    From High School to College! F.I.U. My daughter is going there in the Fall. So, I went to check it out. The campus is gorgeous, beautiful, lots of trees, shrubs, and super clean. The campus is an open campus. The campus has many outdoor blue telephone. The campus is still doing construction.

    Professor Pires needs to be replaced. Nice school but horrible science teachers. Especially Stephen Pires, the worst Professor him and his TA Ronald Belance. Student's barely pass his class. the work is ridiculous and nobody hardly gets 10/10 most of his students have to repeat his class or fails. They do not care about you. It's like they want you to fail. O can screenshot my wassap chat of how students feel about this professor. Every semester he has students that fail, even if you ask for help he responds go watch the module video. The school needs to look into his failing rate of kids failing and repeating him every semester. Very had to get a A or B from him. The TA is more harsh of a grader than he is. Look at his spot reviews all horrible. He loves failing his students him and the TA

    Not to be confused with the Flor Rida International Tour, which probably generated a lot of money, even on rainy nights when people went out to see "Flo Rida's On The Storm." An excellent University, although when there are events on campus (or the fair, which was there when I was here), traffic turns into an utter, free-for-all, gridlock nightmare for hours on end. They should do something about that. The campus is extensive, leafy, suburban, and excellent, despite being in a lower rent area, and there are lots of cute college places to eat and boba shops around, although the boba standards are not high at all.

    Very proud to be a Golden Panther! Been coming here since I transferred from MDC and I love it! Great professors, modern school, and offers lots of different degrees. A very diverse university.

    My school's so pretty :)

    I consider it treason to give my alma matter anything less than a five star rating. I graduated from FIU in 2013, and not once did I EVER regret my decision to attend this school. FIU has a problem. And the problem lies within the students who come here with a borderline INSANE obsession with the University of Miami. First: if you love UM, wanted to go to UM, couldn't get in/afford it---please do us a favor at FIU, and DO NOT come here. Go ANYWHERE but here. Your hateration is bringing the school down. Thank you :) Now back to my review. + I came to FIU because FIU kept coming to me. Literally. Being from up north, I didn't really know anything about the school. But on college tours, campus matching quizzes, random google searches...FIU kept popping up. I took it as a sign and applied. FIU then outdid itself when they offered me the most scholarship money out of all of the schools I had applied to. University of Miami was never on my radar, though with my GPA, I could have gotten in easily. However, I was on the Golden Panther fast track, and went onto become an FIU student in 2009 :) +I can honestly say that when I entered FIU, I didn't totally expect to be challenged in the way that I was academically. This is a good thing. No, you won't get by with barely reading the book. You'll have to study, and take notes. Additionally, I was a member of the Honors College, and it was seriously a great choice. For those looking to expand their reach in the community, both intellectually and professionally, I recommend looking into it. +FIU is a gorgeous, gorgeous school. I know that this has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with the academics, but the university literally looks like a resort. It's unreal how beautiful it is. I loved walking around the BBC campus specifically to look at the water. So pretty! +I stayed on campus while I attended FIU, so I experienced "campus life" and all the hoopla you see in movies. Yes, dorms are clean. Yes, dorms are nice. No, you don't have to share a bathroom with the entire floor. There are always HELLA events going on campus, so there's never "nothing to do" --- and lord, there are SO many freebies! I came back to DC with endless goodies, and even last time I visited, I got some more free stuff, lol. + Development is a thing here, and it's for the better. There's currently SO MUCH money being pumped into making FIU amazing. I saw it starting up as I attended here, and every time I come back to visit, it's even more going on. I love it. FIU is a growing institution. I think it's totally unfair to compare FIU to other universities that have been around since the Jim Crow era! Seriously though. We are working our way up to greatness! The President is seriously committed to making FIU "World's Ahead", as it's constantly said. And let me just add this: for those who complain about the amount of Spanish spoken in a city that is MAJORITY Latino, please read a book. Don't complain about what you should have researched. It's Miami baby. I will forever l loooooveeee my alma matter, no matter where I reside. Proud Golden Panther for life baby!

Thank you to all the staff, especially the student services director Carmen Perez-Padron, for being available to answer all my questions! I highly recommend Keiser University Miami campus.

SAVE YOUR MONEY & GO TO A BETTER SCHOOL because I wish I did! I actually made it to the very end of the Radiology program until the director of the program Marilyn Galvez aka "MG" and the physics professor Arnaldo Viana aka "Profe" both came together to purposely fail me TWICE. And it's $4-5k per class. When you fail, you also have to pay a $150 fee to re-enter. (How convenient.) Additionally, Profe demonstrated clear favoritism towards certain students, providing them with answers to quizzes and exams while excluding me and another student from these advantages. This behavior not only breaches the ethical standards expected of an educational institution but has also contributed to my academic failure. 'Profe' has a history of 18+ years of purposely failing students just because he can. Sometimes he'll show the answers in class if his least favorite students aren't around with the classroom door locked or they'll meet up after school or get together on a zoom call. That's not even all of it either. He's expressed to me on a few occasions he's been getting away with failing students for almost 20 years and how "they won't be getting rid of him because who else are they going to hire to teach Physics 1-3" this was said by Profe himself. I think this was his way of warning me that he had no intentions of passing me. I should've known! I went to the graduation ceremony and all.. which is funny that they seated the 2 students who failed the last class in the back row (because this was planned) and the other 7 students they knew they were going to pass in the front row. Keiser posted our graduation photo at the pinning ceremony with me & another student who was failed on social media to promote our class got a "100% passing rate.." FALSE ADVERTISING. They didn't mention they failed 2 of us in the caption though! They also have their employees and other students on campus write a 5 star review for them on Google to help boost their ratings because they're just so bad. MG is another story. I'm also not the first student that has had this experience within this school and I certainly won't be the last. MG has also intentionally failed students, including myself, and retaliated against those who voice concerns. Just ask Group 58! Her treatment of students appears to depend on personal favoritism rather than academic performance or professionalism. When I raised concerns about these unfair practices, I experienced direct retaliation, making it impossible for me to succeed in the program. Oh and don't go to Homestead Hospital for your clinicals!! That's another story itself! Unfortunately, I have lost all interest in pursing Radiology or any job in healthcare. Now I'm stuck with $50k student loan debt and no degree/ certification or license to show for it. Luckily, I already have a bachelors degree from a high reputable university, where I experienced none of this. Mind you, I was always a very quiet and respectful student to everybody on campus. Maybe since I'm quiet and stayed to myself, they thought I'd be an easy target. It's very obvious this school is solely based to run students' pockets dry to fill up theirs. Especially lower income families. And they will not care while doing it. And the staff is all in on it! I wouldn't be surprised if the staff receives incentives for failing students hoping they'd come back and give them more money. Keiser University's administration needs to be investigated by the Department of Education once AGAIN. Appropriate action needs to occur to ensure that future students are not subjected to the same treatment. The school has had a horrible reputation for decades! They're just trying to be more sneakier about it nowadays. It's 2025 and they're still doing students dirty. Nothing has changed! There is SO much to my story this isn't even half of it. Sad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL.

Concerns aren't addressed, they're brushed aside. The entire system feels designed to profit off students instead of genuinely educating them. Bottom line: this school is not invested in your success it's invested in your wallet.

If not, then not so much. Many required courses throughout the 4 years emphasize social determinants of health and service projects in the local community. Cons: -A small chunk of the faculty were trained outside of the US and aren't as great at teaching as others. -Expensive! As an out of state student, the tuition is on par with the highest tuition private institutions such as Harvard Medical School.
