FIU: The Big Picture
FIU is a big university. It is not really in a college town but it is possible to get somewhat of the traditional college experience but FIU is and always will be unique. There isn't a lot of school pride but that is changing. For now, it's kind of dead on the weekends.
FIU Academic Life
Professors are, for the most part, willing to spend time with you outside of class. The professors here do treat their students, even freshmen, like adults.
FIU's Student Body
Most FIU students are from the Miami area with some from other parts of Florida and even fewer from other parts of the country and world. But even with most people being from Miami it seems as if everyone at FIU has a different ethnic background. The student body is very diverse.
FIU Student Activities + Social Life
While there are many different clubs on campus only a minority of students get involved. Mostly it is the people in fraternities and sororities that get involved. But even then Greeks only make up about 1-2 percent of students at FIU.
FIU Naked Truth
If you come to live on campus you will need a car or know someone who has a car.
