Class of 2002, civil engineering I had a great time there. Only complain was the boys-girls ratio at the time but I’ve heard it has gotten better! Miss it!
They offer good opportunities, but the campus isn't all that great, and the professors aren't all that friendly. They don't even offer what I want to major in. The only thing I'd say is good is location, if I wanted to stay close to home, but I don't. Melbourne is a boring area, I've lived here my whole life; and I don't really see anyone going out of their way to live here.
Went to an open house at the on campus radio station WFIT-FM. Met friendly volunteers and volunteers.
Crappy, overpriced university for a mediocre education. Also, the financial aid department needs to get their act together. They charged a friend $25K at THE END OF THE SEMESTER and DIDN'T NOTIFY THEM UNTIL EXAM WEEK THAT THEY OWED THE SCHOOL!! I highly recommend that no one goes there unless they want to pay obscene prices for a below average education
Excellent private university for STEM, albeit a tad expensive. However, if you have a passion for science, engineering and mathematics and you want to spend 4 years in warm beach weather, I highly recommend.
My pics are already up. Nothing can compare to a visit for yourself. I've been everywhere man. This place is awesome.
A racist, sexist, ableist, homophobic circle jerk. Exists to tug off mediocre rich boys and loose them upon STEM fields like a plague. Ethics and Formal Logic/Critical Thinking are viewed with disdain by both students and faculty, as is meritocracy. Gives an intelligent student a feeling of frustration, not unlike a K-12 public school. If you know anyone with intelligence, creativity and a sincere love of Science, steer them away from this cramped hellhole.
Totally disgusted with FIT!!!
Attending daughters graduation, they give you 4 tickets so you can't have all your family members present, then to add insult to injury. The auditorium is full and you have to watch the graduation from a screen. Give me a break. This is Florida! Why didnt you have it in outdoor stadium!!!!!!
I can't honestly rate my alma mater too good or bad. I definitely believe that college should be as good as the effort applied, and my experience was basically that. As I understand it, the best degrees here are typically marine bio, psych (masters), and aviation. I have heard some criticism of the liberal leanings of profsbut what's new there Dorms are hit or miss depending on how old they are. Ditto classrooms. Food tends to be a solid "good". The people tend to be pleasant enough. Almost all of my profs were pretty good in the comp-sci major. The school itself is pretty prestigious, so getting a job was a little easier than it might otherwise have been. But the cost criticism is totally justified. Study hard, and you'll probably do fine here or anywhere.
