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.

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

What the school was known for, such as its Business School or School of hospitality. Having known that Iwould have been more likely to study one of those areas.

I wish I would have known how overwhelming being in such a large school could be; it would have made the adjustment a bit easier.
