dgreco Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I had a chance to look at FIU, FAU, NSU and UM and I would put FIU third on the list, but still a good school. For the size I think it could have a few more things, but not a horrible choice overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish4Life Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 The one thing i dislike about FIU are the lies and the fact that they dont give a sh*t about you... but I assume thats every school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenta Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I went to & graduated from FIU with both my Bachelor's & Master's degrees. I liked it because it was a smaller school and I didn't get lost in the shuffle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one south florida school (NSU) is over 29,000 and yet class sized are about 25-30 kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I ever heard about FIU and FAU is that there is a high minority population, but I mean I have seen people at NSU and going to UM I can say that is everywhere in south florida. If it is really a problem for someone --- look at a midwest or northeast school Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it has the 27th highest enrollment in the country at 37,000. I think that's a good chunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
