Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Marcus

I consider the best thing about my school is its faults. The lack of personal guidence forces the students to mature and handle these situations accordingly. It allows them to find a solution rather than ask. This attribute bleeds over into their professional preformance. Instead of asking questions previous FAMU students go and find the answer themselves.

Sajsha

The best thing about this school is that magnitude of African-American cultural awareness. Being around such a massive amount of educated African-American men and women gives me life. I enjoy learning about my history and recognizing that I come an ancestry of Kings and Queens. Through this new-found knowledge I am continuously learning about myself, and my my my, there is no greater feeling.

CHANDY

The best thing about my school is the loyalty everyone has to it. It is amazing to see bunches upon bunches of alumni come and proudly represent their school. Several students form lasting relationships with each other that last for years and years.

Christopher

There are quite a few things that I like about my school, and overall, I love it! FAMU is an average size school so I can get around real easy and find my classes, but the best thing about my school is the fact that the students are heard out, and the administration is so easily accessible for any issue! You can walk to any office through out the day and put forth any suggestion for improvement or any complaint, and the fact that it is taken seriously and acted upon is the best!

Marcus

There are numerous upsides to what separates Florida A&M University from other universities around the world. The wide-range of resources displayed on campus for our students is off the charts. Theres a writing center for students needing help with essays, a 7 million-dollar invested recreational center, a Black Archives History Museum, and not to mention Coleman Library, one of Tallahassee's top libraries. The school keeps the students involved in school spirit activities to keep the students having fun as well. There are plenty associations/fraternities students can get involved in.

Khadijah

The best thing about my school is the learning environment. If your school has a bad environment, it makes it hard for anyone to learn. When I say the learning environment I mean it's cleanliness, safety, peacefulness, and friendlyness. Coming into a HBCU, I expected it to be the opposite, simply because of where I was raised, and I'm not used to seeing such proper elements. It's learning environment is the best because it has given me something new to look foward to being around.

Dameca

The community is very nice and well kept up by the community. There is more then enough to do on and off campus. This city is a college town. The learning environment is really good.

The best thing about FAMU is that the professors are great. They make it possiable for a lot of students to achieve their goals. They really try to help the students out. It's a lot of work, but gaining the knowledge is whats making our World go round.

Tiona

The best thing that I consider about my school is the history of how the University started out with twelve students and now has a student population of over 10,000 students. I consider this the best thing about my school becase being that is started out with so very little students and now has such a large population shows that what started out as a little institution has prospered into a large prospering and efficient University.

Michael

Organization is the most frustrating thing at my school. Florida A&M University is amazing, and has so much culture, spirit and alumni support, but the way they handle events and student affairs can be very unorganized and frustrating. I think they should update some of the systems they use here, because at the moment they aren't working.

jervecia

The best thing about Florida A&M University (FAMU) is the networking you can achieve here. The campus is very friendly and is completely family oriented. Living in the dorms is one way to meet new people. Joining different organizations is another way to network and gain more people into your social circle. Here at FAMU you will never be alone, there is always someone like you and always a organization for you. FAMU is a good school and although all areas are not like the social aspect, making you feel at home is definitely not an issue.

Elisa

The best thing about FAMU is small class sizes and the easily accesible teachers. Last semester went alot smoother knowing that my teachers were very down to earth and easy to reach. After FAMU I can not really imagine my undergraduate experience with hundreds of other students in one classroom.

Eric

One of the best things about the school that I attend is that it is a highly recommended HBCU. Most people think of Spelman University, Tuskegee University, or Bethune Cookman University when they here the acromyn HBCU. Florida A&M has an outstanding renowned status throughout the United States. A wide group of people refer to us as the college with the band, The Marching 100. Being one of the greatest bands in the U.S., The Marching 100 assists Florida A&M in becoming a well known university Nation and even Worldwide.

Ashley

The best thing about my school is that it has a family atmosphere. Everyone is like family here.

JaLem

I think the best thing about my school is its level of religous communication and connection within the college community and so forth. No one here is ashamed of their faith, what so ever it might be, and they are okay with expressing it and sharing it amongst those who aren't experienced in the religious lifestyle.

Dayna

I love the school spirit this school has. That's what actually drew me to this school was how close-nit the school was and how proud everyone was to be at this school.

Its a place to really learn and see just how diverse the African Diaspora really is. As well as learning about other people of other races and ethnicities as well. Just a great place to spend a few years to get an education and Tallahassee is just an interesting place to learn.

The students, everyone here is friendly. Complete strangers speak to each other simply because its the polite the to do.

I would consider the diverse setting of the school and the environment surrounding the school the best thing.
