Message: [QUOTE="Chin Diesel, post: 4743721, member: 34"] A few years ago my daughter and I visited FIU. She was interested in nursing or some sort of marine biology major so we looked at several schools which offered both majors. FIU was one of them. Interesting place. Massive student population, many of which were commuters due to imbalance of students and on campus housing. Plenty of apartment complexes across the street or easy walking distance from the campus. The school really drives home its hub of the America's position and strives for Carribean and South America exposure. Really emphasized their International Business and International Law programs. Two campuses. Main campus is in Doral area of Miami, somewhat near Miami Airport. They were building two high rise dorms while we visited and several other buildings were under construction or renovation. They have a large satellite campus in Key Biscayne on the Intercoastal Waterway. That was a ridiculously gorgeous place to live and study. I was very relieved when my daughter instantly hated the whole Miami metro area due to all the traffic amd commotion. I can see how a school like FIU would score high on metrics for social mobility, low debt ratio and pay for graduates. They emphasize how many of their students are first generation and how much of the population comes from less affluent backgrounds and regions of the world. All that being said, FIU is a fine institution but no where near as good as those rankings suggest. [/QUOTE]
