Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Aerospace Engineering  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright If you're going into engineering, proficiency in science and math is a must have. For the rest of your classes, it's all about just working your way through the unnecessary and relatively tough english classes and hoping you get a good enough grade. For those who have said that there is no night life in the surrounding city - they obviously don't get out of their rooms that much. Many clubs and places to hang out, you just need to know who to ask. You're certainly going to need an extra-curricular activity or place to hang out, because it will serve as a vital tool to relieve your stress. Florida's a great place but Florida Tech is a hard school if you're in engineering. As long as you find the right balance between studying and having fun, you'll be ok. One of the best ways to finding this balance is by getting involved in a Greek Organization, as the Greek scene has become increasingly popular at Florida Tech in an effort to encourage each new student to advance their personal values and provide a home away from home.

But if ur the party type, this is the wrong place to come to. even the frat parties only take place here one in 2 - 3 weeks. and there 80/20 ratio of guys to girls. keep that in mind. by now most of us are sex-starved...

The surrounding city is boring if you're not big on the beach or just hanging out. Though the campus is located in the most ghetto place in the county, compared to other places, it really isn't that bad. As far as the faculty goes, people are nice and the supporting faculty (in the financial aid office, security, etc.) are helpful. I have had several professors who have been rude, condescending, unfair, or even downright incompetent. I have also had professors who have been very fair, polite, competent, and helpful when help is needed. The school provides free tutoring but the people in the academic support center have always been extremely rude when I have been there. Most other students are rude, arrogant, and immature; I have often times felt like I am back in middle school or high school because of the other people on campus. Clubs I have tried to join have been cliquey and people have been rude. Because the school is so small, you can walk around later in the afternoon or any time on a weekend and not see another student. Though much of the campus looks nice, the academic quad, the dorm rooms, and the education department building are rundown, mildewy, and are in major need of renovation - most of the other buildings are in good condition. Overall, the majority of my classes have gone well because of small class sizes and several dedicated professors, though some have been hellish because of poor professors. My department is wonderful though my two years here have been lonely and filled with many annoyances. The school is not the worst school ever, in fact, I would consider it an average school seeing as the problems faced here are present at most colleges. I will say that this school is not worth the cost whatsoever and that you are really just paying for the schools reputation. Education Quality: A+, Social Life: F Have a Question?

Whereever you go on campus, whether it's the registrar's office, the secretaries, or the support center - everybody is extremely friendly and acoomodating. At the airport, most are very friendly, and although safety is a primary goal, I believe there are a few things that could be improved. One example would be that inoperative equipment not legally required on aircraft is not being fixed, even if it adds to safety. The workload of classes is managable, but it's a constant balancing act. The social life at this school is poor at best. Most people - especially girls - are friendly but unapproachable, though this might be due to them being the minority. Overall this is a good school, and for Aeronautics with Flight especially.
