Review of Francis Marion University

from North Charleston, SC

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

I have learn a lot of different things at FMU, from academics to personal life. I have learned how important and high level education is and I have learned that everyone is not your friend. Education is something that no one can take away from you. With a high-level education and what old people call STREET SMARTS, you will be able to survive life in this terrible economy. Also when it comes to personal life, just because people smile in your face and act like they are your friend(s), they can turn out to be back stabbers. The same way teens and older students treat you in college is the same way people could treat you at your full time job later on in life.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

There is always something to do at FMU, you should never be bored. Everyone that is on campus is found to be friendly, which means it is not hard to make friends. Also the Greek associations are always having events in the University Center that are free and extremely entertaining. Also if you love sports, the games are great!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My tips for prospective students are not to party too must, learn how to manage your money and time, and also do not procrastinate. If you attend too many parties, whether on campus or off, it will effect your sleeping and studying time. If you decide to go out to a probate or have a night out with friends, you must be sure your assignments due the upcoming day are complete. Professors do not accept excuses. As a college student, I find it difficult to manage my money due to the fact that I am on my own when it comes to my wants and needs. If you see something you need, then get it, yet on the other hand if it's an unneccesary want, SAVE YOUR MONEY. You get little money back in text-book refunds, it is best that you save your money. Last, I want to say do no procrastinate when it comes to assignments! If you procrastinate you will not do as well as if you managed your time and studied for your exam more or worked on a term paper. Professors don't play when it comes to grading.
