“I knew this university is bad and hasNot so brightMath
I knew this university is bad and has very little to offer but I didn’t care about the quality. I didn’t care about anything other than keep my GPA to 4.0. Then, after two years, I got tired and sick of this place. This area has absolutely nothing to offer. No internships, job experience, and no clubs/organization participations. Ok, how about volunteering? I turned in my application for Red Cross, to Habitat Humanity, and many other businesses and organizations but I haven't heard from them since and it's been 10 months so far. The companies around here prefer to bring their interns from other universities. This place is dead! Besides, lets say you graduate with 4.0 would take you anywhere? Now what? Check out how many graduate students get jobs? I discovered the harsh reality when I started applying for other schools. I wasn’t allowed to transfer any more than 9 credits. Do you know why? FMU has a reputation of a bad school and no support for their students.

“I advise that you be aware of thisQuite BrightNursing
I advise that you be aware of this school. This is my first semester after I left it in year 2000 because of too much politics and turmoil. They fired the president, but apparently they hired another president also known as SUPERPIG. I met him couple months ago and he seems friendly. But I heard he is very political and sleazy. People say he has a terrible temper as well and you never know when he would explode. Because, I have never had any business with him directly, I have no way of knowing about that. But I know I am ready to quit again and transfer to Darlington Tech.

“FMU is a High School with bad teachers.Super BrilliantPolitical Science
FMU is a High School with bad teachers. In the middle of nowhere, except for noisy janitors and depressed moms, there there is nothing going on a dead campus. Most students are dumb and don’t want to be there. It feels like a prison. I transferred out after my second semester, and can tell you, that’s the best thing that I have ever done. I have lost about a year, but I am proud and happy to be at USC, a university with reputation. Check it out and compare.
