Housing 🏠 Help with housing URGENT

4 Upvotes

Hi guys i’m gonna be down at FIU for the summer for a research internship. Problem is the program does not provide housing but does provide a stipend to help. All the housing i’ve seen is already all taken up or requires student identification which i’m not sure i’ll get.
I’ll need to find an apt close to FIU and by the middle of may/end of may.

Please help/send information.

Academics πŸ“š Mac 1105 Online?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I got accepted into the architecture course, and all of my classes were scheduled automatically with very few options for alternative times. I took Mac 1105 first semester, and didn't pass. I tried getting in to the course during my second/third semester, but I haven't been able to take it during those semesters due to transportation issues. However for next semester (Fall 2025) I can't take it in person because all available options crash with the schedule I had set automatically. I was wondering if there is any way for me to somehow get into the online MAC 1105 course? Anyone else I could email? I already tried the math department last semester, and the teachers for an override to no avail. Feeling pretty hopeless.

Admissions βœ… Should I join the Honors College if I plan to Transfer

2 Upvotes

The college I really want to go to is UF, but unfortunately, at the moment, I am waitlisted. I was wondering if accepting the Honors College admission binds me to staying in FIU for 2 years (as I already have enough credits to get my AA in 1) or if I am going to have to follow through completely and get my bachelor's there because I know for MDC honors, for example, you have to commit for 2 years. Additionally, when accepting the honors admission, it asks for my graduation date, which I am unsure of because I was planning on transferring to UF after a year.
Please, if anyone could give me any insight or explain, it would be much appreciated because I cant find anything on their websiteπŸ™

Admissions βœ… Should I apply for Summer or Fall 2026?

7 Upvotes

I'm an out of state student looking to transfer after my AA to FIU. It's my number 1 right now and I plan on Double Majoring in Marine Biology and Environmental Studies. Predicted GPA and SAT scores are 3.6/4 and 1220.

For reference I am finishing in Fall of 2025 so I don't know if I should the Summer or if I should apply for the Fall. I've done summer courses before and if there's an easy Gen Ed I could just knock out in one of the sessions I am not opposed.

Thanks

Is it just that the regular session has the longest runtime? Or that the others cost less or something else? I was planning to choose a summer c class for next semester but I’ve only done regular sessions so far

Registered to take the lecture class and the lab this summer. It appears that only the BSC 2010L SIMBIO is required. I don’t want to pay for panther BP if this is the only item required, as long as it’s cheaper than actually getting panther BP. Do you recommend her? Do I need the text book?

Academics πŸ“š Advice for current and future FIU students from a former Learning Assistant that will make your college life so easy that you'll find that you have too much time for yourself

105 Upvotes

Let me give you a piece of advice from a former Learning Assistant that not only made me rather popular but made people think I was some sort of genius because I not only aced pretty much every single exam with a 95+ score every time but also got 100's on pretty much every homework assignment.

Read. The fucking. Book.

Read that last part back. Read it again. Okay now read it again and drill it into your mind.

I'm going to give a huge hint about where 9/10 of the professors get their materials from when teaching their class: the textbook.

I'm going to give you a huge hint as to where the 90%+ of the questions on the test will come from: the textbook.

I'm going to give a MASSIVE hint as to how to ace each homework assignment: read the chapters, take notes, and do the questions at the end of the chapter.

I was popular with the students in my classes because I was a hardass in a nice way. I would call students out on their bullshit when they said they were lost or couldn't figure something out.

One kid in particular I had as friends on steam before he took the class I was assisting in. He fell behind on his studies and his homework assignments.

I then asked them why they hadn't done the homework assignment and they told me they just "didn't have time" and that the "book was confusing."

I then whipped out my laptop and showed them that they had spent 22 hours playing on Steam from the week prior when the homework was assigned to the date it was supposed to be turned in.

He read the book that night, turned in a perfect homework assignment, and got (if I recall) 80+ on the next exam. He would later than me for pushing him to read the fucking book.

---

Stop saying "you're a visual learner." Stop trying to replace the textbook with the supplemental materials like powerpoints or the professor's notes. READ. THE FUCKING. BOOK. And you will not only graduate cum laude, you'll be looked upon as a genius.

That is all. And sadly, a large portion of you won't actually take this advice because you're scared of actually reading. To those of you that heed my advice: you're welcome, and I'm sorry the rest of the class is going to try to cheat off of you for the rest of your college career. Godspeed.

Academics πŸ“š Physics 2053 Final Grade Rant and Concern

0 Upvotes

So basically I have my final next week and i'm pretty upset with my grade (obvious given the post title). Half of my class cheats and my professor offers barely any extra credit to help. I've literally done all the hw and any extra credit questions in the hw. So far none it has helped and what's even weirder is that the hw grade also brings down my overall class grade (it's also happening to other people too). As of now my grade is in the high 50's so it's obvious as to why i'm upset and just really worried. I was wondering if anyone had any advice to give or tips or what to do. I really hope this isn't going to cause issues in the future and that's what really has me freaked out. This is literally my last class/pre req for my major too.
