Francis Marion University

I graduated from FMU and worked for FMU for over 15 years. I can tell you this place was quite good before Dr. Carter became the president. This guy is corrupt and surrounds himself with corrupt people. The good people have left, retired, or they are waiting for retirement. If you are honest and you speak up, you get demoted or fired. Now, the results of corruption are showing on every day basis. But, we are asked to put a positive show for our students when everyone knows the ship is sinking. I hate to say this, but this is the truth. If you are considering this school, I would suggest to think again. But, the decision is yours :-)

This is a very bad college. I admit I didn't do as i should in high school but I paid for it by getting into FMU. Now, I am quitting in my third year because they make it hard for you. They admit and keep everyone they can but less than 5% graduate. Most of the admitted students transfer within the first year. If you stay, the administration knows you couldn't make it in any other schools so they make difficult for you to leave. Take my advice: If you have a chance, avoid this place at all cost. They made me hate education. My 0.02 cents:-)

FMU has a very bad reputation in the region for a very good reason. I think it is the worst school there is in the entire country. They give you too much busy work but no relevant skills to help you compete in the job market. The adminstration is made up of a bunch of liars who will tell you anything you want to hear but no action. There is no support for students' education or finding jobs. You are very much alone. If you don't believe me, try it and you will see. Goood luck!!!!
