hassle to resolve any issue.

Conservative student body.

The sheer amount of pretense. Everything is done for convenience and most people, including faculty, are here for convenience. And yes, per a previous question, financial aid is stingy and unhelpful and does not have the student's interest in mind or heart, that is for sure!
