Florida International University Top Questions

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.

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.

My overall opinion about this school is it has a lot of excellent social and academic opportunities; it provides an great environment for student success!

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!

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.

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.

The assistance when needed is always available. I have an excellent experience with my advisers. I do not have an issue with any part of FIU. It is just right in size, I consider it to be a large campus, yet not too big. People admire FIU, and do consider it to be a reputable facility. I spend most of the time on my campus in the library, and in the gym. It is a very peaceful environment. FIU is a college town. Very optimistic, endless activities going on at all times, driven by the students. The administration is excellent There is a lot of school pride. Being in FIU on the day of a game is very exciting

We are International for a reason. If you want to become a global citizen, incorporating the global learning and perspective FIU helps you build, then this university is the place for you. FIU is a big campus; I remember getting lost there during my first stay. It's the right size especially for freshmen, since their main buildings are bult closely. The residence halls aren't apart and are close to each other, so one doesn't have any difficulty in getting to other halls. In fact, we have PantherTrams or small vehicules that take students around campus. FIU is an enormous school in terms of population having more than 40,000 students. Because of that, the adminstration can get slow at times. But imagine the exposure one gains by being amongst a multitude of diversities. We don't have school pride. We have PantherPride! I remember my first orientation day. I had just come from a different country with three huge bags right into the university. Being early for dorm check-in, I had no place to keep my bags. The FIU Orientation Office kindly let me use their storage space till the time my check-in date came. I believe FIU's parking makes one more attentive and alert because there's a shortage of it.

Florida International University (F.I.U.) is a cultural diversified school that provides many opportunities to minorities, foreign students, and those alike with a bright and achievable future ahead of them. F.I.U. is like a very own civilization, a home to many that has an abundance of buildings, school and food related stores, and a beautiful scenery filled with abstract art. There are areas I enjoy adventuring to, such as the Green Library, when I need alone time to study or read, or the Graham Center, when I want to meet up with friends or when I want to make fun of the horrible and really loud music vibrating against every wall; it's inescapable. F.I.U. has a diversity of places to attend to to fit your mood.

FIU is a unique institution, a family oriented one. Because we have a few campuses, the student population is not too large. In one phrase, "FIU is AWESOME!!!"

FIU is not too big and i think it is a great school. I spend most of my time either in the cafeteria with a friend or studying in the library. The resources on campus are great. There are many events going on at both campuses. It is easy to get involved, and there is never a boring week at school! I love that there is always an event with free food or music or FIU stuff! Both campuses are good for different reasons but overall a great university.

The campus is big, you have to walk a lot if you are taking classes from different college. FIU is known as international school that is located near south beach, so a lot of people go out there and party. IT is near a good location, where they're lots of plazas, restaurants and convenient stores. GC building the place where most people spend as it is where the cafeteria is and the lounge area is and the bookstore is there and so is a starbucks, which is upstairs. Across from it is the library. There really isn't much school pride. One complaint i hear constantly is about the business advisors, that it is hard to get an appointment with them and when you do, it is for 5 minutes. It is a great campus, where you can lay on grass and study with the beautiful weather.

It's terribly overcrowded, and the people who work there generally are selfish; that's why I rephrase FIU as the university that is good at F****** It Up. There's a lot of things done under the table that students should realize; I'm transferring ASAP.

FIU began as a commuter school. The main campus is in the heart of Miami, 30 minutes from the beach and 20 minutes from downtown. In the last 10 years they have grown immensely and now offer more options for living on campus. There Biscayne Bay Campus is a smaller quite, natural setting by the ocean while the Modesto Maidique Campus is a large urban campus that includes a football stadium and many other typical college life amenities.
