Be nice, speak up, and be persistent!

Devina from Marietta, GA
Many people argue the importance of going to big named schools in order to get the best education. I've noticed that no matter what school he or she enrolls in, it is always going to be up to the student do their part in making the most out of their education opportunity. Likewise, no matter where they go, the raw material that each professor teaches should be the same. Therefore Florida A & M University is just as good as any school when it comes to gaining a quality education.
Lester from Gainesville, FL
When you first arrive make sure your Financial Aid is in order.
Make sure you have a way to pay for school.
Never stop applying for scholarships.
Surround yourself with positivity, although this is a great institute, their is still negativity surrounding it.
Get involved in school, if you sit around, you will hate it.
Jeremy from Chicago, IL
Do not be discourged by the negative talk from people who have never even steped foot on our campus. There are negatives, that can not be hidden! But the positives and the experience is second to none! Come visit yourself to get YOUR OWN oppinion.
