Review of Florida International University

from miami, FL

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

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.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

As a sophomore at FIU i am proud to say I am a very involved panther. I am currently part of one of the top sororities at FIU, I am part of the FIU alumni association, part of an honor society, and i play sports. After all, i've realized you get from FIU what you give to it. There’s also the fact that FIU in located in Miami. This city never sleeps. There’s always something to do, something or someone to see, someone to talk to or simply share memories with. There are music festivals, football games, parades, and educational activities for college students. Never a dull moment.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

FIU is very inexpensive compared to most other schools but if there is still a problem, the financial aide office is always there to help. They offer many grants and student loans to those who apply for them.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Study and get involved, theres no way you wont enjoy your college experience.Yet always remember, you are first a student studying at FIU; everything else comes afterwards.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

The type of student who wants to be something. The type of student who wants to get somewhere. The type who wants to study but have fun while doing it and enjoy the college experience.
