Waist of time and money. You get your degree from this university and you will have problems with finding jobs. University is not doing enough, actually nothing, to help its graduate students to find jobs. In fact some of the advisors are discouraging their students from continuing doing research, even if they accomplished a lot. It's like they want to eliminate competition. Post graduate mentoring is a fiction in most cases. There are some great faculty members and some that just want to produce as many graduate students as possible, which helps them get their tenures. It's like a factory; students don't matter much, what matters is numbers; how many grad students they produced. Some graduate students are briliant and some should never ever be admitted even close to PhD or in some cases, masters program. University prestige should be measured based on hoe many students upon graduation can find jobs. Unfortuntelly, FIU would not be in the first 50. The campus is too Cubanized. I am not a racist but this name, International University, should mean something. If it is latin/cuban oriented university only, than it should be renamed to Florida Cuban University. No one except for cubans cares about this third world country. All communist countries freed themselves, but cuba. Rediculous! There should be some rule about diversity at this university. All the comments that I see here are not too far from truth. Even though I met some amazing people here, the local people are just lazy and think abut how to get the degree the easiest possible way without overworking themselves. I would not recommend FIU. I love the campus appearance but this cubanization, especially in administration should stop NOW.
