This school is a joke.BrightCommunications
This school is a joke. I am not surprised they engage in spamming this site and spend millions on advertising. They are obviously desperate concerned about losing the school. When I talked to my professor few weeks ago, he told me about some of the very serious implications. Apparently, faculty are concerned as well and they know if the school closes, they end up with no jobs. The administration on the other hand is trying to keep calm and they hired outside consultants to help them get out of the crisis. Unfortunately, the president doesn't seem to listen and he keeps making irrational decisions and firing whoever disagrees with him, which is making the situation worse. So, I believe Dr. Carter is the source of the problem at fmu. If he leaves, the situation will get better. Just a thought!!

Question
This university is a mess!! I planned toQuite BrightFinance
This university is a mess!! I planned to graduate this semester and I thought I had it all under control. Then, someone decided to keep me in for another 3 semesters, almost two years. The rationale behind such a decision is obvious: they want to keep students as long as possible because too many students are leaving and I will follow their path shortly.

Question
You better believe it! Yes, FMU is spammingQuite BrightPolitical Science
You better believe it! Yes, FMU is spamming this site with positive posts to hide the negative ones. I sat down with three of my friends and went back for about a year or so and found nothing but negative posts. Then, some 12 or 13 positive posts showed up. The language, the writing style, and the content of each post are all pointing to the involvement of the administration. These posts happened within two or three days. So, I am transferring before the ship sinks. I know if I wait any longer, I may not even be accepted in any schools. Take my advice stay away from this school.
