Ideal for international students

Tips: There are very limited options for transportation so prepare to have everything (groceries) delivered or buy a car. Getting things delivered is not as expensive, I currently use Walmart + which is $100 a year and you get free shipping, free grocery deliveries, and other perks

Likes (Value for money): This school is full of international students and they offer a variety of funding options such as scholarships, jobs, paid volunteering, etc. Besides, compared to other 4-year universities FIUs price tuition is relatively inexpensive. I would argue that you are even getting more for your money

Dislikes (Indian Food): They don’t have many Mexican options but they do have Latin American foods throughout the campus. They have many fast food places such as Starbucks, dunkin, chick fil A, Taco Bell, and many others throughout the campus. They also have their own food court which offers pasta, wok bowls, salad bar, desserts, etc.

Great college with lots of activities and events held.

Tips: I feel that studying at Florida International University has been transformative for me both personally and academically. This transformation has been consistent as well. Keep your eye on the campus calendar as there are a number of games, free concerts, and visiting lecturers who keep coming by. Finally, I would say that the atmosphere here is magical and there are clubs for each and every thing such as Astronomy, Animal Welfare, and more.

MS in Biology - Batch of 2022

Offered by Florida International University

Learning and growth has been constant.

Tips: So the courses and academics are quite difficult which I had naturally expected but some of the professors can be really demanding which makes it really hard to balance at times. You can also your student ID to get a number of discounts such as during grocery shopping, at tourist locations and most importantly while computing. There are many events as well held on campus so do participate in it. Overall, I am quite with my experience here.
