Florida International University Top Questions

I think the most sound advice I can offer anyone really, is to go to oreintation with your children. There you will learn so many things: what the school looks like; it's atmosphere; the diversity of: culture, religion, and people; anything you really want to know. Of course, researching the school's overall rating of it;s academic standards and the job availability for graduates is as must. You cannot expect to go to a university that will not guarantee a job after your education has ceased. Florida International University is an evermore increasing school, both in it's academic performance and it's social enviorment. I assure anyone that the amount networking done here is enough to last an entire lifetime. All in all, attending orientation is necessary to get a taste of what the unversity is really like. You can read all you want on a piece of paper, on a brochure, but experiencing the atmosphere is something words can't really describe.

Go on a college visiting tour. It helps to choose the right environment for your personality. Also look at the environment around school, big cities provide a lot of activities outside of the university campus.

depends on what they like. go to a college town if you want to be school spirited, if not, go to a commuter school. like FIU!

A good college experience is not just a "Label" degree, make sure your school is going to leave you with a great education, but also make sure your school is going to offer you a lot of fun. School Spirit, Activities and On-Campus life are very important in having a feeling of belonging and pride for your school, after all you only go to college once, make sure it is all you want it to be. I was not able to go away to a different college because of my finances, however I wish I would have gone somewhere else, because FIU doesn't not have the campus-life I wanted, and I have never felt the sense of pride or belonging for my school. But I?m still trying to make the best out of it! PS: Through this application I realized I should be more involved with on campus clubs and activities, maybe we built our own college experience?Keep in touch I?ll let you know who it turns out.

Personally if you want the best college experience,hould live on campus, however it seems that most people who live on campus get drawn into too many other things rather then the actual learning process. Those who live at home not only save money, but can get involved as much as those who live on campus, without the negative influences. Also in selecting a college, it really doesn't matter how good the football team is, or how well known they are, unless you are attending for those reasons. In the end the degree is the same and that will be all that matters in getting started in your career. Finally, be open to new ideas and meeting new people.
