Fiu is a piece of shit University that doesn't really care much for their students, the only thing this school is good for is to DROP OUT OF IT!  and the only “International” aspect of this place is the fact that the school whores out for anyone and anything from anywhere in the world with a pulse.I always felt lost, walking around campus there are so many languages being spoken, french, Italian, turkey, I swear I even heard some random person speaking in church tongues but no one EVER TALKS TO YOU unless you are obviously are douche who is too rich.

Damn!  I got a boyfriend here and it only lasted about 3 weeks with me doing all the work, and to think I entered this university thinking I was going to get a husband and marry by the end of my last semester HAHAHAHAHAHAHA what a joke all my expectations were!  I lost all my passion, the counselors don't even know what they are talking about, classes are boring and of course your money goes out the window faster than a Cuban running from Fidel Castro, and what is the deal with the school mascot being a golden panther?  I have never seen such an animal in Florida, I have run over many animals on the road but have never seen one of these golden cats under my wheelerz!

I'm not kidding you or trying to be a clown, just look at the reviews and the percentage of students who don't ever want to come back here, the percentage is high and the red negative reviews fly!

Campus food is another thing that bothers me, I almost always eat from subway and Bagel's Brothers because the crappy fast food everywhere is sickening.  You guys give the good stuff from the buffet to students who can afford that little card that the rest of us are not entitled to because we are too ripped off from all the high prices such as: books, tuition, that parking lot I will never use cause someone else drives me around,the gym I never exercise in and who knows what else?

Guess what?  After im done paying all these shit fees, I DESERVE TO EAT FOR FREE AT THE BUFFET.I'M A FREAKING STUDENT WHO OBEDIENTLY FOLLOWS ALL THE RULES, PAYING UP EVERYTHING, SUCKING UP MY TIME, I DESERVE THE DAMN FOOD!

It's funny how they keep the campus clean and beautiful but all the classes are so far away from each other, I have to walk a marathon and never almost in time.  Many classes are not even available when you register and your time prolongs to like 2 more years of what you are supposed to spend.

I'm almost 25 already and my wishes to open a school book again are nearly zero.  I spent the first 15 years of my life in a communist system which was even harder and I never failed anything, but here I keep failing for dumb reasons and im probably just ready to drop out for once and for all.

But I don't blame school or even myself, I blame the system that seeks to enslave, degrade and brainwash every good willed young person into believing all they are good for is earning cash, spending it in things they need and more importantly in things they don't need all for the sake of materialism and barely having anything to do with surviving or living simply.  The education system still follows the Prussian model from the industrial times that totally takes for granted multiple intelligences in a classroom and the fact we have advanced too much for anything industrial to be ruling.  Question everything you hear, human are not supposed to be sitting for such a long time, I want to be free, I want to create instead of being created or molded their way, but I'm probably the only female who hates money and is not going to run after it to risk everything like my sanity, health and my relationship with God.

Oh right I forgot FIU doesn't care about god either with all the liberal trash they spew out in their English/Humanities program.  Oh well, I think i'm out of here anyways.

responseGood riddance to bad rubbish. Remember that we are a secular school and all religions are welcome. If you don't like the "liberal trash" that is being talked about in the English/Humanities classes than leave for good to a religious school. We don't want nor need you here if you're going to be so hateful and a bigot. Just leave and I hope you find other bigots to share your experiences at this "terrible" school with.
 
commentYou entered the school at 25 to find a future husband? Noted.
 
responseYou sound like a mess to be honest. It's not the university's fault you're emotionally disturbed.
 
responseI was the person who wrote this comment and I do not take a word back. It isn't about religion but the whole institution and how it works, I still think is a piece of shit and I'm transferring, thanks for nothing, idiots
 
responseI agree with the person who posted this! FIU is a disgrace! They have underqualified staff and faculty! This school is only good for the "latinos"! They are draining Floridas education as they dont speak the english language! Profs are stupidly catering to these undeserving monkeys
 
responseTo the last poster, I absolutely agree with you as well. I get a feeling that the first person to comment on my review was a teacher himself. They act like you are supposed to act like nothing it's happening. If someone had a good experience with the school, they should be able to say that, if you didn't have a good experience you should be in your right to say it as well, but no it is a crime to state my opinion because it brings the school ratings down or something. I am Latina myself, I wanted to learn English and Literature only to find the absolute opposite. The books given to read for English majors are dreadful and vomit provoking, just dark stuff that would send an already struggling student to depression or counseling. And to the one who made the comment about being 25 and going to school to find a husband, that is not the reason why anyone enrolls at an University, however it is a possibility that if you are surrounded by men with similar backgrounds and majors something is bound to happen right? Apparently not at FIU where you hear students talking on the elevator about having orgies, cheating on their boyfriends and just stories that make the hair on the back of your neck stand at full capacity, yes I was that naive to think it would be any different in freaky Miami.Transfer if you can,it isn't worth the effort.
 
You feel bad because you didn't find a husband? You gotta be kidding. FIU is disorganized, but the ones to blame are the stupid administrative employees.I have a graduate-degree from an Latin American university, came here to looking for another degree, but the experience was just devastating; I ended up with a terrible depression I was abused and neglect by the chair person and the advisers. Now I am drained, without a cent to hire a lawyer to take this horrible university to court.
 
responseHere we go again with the husband stuff, NO I DID NOT BAD BECAUSE I DIDN'T FIND AT LEAST ONE ASSHOLE I COULD RELATE TO BUT IT'S INCLUDED IN MY EXPERIENCE OF FRUSTRATION, SCHOOL ISN'T ALL ABOUT BOOKS AND GRADES YOU KNOW? IT'S LIKE YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A DAMN ROBOT, MEMORIZE, READ AND REPEAT AND FORGET ABOUT SOCIALIZING OR OPENING YOUR DAMN MOUTH TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING IN AN ATTEMPT TO REACH OUT AND NOT FEEL SO DAMN LONELY! i had depression as well,do everything in your power to fight for your rights!
