The most popular groups at FIU are the sorority's and fraternity's. However, that is not all. There are many other clubs that are active and showing their school spirit. One club that is always active is SPC, or Student Programming Council. They plan activities on campus and many are free to students. For instance, every Friday they play a movie on campus with two showtimes, 5pm and 8pm.

The school is rich in student diversity. You are able to learn and appreciate different cultures and enjoy an atmosphere full different nationalities. No one would feel out of place in this class. Student wear casual clothes since were in South Florida. Also depending on the weather of the day. Students interact daily with different types of people, but on campus were all the same, were Panthers. The four tables in the dining hall are usually the frats advertising their fraternity and welcoming those interested. Most of the students are from different countries.

I have noticed that the majority of professors at FIU are highly knowledgeable on the course material they lecture on, although some of them have difficulty with explaining the material cohesively. In general, professors hold office hours to further student participation outside of class and in my experience as an Economics major, some professors were readily available during office hours and others were not. The Economics department is separate from the School of Business and is not treated as a degree from it. Students are mixed between the ones who are active participants in class and attend every lecture to the ones who do not attend nor participate. Some students study at least 2 days a week, while others are more likely to only study the week before major examinations. It is common to see a few students who compete for the few A's that are earned and many who end up with B's are also highly competitive. About half of the students continue the academic discussions outside of class and I have encountered professors that are willing to spend extra time in helping me achieve success in class. FIU's academic requirements are attainable for the average student, although the standards are higher in the School of Business and the School of Education. Many degree programs are geared toward getting a job, but not all of them are. Although I greatly enjoyed some of the elective courses I took, the skills I learned from those classes only indirectly, if at all, translate to positive future job prospects.

I am aware of the other Schools in Dade-County, Broward County, and the Palm Beaches. This school tailored all of the opportunities I was seeking.

Obviously they are.There are lazy people, studious people, party people, social people, loner people, funny people, and boring people.

Florida International University (F.I.U.) is a cultural diversified school that provides many opportunities to minorities, foreign students, and those alike with a bright and achievable future ahead of them. F.I.U. is like a very own civilization, a home to many that has an abundance of buildings, school and food related stores, and a beautiful scenery filled with abstract art. There are areas I enjoy adventuring to, such as the Green Library, when I need alone time to study or read, or the Graham Center, when I want to meet up with friends or when I want to make fun of the horrible and really loud music vibrating against every wall; it's inescapable. F.I.U. has a diversity of places to attend to to fit your mood.

There are many student run religious and cultural organizations.

I feel as though fraternities or sororities are not that popular at FIU. I do not live on campus so i dont know about the living arrangements. But the activities at school are usuall from SPC or SGA and they are quite fun and entertaining. Football games are pretty important. The stadium is huge and it is always packed and you can definately see the school spirit. I met all of my friends through classes on campus honestly. My best friend i met in Biology II lab and we became friends because we have similar interests and career goals.

Professors usually don't go out of their way to know your name, they are just their to lecture, teach you about subject and of course they will answer your questions. My least favorite class was college algebra, i hate math. My favorite class was strategic marketing with professor andrew yap, he is awesome and you learn so much. Students usually procrastinate and wait until the last minute, however study groups do meet and get together to study. Class participation is common, especially in marketing classes. Some students talk about the class and the quizzes outside of class and what they expected from the exam too. Professors all have study hours, but with most you have to make appointment b/c they may not even be in their room. The schools academic requirements are good, but it should be more challenging so one can learn more and it should be more hands on b/c thats how most people learn. Theres several career fairs, but no one really goes, FIU is geared more toward just getting degree.

There are many opportunities for students to get involved and these include clubs, organizations, fraternities, and intramural athletic leagues. Commuter student participation could be improved but the possibilities are numerous.

yes

See above

Pretty decent.

I would change the commuter attitude that people have about the school. If people knew and got into what FIU has to offer they would value their college more and be proud to show their school spirit.

I find that the environment in FIU is positive and welcoming. The library and other resources available to students are quiet helpful. Most people I talk to enjoy coming to FIU and do have pride in their school (i sure do). The budget cuts are affecting the school somewhat, as not as many classes are being offered and maybe not everything one would like, but even though the school has to count with significantly less money, I don't think the students have felt too much of a negative impact. One of the only problems I have with FIU is that everwhere you ask you get a different answer (this issue is especially true with regards to the Financial Aid Office)

Everyone gets along. You have people from everywere.

I love the diveristy on campus. I am an international business/international relations major and this is one of the main aspects of my school that I love. It is a constant reminder that we are living in a time of globalization where more than ever our constant communication and interaction will be with people around the world of different cultures and values.

I am involved in the Women's Studies Student Association. Essentially we organize and try to raise awareness toward women's issues and provide networking for its members. Our biggest event is the Vagina Monologues in February of every year which we host to raise money to end violence against women.

Nothing at all! Fiu is great!
