What is your overall opinion of this school?

Financial aid is slow and the people have attitudes but it is cheap. Stay on top of your studies and have a planner. Distractions are easy to find on campus.

The best thing about my school is the Marching 100 band. Our band is well together in uniform, and the sound is incredible. I love Homecoming also because the festivities are great. People from all over the world come to our homecoming week to attend the shows, football game, and especially hear the band. If I could change one thing about my school, I would seek to better the administration staff because sometimes they are a bit unorganized and biased when making decisions. My school is big but big enough that a lot is going on. People always are filled with joy when they hear that I attend FAMU mainly because of the band and our great programs. With the programs we have, I spend most of my time in our library doing homework assignments. On weekends, people like to go out and attend other engagements around town since local shopping places are local. One of the frequent student complaints is problems with the financial aid department being somewhat unorganized sometimes.

The best thing about FAMU is the close interaction between teachers and students. Largest class sizes are about 100 people, which is uncommon for universities, but in this case ensures that you are accounted for when it comes t understanding the material for your classes. I spend most of my time in J-school, also known as School of journalism and Graphic Communications. Journalism is my major and I love my school! Yes Tallahassee is a college town, If there were no FAMU or FSU it would be really boring. School pride is off the charts, We have tons of Rattler pride!! We strike, strike and strike again!! The only thing I would change is the curfew for dorms.

I absolutely LOVE FAMU!! I like that I can meet people who look like me and that I can relate to. I am a business major and the business school is awesome! They do a great job teaching and exposing students to the corporate world, so that we are well prepared. I like how the class room sizes are small. It gives the professor a chance to know me by name and can help me on a one-to-one basis if I need it. Homecoming is always exciting because you get a chance to network with a lot of alumni and its always good things that you can buy and eat. There is a lot of Rattler Pride!

FAMU Alumni are extremely prideful. FAMU is the biggest HBCU, and students who attend FAMU will get a memorable experience. FAMU has the most well-known band and biggest band in the land. It's band has performed for Barack Obama and Bill Clinton's Inaugeration. It has performed for the superbowl several of times. It has also performed at ESPYs and Grammys.
