For starters I am still in the enrollment process. I have a start date of may 4, 2009 when I was interested in enrolling they were all over the phone calling me...Then its like once they hooked me they rather not contact me at all as if they have fallen of the face of the earth. I have had 2 consecutive weeks of no contact with the staff even though I am suppost be trying to get marticulated. I have sent emails, and called and even have left messages......No response in any way. My enrollment cord. Said she would call me on a specific day and time and I waited around for a phone call I never recieved. I am agrivated with this school and after ready all of the reviews I am deciding to withdraw from this school. However I am assuming that as soon as I try to withdraw they will all of a sudden be there for me trying to keep me inrolled and they will do everything in their power to change my mind. Well they can go make a fool of someone else.. Go somewhere where people really want you to attend their school therefore they will be there for you at all times!!!

It is not worth the money.($40,000+) The food is terrible! 12 dollars for a buffet of undercooked frozen food. Social life= none. There used to be parties, but the fraternities are turning each other in to the school; so there are no more parties. The janitors are creepy and yell at the students. I was repeatedly yelled at for being in the shower when the janitor wanted to clean. I was in the shower first, and I had class.. what else did he have to do? The professors may be very smart, but they can not teach. The school has gotten many health violations in the dorm buildings (mold, asbestos,etc.). Overall most of the buildings are old, and are not well taken care of. The only good thing about this school is that the botanical gardens look nice. Bottom line... You are better off taking the 40 grand you would spend on this school,throwing it in front of the presidents office, and setting it on fire. Campus Aesthetics: A, Individual Value: F Have a Question?

Out of the eight semesters I've been here, I've never heard of anyone having this major, but FIT is only one of two schools in the nation to offer it. I couldn't be more pleased with FIT in this aspect. I can't even begin to express how much opportunity my major has given me. Being one of the few positive ratings on here, I'm going to be very candid about both the good and the bad apart from my major. THE GOOD - THE DORMS...honestly, some of the funnest moments of my life. Nearly everyone who attends FIT is from out of state, so it's so awesome that no one knows anyone when you first arrive. Apart from that, the social life in general in the dorms is just incredible...always somone to talk to/hang out with/drink with (if you're so inclined:)) Too bad it only lasted one year because it is more expensive than an apartment and I'm cheap:) - Small campus...really is awesome. Unless you're a complete hermit, you always bump into people you know going to/from class, and everyone knows everyone else (good or bad depending on your social status I guess). - College of Aero and Computer Science...my major puts me about 50/50 in each, both awesome departments full of great faculty. Beware however, I was Aero Engineering my first semester and it was a different world (pretty much the opposite). - Student Support...In general, the school does a great job of making assistance available to students, everything from academic support to career fairs to networking opportunities, to the library to the...on and on. The resources are there, but you must go to them. Organizations...there are plenty to get involved in, and FIT is so diverse that if there isn't one, you can create a club of your own and definately get some interest. Surrounding area...this is one that is bound to get some flames, but I really don't think Melbourne is too bad. On top of this, Miami is 2.5 hours south, Orlando is 1.5 hours north, Tampa is 3 Hours west, and Jacksonvlle is 3 hours north. Plus FIT is right on the coast, and in FLORIDA, perfect to get a motorcycle and enjoy the sun and palms. Sure East University is nasty (I even lived there) but all towns have ghettos. THE BAD - The women...I am not saying this because I'm a bitter guy that hasn't got laid, I'm seriously saying that the girls that go to this school have problems: they are arrogant, mostly ugly, and assume every guy wants them. On top of being bi:)ches, most of them are nerdy, fat and won't even look at you as you walk by. 6 gf's before FIT, 0 since I've been here, you do the math. - Campus life...it's really not that good. Frats are total BS unless you like hanging out with 20 dudes hitting on three women none of which will get laid anyway. Apart from this, my biggest beef is the lack of alchohol at any event, but this is more or less understandable, but it still puts a damper on wanting to go. - Whiners...the irony right? seriously, school spirit is really just lost in the endless complaining by alot of the students, almost always related to cost. If you knew how much it was before hand and didn't like it, why are you here? why havn't you left? - NERDS...I know it's a tech school and this is straight up whining:) but finding people who actually want to go out can be a challenge, and this just blows my mind being 5 minutes from the beach - No football team...self explanatory, not really the schools fault, just unfortunate.

This school has been the ultimate waste of the last three years of my life. I've had some good experiences but the bad far outweighs the good. I'm an aeronautics major with flight. The flight line is great, I don't really have complaints there. I got a quality education from my flight instructors and have even established good friendships with some of them. The campus is another story, although I've had some good classes, in my aeronautics department the majority of the faculty are old retirees. They have oodles of experience and they don't make you forget it. Their experience is great....too bad they have no teaching skills and can't get the message across! Some of these teachers should have given up years ago. A handful of them are great people and I'll value the things I've learned from them but there are far more bad seeds in the department. The school needs to stop trying to appear so great on the exterior and weed out the bad before the credibility of the school is compromised. Social Life = Crap. That's all I have to say. College should be a fun great time of your life. It should extend beyond school work. This school, from my experience, provides only the educational aspect of that experience and they even do a bad job at that. Now on to the price. This school is WAAAYYY too overpriced. I don't see the money I spend applied anywhere. What am I paying for? I could get a WAY better education from a state school and pay a quarter of this. Bottom Line...If you aren't an engineer, look somewhere else. I beg you. I don't want anyone looking back on their time here like me and regretting their college life. College should be the best time of your life and these last few years surely haven't been for me. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Useful Schoolwork: F Have a Question?
