Francis Marion University

Don't believe anything they tell you. I came here two years ago with my girl friend and we were supposed to be graduating this Fall. They told us that all our credits will be transfered. Now, they are telling us we need 62 credits for her and 58 for me, which is about two years of school. Then, I spent four weeks waiting for my adviser to address this issue. When I saw her, she knew about my situation and sent me back to the Admissions Office with the hope that was just a mistake from the part of the new person. After that, she kept avoiding me. I called and left messages, e-mailed, and waited for hours. Nothing!! As soon as they get you to invest couple semesters, they treat you like shit.

FMU has a bad reputation in the community. Because of that, I have been applying for two years with no luck. Even when I was able to get couple interviews through some of my friends, it didn't work out. What they teach you at fmu is outdated so I couldn't even understand the things I was asked. I was embarrassed to be so ignorant. Now, after talking to couple of my friends who attended CCU, I realize it is all about where you get your education. If you get it at fmu, don't expect much. Take my word for it.

Alumnus Male -- Class 2000

It took me several months to get the real picture of fmu. When I visited the place last year, I thought the place was decent. Well, it is a real mess! It is nothing more than another High School with incompetent teachers and staff. They are there surfing the internet all day long or just watching traffic. Dr. Carter, the SuperPig himself does nothing. He should be fired. The guy is pathetic looking. There are rumors he is gay and was caught in action with a man in his office. My professors come to class unprepared. One of them keeps forgetting which class she was teaching. My adviser is a joke! If you really need College education, find another place. Do not get sucked into paying $40,000 in student loans for such a school like fmu. Their degree is worthless!
