I have a family member working at FMUQuite BrightUndecided
I have a family member working at FMU and calls it MFU (Mother Fucker U). He is new and he tells all sorts of stories about the administration and even some professors who have no qualifications to be teaching. When they found about this site, they freaked out and met for several weeks. The president ordered few poeple to monitor the site and write positive posts. This was about a year ago and most students knew about it but everyone was scared because the administration was retaliating against the outspoken students. They went as far as forcing professors to change students' grades and I was one of those students. When things started getting worse, I decided to transfer, then I discovered my grades were changed. Their excuse? There was a mistake! Since the professor is gone, I had no way of verifying that to change it back. So, to make the story short, I went from A to C-. This kind of practice frustrated me for several months and got sick as a result. Even now looking back, I am still very upset but I can't do anything about it . . . Avoid this place all cost.

Question
FMU is the BEST!!!!!!! i would never everBrightBiology
FMU is the BEST!!!!!!! i would never ever DREAM of going anywere else; professors are top notch, students are happy, and the community is like a close-knit, loving family. I was accepted to other choice skools but FMU came out on top because of their facilities which are one of the best in the nation! FMU is very selective, though, so be sure to work hard in high school and hope to get in to an experience of a lifetime!
