Before FMU, I had seen few universities inNot so brightEducation
Before FMU, I had seen few universities in the US as well as around the World. FMU seems to me quite unique. Frankly, I don't know how this school can be a university. When I discussed that with professors in the classroom, they couldn't argue against that. They all know it. Finaly, where do you plan to go after FMU. What skills do you learn at FMU. I am graduating with a second BA within six months, but I am not eager to place that on my resume. I wouldn't hire anyone who graduates from FMU.

Question
I have been at FMU for 3 yearsEducation
I have been at FMU for 3 years and so far I have maintained 4.0. It has been very frustrating for me, because they hate you before even you get in. They work hard to get you in, but then once you have invested time and money, they treat you like dirt. They have no respect for their students. Some professors are good, but the majority of the employees have no interest in helping you in any way. The other day, I went to ask for a stapler, the secretary gave me a look that kept me awake for several days. What's wrong with asking for a stapler? You don't expect such attitudes in a school. As a mother of three children, I would never send my children to a place like this one.

Question
This school is a joke.BrightNursing
This school is a joke. I was making A's in high school, now I berely make C. I am failing two classes, because professors wouldn't accept medical notes from my doctor and wouldn't allow me make up tests. If you are Black, rules are harder.
