Florida International University

FIU is, first and foremost, a University. It's not a college. It can be tough on its students, and it has a 'no-nonsense' attitude when it comes to exams. You'll find few to no teachers there who are willing to baby their students. As such, it would be advisable to get your game face on and be ready for a rigorous study schedule, as it's the only thing that will keep you afloat besides tutoring sessions.

College is truly the place to learn not memorize. At FIU, the opportunities for learning and academic fulfillment are endless. Tips: get to know your professor, ask questions, and most importantly study hard!

The teachers are great here. Most of them will help you and have office hours. Unfortunately, the office hours are not very flexible with your schedule. I have only had a bad experience with the math teacheres here, but all my other professors have been a delight.

I am currently in the FIU Honors Program and it has been a great experience. The teachers are excellent and the classes are rich in knowledge, if you really want to take advantage of them though you absolutely need to put in your effort. A lot of the classes are integrated with online tools so you'll be spending some time learning online. A convenient feature of these classes is that they even have an app for Smart Phones so you can study on the go.

because the school in based in south florida, there is a great deal of diversity, not only in relation to the students but also the teachers. the main campus, also knows as the modesto maidique campus (mmc), has the largest and greatest class selection in comparison to the other campuses--many of the classes and extracurricular activities are very interesting and bountiful, allowing there to be something for everyone who attends the school. the beautiful tropical campus is also easy to navigate, with it taking a relatively short amount of time to get from one side of the campus to the other, meaning getting to class on time will not be a problem.

fiu is a great school for anyone who is looking for a diverse group of students and a great education. teachers will always have office hours open to help you whenever you need it and they truly encourage you to come ask them for help. fiu also makes it easy for you to work your schedule around your hours.

The amount you learn here, or for that matter at any college/university, is directly related to how much work you put in. If you study hard and put in an honest effort, you'll be rewarded for it. Most of the teachers care about your education and grades, and you just have to do your part and you'll do just fine.

As a biology major school is a big stress. Luckily, my professors are always there to help. Whether you need help understanding or catching up, they're there. Believe it or not professors are normal human beings who understand the subject is hard, who understand its just one of those days, or who know it may just not be clicking. Take advantage of the time they're willing to give and the help the school offers, such as tutors. Even the little things may help the most. And if you love the field you're in, you wont even feel it. In the end, we're all college students, we must study. Classes maybe hard and the rules you may not like but at the end of the day you think about your future, and its all worth it.

an amazing school to attend. coming from new york, florida international university felt like home with the warm people and the warm climate. i would recommend anyone to come here.

College is not only about excelling in your classes in order to be rewarded with a degree but, it is also about life. At FIU you learn key concepts about working with your peers, time management and how to act in a professional manner. The university offers tons of different classes from artistic ones to complex sciences. I'm anxious to attend my orientation and choose. :)
