As a kid from a small town in Wisconsin (Eau Claire), I never thought I would enjoy myself in a cosmopolitan city like Miami. Boy, was I wrong. Coming here to FIU here in Miami was THE BEST decision I have ever made. Not only are the classes here challenging enough to effectively prepare me for my career goals, but this college opened my eyes to new cultures and new experiences that I have never felt in the small town I grew up in. I have met very nice Cuban, Colombian, and Venezuelan kids, as well as some European and Asian kids; I never knew I would have so much in common with them! What is also good about FIU is the food. No, not the food in the dorms (which sucks by the way), but the food served at the restaurants around the campus. You have your choice: Cuban (my favorite), Mexican, Indian, even Nicaraguan food! Talk about diversity. FIU is more than just an ordinary college; it is an EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME. Diversity and education are FIU's greatest strengths, and FIU uses these strengths to educate its students to become well-rounded, goal-seeking individuals. I am so glad I made the trek down to Miami, Florida to attend school here. I can truly say I am proud to be an FIU GOLDEN PANTHER!!!
