I attended this school for almost two years and it was hell for me. Everything was going upside down. They abuse you big time. By the end, I became very disappointed in education and life in general. My mom's friend suggested that I go to Darlington Tech. instead. Although they wouldn't take all my credits at fmu because they were considered useless, I finished AA in one year, got a job, and a promotion within two years. This year, I am making over $45,000. My classmates at fmu are unemployed. That says it all for me. If you want life, go to Darlington Tech. FMU is a path to failure.

I don't care about what it used to be! FMU is the worst college there is now. Students are struggling all the time to get the basic. Why is that? There is no reason for that other than the administrators' incompetence. That's why I am transfering and I am happy to leave this "university" and this "city" of Florence. My two cents!

The opportunities for after college success are available to everybody. Perhaps people who didn't participate in those courses, workshops, or activities should have made better use of their academic time. It isn't the Universities responsibility to make sure you are doing what you need to do to ensure your success after college. They provide you with the knowledge base you need to succeed in your field of choice. What you do with that knowledge is up to you. Take it from me. A former FMU graduate class of 04'. Everything you need to be successful is located on the FMU campus. Perhaps some of the technology you needed wasnt there, but that doesn't mean you dont have access to it else where. I did a molecular genetics study as a senior. FMU didnt have all the materials I needed, but that didnt stop them from getting me what I didnt have and making arrangements with local facilities to access their materials. You just have to take an effort in your education and talk to those people who can help you (ie., your advisor or chair of your dept.)FMU is a smaller university and the funding of those u niversities is much smaller than that of "larger" universities. It's a sad, cold, hard fact.

I am going to graduate in December but, instead of being happy, I am getting upset by the day. Our professors are telling us there are no jobs for our major in the Pee Dee region. But, why are they teaching arts? Is it just for a piece of paper they will be giving me in December? If that's why, then it doesn't make sense. How would I pay for my student loan of $26,000? When I discussed this matter with my friend's uncle in New York, he told me why there are no jobs for FMU's graduates:

1. Students at other schools are trained by professionals who have real world experience

2. Students at other schools receive superior education on state of the art technology.

3. Colleges are supposed to have career services to help students to write their resumes, update their knowledge of the job market, find internships and jobs, etc.

FMU doesn't provide anything like that and that's why fmu students lag behind and that's the harsh truth!!
