I have heard the administration of FMU goes to this site and posts positive reviews to oppose the negative ones. The last review here is obviously one of those posts. How in the hell one would come up with the idea that FMU is the Harvard of the South? If it is that great, how come it has probably the worst reviews on this board? why does it have such a bad reputation in the region—from racism to poorly educated faculty, to crime, etc? Why over 80% of freshmen either drop out or transfer within their year? Why do professors send their children to USC, Clemson, MUSC, CC, even CCU? How come FMU graduates can hardly ever get a job that doesn't even require a HS diploma? I don't even need to say anything about the location of the university, the drug dealers and pimps on campus, the dirty and unsafe halls, doors smelling shit, blood in bathroom walls, janitors harassing girls, the president's involvement with black students and was caught with in action with a janitor. This is just to name a few that I have seen or heard on the campus. This school is a mess and should be investigated for corruption or may be closed. My advice, don't believe anything the administration of this school tells you. They will tell you anything to get you in but later you will find yourself stuck. This is exactly what happened to hundreds of students including myself.
