Florida International University Top Questions

What kind of person should attend this school?

Isabella

FIU has grown to be a very diverse school. It is best fitted for a student looking for an institution flooded with mixed cultures and personalities. It welcomes students from around the world and I have personally enjoyed meeting such people. However, FIU's biggest downfall is the lack of effectiveness from the advising department. It is an issue that most students complain about. The person to attend this school and excel in it must be someone who can figure out most issues on their own or at least have the patience to do so.

Gabrielle

If you're able to keep school as your main focus, you'll have great success at FIU. There's something going on all the time, and to be able to understand that you can't do it all, you'll be just fine .

Sarah

Any person who wants the opportunity to really make something out of themselves, because with the right decisions, they will.

Have you ever felt like your level of skill wasn't enough to give you courage to do greater? Have you ever had an idea that you felt was not good enough? You're the kind of person who should attend Florida International University. Sometimes life can let you down in the simplest ways, or in ways that can destroy your strength and courage. FIU has and will always keep its doors open to those dedicated (or even struggling) to make the world, and themselves, a better place. This school provides the tools needed for people to do just that.

Sophia

The kind of person to attend this school is someone who is motivated, ready to learn, enthusiastic, and who is willing to learn. This school will not accept anyone who is not academically challenged. As long as you are willing to learn, the school members will help you to achieve your long term goals. If a student just show up to class and don't do the assignments, they won't pass the course materials. I believe that someone who has the courage to learn and to accept the things that they can't change will fit.

Florida International University has students who define the meaning of kind and sociable. A person who holds these characteristics, and who are is also open to diversity should attend Florida International University.

Jennifer

Anyone who likes to engage in school yet be able to step off campus and not have to think about college. I say this because the city of Miami is so alive and unique with it's own rich culture and diverse population that it does not rely on the university for character therefore it is not a college town. This makes it easy for college students to be able to escape the stress of classes and tight scedule by driving to the beach or going to a park.

Elizabeth

Any kind of person.

This school, I believe has a bigger emphasis on business, engineering, and science majors then on other majors, so I reccomend it more for students who are in those majors.

In regards to race, ethnicity, and religion; this school is very multi cultural, hence it is open to a all type of backgrounds.

Carlos

really anyone it is great and fun but for someone like me it can sometimes be distant because i live so close by if you really want to get into the school try living on campus and the honors colledge it makes it easier to integrate and appreciate where you are going and not just seem like a school.

Giselle

Someone who doesn't mind the lack of a big social scene on campus. It is primarily a commuter school and no matter how many times they try to rectify that, it is still a commuter school. It's dead on the weekends and very often during the week as people usually part-time it and go to work as well. The education is good so long as you're not in a program that was deemed "non-essential" and cut...

The only thing you need for FIU is an open mind!
