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.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
the biggest tip would be making sure that you get all of your financial aid done early because you don't want to have to wait and stress about it like i did and have to pay more money out of pocket rather than the money that you got for financial aid.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
i do feel challenged in my classes so far which is stressing but also a great thing because it pushes me to study,study,study!
Describe the dorm life at your college.
depending on which dorm hall you live in you can have a lot of fun. lakeview is a great dorm hall that provides a lot of space in your room and plenty of activities to get involved in. also there are lounges on every floor that you can study in. i'd recommend you try to get a dorm in lakeview rather than panther hall, it isn't all that great over there.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
there are a lot of options on campus! especially if you have a lot of panther bucks they all work there. the cafeteria is ok. it all depends on the day and what kind of food you like to eat. there's a shop on campus called breezeway and it has the best food ever. especially cookies, everyone goes insane for their cookies since they are one of the most popular things on campus.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
for fun there are plenty of things to do. you can join groups, greek life, a sports team, anything you want! or you can take a walk around the beautiful campus. you might also want to just hop on the bus and go visit downtown miami or head to south beach. there's plenty to do in miami!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
there is a tradition that if you spin the big cube on campus three times, you will get an a on your exam! also there is a bridge called the kissing bridge and if you share your first kiss on campus there then you will be with that person forever!
