Francis Marion University

I advise you to stay away from this school. FMU has probably the worst reviews on the Internet for a good reason. You shouldn't trust anything the administration of this school tells you. They will tell you anything to get you to sign up but later you will find yourself in a huge dept, which happened to me and other students. Many post on this board have said that the administration of FMU posts positive reviews to oppose the negative ones. I believe that and I think it's shameful. Once again, stay away. This place is hell!!!

At first, I thought Francis Marion University was a good choice for me. But, gradually I started finding out about all sorts of problems that students suffer from. Here is a quick list:

1. Less than 10 % of the admitted students graduate from FMU within 5 years. Due to the overwhelming student disatisfaction, most of them transfer to other schools or drop out within the first year.

2. There is a lot of crime taking place at fmu. People come from outside campus to buy drugs and cause fear among students.

3. There is discrimination against black people everywhere. If you are black, you will be treated like a criminal everywhere.

4. The president's position was never advertized; thus he was hired illegally. Many professors left the university because of that. I am finding out ever day shocking secrets about this place; so I am getting concerned and I am transfering to another school. My advice, if you are looking for a school, I would suggest to avoid FMU. But, the choice is yours......... Good Luck.

I am outraged at what happened to me while I was a student at FMU. They couldn't find me an advisor while I was a marketing major so I had to get my schedule made by a woman in one of the offices in the school of business. Well turns out she gave me a biology 105 class with a biology 103 lab. Once I found out about this mistake, I informed her and she said she made no such mistake and I was given an F because of that.

They also have HORRIBLE chemistry teachers, especially that Anderson guy. He moved way too quickly and was in no way a good professor. Most of the students in my class were failing and complained about his teacher. Why isn't he fired yet?One last thing. I had a C in spanish 101 and when grades came in, there was a D there instead. Well that caused my gpa to be a little lower than I wanted to be, but the following semester, that C I had miraculously appeared in place of the D and I hadn't retaken the course. I will never recommend anyone go to FMU (Frauds Merging University)
