I am new to the school. It takes some getting use to but I am slowly starting to feel in. The wait time is sometimes long but when I do get the assistance, it is usually helpful. Hopefully I will be able to grow within the community and see this as a home again.

Many assistanships offered, courses are not rigorous. They are mostly based on discussions and opinions of classmates. This is my first semester and I like it so far. My three professors seem to really care about each student, they know me by name and I can wave at them when I walk around campus. FIU is huge and can be overwhelming or amazingly diverse. Full of students and their energy all the time. There is another campus that is calm for those who don't like a lot of people. FIU has the best of... Read More

The faculty is one of the best assets at FIU. The environment and culture of Miami also provides a diversity that is not found anywhere else in the US.

The pros of the I/O program are the small class sizes and direct learning experience I can gain through such intimate settings. The cons of the graduate program is the cost of attending that is only rising every year and the work load that will keep me from working a job to pay for class!

FIU's grad school allowed me to complete a masters degree while working full time. The professors are excellent. Students who are unable to be on campus every day are disconnected from the smaller groups pursuing graduate degrees. More funding options should be available for students paying out of pocket.

Pros of the graduate program are that there are great opportunities to form and join study groups among the other graduate students because most students are enrolled in the same classes. Cons of the graduate program are that some teachers are do not make themselves that avaliable to students via emails and office hours.

I feel a pro to my graduate program is the amount of real-life and classroom experience that the professors have. The program is also very diverse, with a plethora of study abroad opportunities. A con is that the career development website isn't as strong as it could be, and it's often hard to find a job if you don't have specific industry experience, even though the school is located in the hotspot of Miami. I think that attending the school should hold a lot more clout with potential employers.... Read More

Pros: it is a commuter school. You are bound to meet people from all walks of life, from working professionals trying to get their 2nd masters degree, to the research oriented 23 year old, to the newly arrived immigrant who is much smarter than you. Cons: It is a commuter school. FIU is everyone safe choice and almost everyone can get in after some effort. Therefore school spirit and pride is not a high as it could be.
