Hands down the BEST HBCU! FAMU is excellence! Very caring and supportive staff and rigorous instruction! I definitely recommend! This will be the best decision of your life!

People always want to brag about this school because it's African American strong blah blah blah. But they are the most unorganized school I've ever attended for this to be a University, which is typical for black people right ? I've only attended for not even a month & I don't like the school. I attended Valencia College in Orlando and they are efficient and professional in so many more ways than this school is. I regret coming here and hope these two years fly by.

I've never been so disappointed in an institution of higher learning like this school ever in my life! Four deans were removed in 2 days right after graduation and administration, faculty and staff simply do not have the students and their families in mind when it pertains to students' education and the HBCU experience. Alumni is the reason for this school's success, however, the people handling this school now are making everything Alumni has worked hard for appear as a joke! I had high hopes of feeling like a FAMUly when I got accepted into this school. However, the way I have been treated at this school and the way administration, faculty, and staff decided to handle my situation and my education, have left me disappointed, hopeless, and completely shocked. Not just that, but this school have left me close to homeless and without a degree and being an intelligent student from out-of-state (when I entered this school) and now a permanent resident of Leon County (before being forced by FAMU to move to Tampa, FL), this school and how they operate business have been nothing but confusion and hardship for my family and me. The ONLY positive thing I can say about this school is the fact I developed some good friendships with other students I've met here.

Academically- 10/10 excellent teachers and well rounded staff with diverse backgrounds
Student Life-2/10, not much variety to do on campus, 90% of student are from south Florida, might as well be University of Miami Tallahassee Campus at this point. Not much extra-curricular activities either. Huge turn off from an out-of-state students perspective because there is such a lack of diversity among the backgrounds of the students. On top of that, FAMU is always in the media for something stupid like REPEATED fraudulent funding or rape or hazing.
No Tradition-Unlike Howard or Tuskegee, there is a definite lack of prestige and class on and off campus. You can definitely tell when people ask what school you attend, you will get the an oh that's nice versus a wow that amazing. On campus, more students are too focused on making it daily fashion show than actually learning.
The absolute worse thing about this institution is that staff that runs the Administrative Offices. They are utterly and completely rude all the time and too ALL the students. The ones that are nice usually can't help you and your transferred to some incompetent local. It will drive you insane and waste so much of your time your better off transferring to FSU like I did or go to Tuskegee.
I do not recommend going here on the premise of the latter. It is a living nightmare dealing with FA or the Registrar. If you care about your career you will go to an institution that values its students. The college you attend does matter, if anyone tells you otherwise they are are lying to you. I hope FAMU can one day realize how vile its staff is to its students and actually do something to change it.response / report this review -

My relatives are alumni in 1 way or another. I was a alumni of FAMU DRS . I have love for the University, The best hbcu in the area. Fact is a great school need a leader. FAMU need a leader that can lead with out being buddy buddy pal with the trustee's department.This leader need to be competent to the board of governors as well. Plus FAMU leader need to know FAMU as a past student or faculty that had solid standings before there departure. This type of leader will elevate FAMU to the elite level like no HBCU have ever seen!!

I am a student here at FAMU and though I love the student life and campus atmosphere this university will never progress and be an elite school. The administration is absolutely atrocious and many of the staff members are inexcusably rude and inconsiderate. I've tried my hardest at this university as a student I have a 3.6 GPA however this university makes you jump through so many unnecessary hurdles. I mind you I am also an athlete here at the university and get to represent it at the highest level. I am extremely disappointed and dissatisfied with this university because it could truly do so much better. I cannot wait to leave this university to rid myself of this atmosphere and the stress that has come with it.
