This place has become like a prison! IComputer Science
This place has become like a prison! I am going back home very depressed and will have a very sad Christmas. To access this site, I had to install Torpark on my computer and who knows what they will do if they find out about my post. Well I not afraid! The degree from FMU is not worth much anyway and I am transferring to Coastal Carolina U as soon as I get sometime.

Question
This site is becoming popular in some circlesBrightLanguage - French/Spanish/etc.
This site is becoming popular in some circles at FMU, so instead of looking into their weaknesses and improve the condition of the university, FMU officials are censuring the site. Why? Isn't that illegal? I thought we are here to learn to be good citizens and the university has the obligation to show us how. I will be graduating next year and I am concerned about the value of my degree. I hope someone steps in to save this place.

Question
I joined FMU this Fall and my expectationsSuper BrilliantBiology
I joined FMU this Fall and my expectations were completely from my first 5 weeks experience. Contrary to what you hear from the admissions officers, classes have over 40 students and they are full of students who don't belong to college. They are mostly noisy, disrespectful, and have no interest in learning. Evidently, this school accepts everyone who walks by. As long as you have the money or you are willing to take loans, they want you in . . . I met a student who told me once you go through FMU, you have a slim chance to get accepted anywhere else. I also heard rumors that because of the many problems and bad reputation, the givernor may end up closing it. Good luck in your transfer! As for me, I don't have anything to transfer, I have been accepted at Coastal Carolina University and I am starting there in January.
