It was a great school but I had quite a few problems with it. In regards to the campus, technology available and aesthetic it was perfect. Also lots of people my age to relate to etc etc. But when it came to anything mental health related or club involved there was a large struggle. It never felt smooth or seamless to ask for help or to feel like staff had my back. Also there were a ton of teachers who shouldn't be teaching. At least in the engineering department. I.E boring try not to fall asleep... Read More classes due to teacher being unmotivated and dull.

I think FIU being a public school comes with it drawbacks. With funding and being heavily influenced by the current Florida administration being the main ones. I think overall you get what you pay for and not to say it’s a bad thing. I think I could have had a higher quality space elsewhere but I would say the education itself is still very good. The administration running the Landscape Architecture and Environmental Urban Design program are very dedicated and are very influential in their field.... Read More Through them I was able to meet many individuals that I still see around in the profession today. I think the state government having a say on what to educate people on is wrong. I think they pull more funding from the school which overall just hurts the students attending and how they can eventually give back to this country.

When I was at FIU there wasn't as many majors in the exercise science field. They didn't have kinesiology as a major nor some of the biological science majors that I was interested in. I am unsure of how it is now as I am aware that the school has expanded. I think my experience was that of a standard university. I am glad the prices weren't as high as other colleges I have heard of. There were classes that I liked and didn't like. I never really had any interest in extracurricular groups or activities,... Read More so I can't judge the school on that. There were courses at nearly all times of the day, so it was never difficult to create a workable schedule. I didn't have a problem with any of the teachers and did like a few of them.

Florida International University was an important part of my academic and personal growth. As a psychology student at FIU, I had the opportunity to develop strong critical thinking, research, and analytical skills while learning about human behavior and mental health. The psychology program challenged me to think deeply about real-world issues and understand how psychological principles apply to everyday life.

One of the things I appreciated most about FIU was the diversity of the student body. Being... Read More surrounded by people from many different cultural and academic backgrounds created an environment where multiple perspectives were encouraged and respected. This diversity helped broaden my understanding of the world and made classroom discussions more engaging and meaningful.

FIU also provided many opportunities for students to get involved both academically and socially. There were numerous clubs, campus events, and academic resources that supported students throughout their time at the university. I found that professors were generally supportive and knowledgeable, and many of them encouraged students to ask questions, think critically, and explore their interests within the field.

Another benefit of attending FIU was its location in Miami, which offers a unique blend of cultural, professional, and networking opportunities. Being in such a dynamic city gave students access to internships, community organizations, and experiences outside the classroom that can help prepare them for future careers.

Overall, my experience at Florida International University helped me grow academically and personally. It provided a strong educational foundation while also encouraging independence, curiosity, and engagement with the community. My time at FIU played an important role in shaping my academic interests and preparing me for the next steps in my professional journey.

I would say that Florida International University is a good school overall. The college I attended was the College of Engineering and Computing. Some of the professors are nice and some are mean but the grading is overall, very fair compared to other universities for the most part. Some of the professors do support favoritism therefore it is not all a fair grade just because you do all the work required and attended their class. However, compared to over universities, the engineering department does... Read More tend to grade pretty leniently by supplementing with a lot of busy work and projects.

FIU has been a place where I'm still learning, growing, and striving to be the best version of myself. As a Black; Afro-Caribbean American student that struggles with ADHD/ADD and Asperger's, my journey hasn't been always easy as I would like it to be, there are days when I go through ups and downs, moments where I feel like giving up, times when the weight of everything that goes on beyond my studies feels heavy. Yet, what keeps me enduring is my faith in Christ, the encouragement and reassurance... Read More from staff who remind me constantly that I'm just as capable as everyone who attends here, and I'm always humble and gracious of my fellow peers who stand with me as I do with them. The diversity on campus makes me feel at home especially as a native Floridian, and every challenge here pushes me to persevere with humility and dedication. I'm still on the path, imperfect but determined, and FIU continues to be the place where I can be strong, more skilled, and ready to finish what I have started and what I strive to accomplish with my educational values.

I entered the program in January 2017, being sold to me as a great Master in Finance and number 5 within the USA. The information provided to me was false. Employers were knowledgeable of the program. I was one of the few locals, and everyone else was mainly International using the program to extend their residency in the USA, and this was mainly promoted when they bought the program. The program was outdated. In 2017, Florida suffered from Hurricane Irma. Half of the program was cut in half, but... Read More we were still charged the whole program. Only three teachers cared about the program. Save your money. Do not join the program.

Admin is money hungry and will find any way to charge you and hold charges against you no matter what. The enrollment center can't even follow their own rules for their student petition, because circumstances that are out of students' control aren't enough for them to accommodate simple requests, even when it states they are covered. Making me pay $5000 for classes I can't even take? Very disappointed in how they handled and decided on the situation. Steer clear of FIU. Already pulled out all future... Read More funds and transferred to my local college who deserve my money.

FIU is a mix of great professors and horrible professors, but unfortunately my experience here has been mostly with the latter. Professors here tend to be condescending, elitist, unhelpful, and not at all concerned with student's needs. The administrative faculty (advisors, etc) are similar, with most showing up to work simply to collect a paycheck with no percieved interest or care for students. I transferred to FIU with 29 credit hours from a top-rated private university, and was only credited... Read More with 15. Due to this and COVID-19, I am expected to be a fifth year senior despite taking 15+ credit hours a semester, and passing all classes. Do not attend this school.

I have gone through so many different scenarios in which FIU has been the least helpful they could possibly be. The entire staff either doesn't know anything or doesn't put any effort into helping you figure it out. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGURE EVERYTHING OUT ON YOUR OWN. When I say ABSOLUTELY no guidance, I cant stress that enough. From signing up to classes to speaking with academic advisors, the application process, study abroad, just about anything you can think of, the administration makes it a POINT... Read More to not be helpful. This is the WORST college I have attended. I was previously in MDC which is an AMAZING school. FIU's goal is to hold you back and make things difficult. Everyone and I literally mean everyone will read your email and straight up ignore you. The academic advisors are visibly annoyed when you have questions. All in all, I haven't had even a second of a good experience here so much so that I searched for anywhere I could post a review to WARN other students to go to any university that isn't this one.

The whole program is trash. Taught myself the entire time. Professors are power point readers who do bare minimum. Everyone the cohort brought up concerns, we were punished in some way. Administration is so disconnected from what really goes on. Clinical placement and schedules are a joke. Disastrous process and it has nothing to do with covid the leaders were just not doing their jobs. Horrible horrible experience only good thing was Fiu I’d cheaper than other schools and like the saying goes, you... Read More get what you pay for.
