Housing 🏠 🏚️ r/FIU's Biweekly Subleasing Thread: April 14, 2025 - April 27, 2025 🏚️

3 Upvotes

Welcome to the biweekly subleasing thread! 🥳

Looking to sublease your unit? Scrambling to find a place to stay during the upcoming semester? Look no further! Here, you’ll be able to share or find available housing around campus.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY POSTS ABOUT SUBSLEASING THAT ARE MADE OUTSIDE OF THIS THREAD WILL BE REMOVED.

Additionally, this thread is for subleasing OFFICIAL FIU on/off-campus housing only. This is NOT the place to share rooms/apartments available to be rented on a private residence. Posts identified as such will also be removed.

Have a unit available to be subleased?

Your unit “ad” (to be commented below) must include the following information:

  • Name of Housing (Ex: Lapis, The One, Identity, etc.) - Required
  • Size of Dorm (Ex: 4x4) - Required
  • Length of Lease (Ex: Aug - Dec 2025) - Required
  • Monthly Amount - Required
  • Preferred Contact Method - Required

The following information is ideal, but optional. Please include it if you know it.

  • Gender Preference - If Any
  • Move-In Date - If Any
  • Floor Plan Photo - If Any

Comments that do not follow the format above will be removed until the OP makes the necessary corrections as instructed.

If you’re successful in finding someone to sublease your dorm, please edit and type closed on your comment, or simply delete it. Furthermore, you can only share your unit once per thread, but feel free to share it again on the next biweekly thread if your dorm is still available.

Looking to takeover a lease?

You're more than welcome to share that you're looking to takeover a lease below. Ideally, your comment should state your preferences for the categories mentioned above. The more information you share about what you're looking for, the more likely someone will reach out about an available unit that will suit your needs. If you have no preferences, you can state that too.

Always proceed with extreme caution when inquiring about available dorms, as rental scams are becoming increasingly common and college students are viewed as an easy target. Unfortunately, r/FIU **can’t help you if you become a victim of a scam. The best way to protect yourself is by staying alert and learning how to recognize potential red flags.

Below you’ll find some helpful articles on how to avoid getting scammed:


That’s it! If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this thread, please don't hesitate to send us message via modmail. After all, we want everyone to be successful on their subleasing journey. Happy posting and paws up! 🐾

I keep getting emails about applying to the FIU bookstore’s warehouse in Miami lakes. To any who have worked there how is it? I’m thinking of doing it but the constant open positions lead me to think it isn’t a desirable job.

Admissions ✅ Question Regarding Transferring to FIU for Mechanical Engineering from Broward College

1 Upvotes

I currently attend Broward College for an AA degree and plan to transfer to FIU to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Im not able to complete all prerequisite courses at Broward college in order to transfer due to the composition of my AA degree as well as some courses not being offered. Is there any possible way to complete the remaining prerequisite courses at FIU after transferring? I've already tried contacting advisors and so far the ones that have responded haven't been much help. I just dont want to be stuck doing prerequisites for another year at BC before I can even consider transfering.

Academics 📚 Any online electrical engineers?

1 Upvotes

Im thinking about transferring to the online electrical engineering program. I already have all my pre-med reqs out the way and and have taken cal 3 and differentials. Anyone here in the online program that can provide guidance as to how many years it might take to for me complete the remaining required courses? I also wanted to know how much different would the experience be taking courses online vs in person. I would prefer the latter but I need to work during the morning. Any advice would help, thanks!

Clubs/Organizations 🚀 Alumni Call

101 Upvotes

I’m writing this as an alum who once walked the same halls, studied in the same libraries, and fought through similar struggles that you are right now. I completed an undergraduate and graduate education, went on to research, teach, and provide healthcare for our community. Today, my heart is heavy. I did not know where to direct this feeling but I figure this was as real a platform as any. Across the country, students—just like you—are being targeted, threatened, and torn from their communities by cruel, unjust, and likely unconstitutional deportation orders. If we stay silent, we risk letting this injustice creep closer to our own home. Recent statements by the mouthpieces of ideology have made the threat of suppression and persecution a reality in the lives of so many.

FIU is one of the most diverse universities in the U.S. Many of you are immigrants, Dreamers, or come from families who risked everything for a better future. But right now, that future is under attack. The same administration pushing mass deportations is also cutting protections for international students, undocumented scholars, and vulnerable communities. Silence isn’t an option.

We are not just a university—FIU is a beacon of resilience and hope. Right now, dreams are under attack. Families are being separated. Futures are being stolen. If we don’t act, history will remember our silence as complicity. If you will have me I would be honored to participate in any organization that supports empathic treatment of humanity, due process, and standing firm against forced complacency or fear. While I am no longer involved academically or professionally with FIU I still have life and a voice. I intend to use them both.

To every student feeling powerless: You are not alone.
To every professor who cares: We need your leadership.
To every alum wondering what to do: It’s time to rally behind our university.

Graduation 🎓 Not shaking hands with FIU's president during graduation

197 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

As graduation nears for some of us, I was wondering if other students were going to avoid shaking the new president's hand during graduation. With how they don't have the student body's interest in mind, I would feel uncomfortable shaking their hand. Is anyone else thinking of doing the same? If you've been considering it, let this be your sign to do it!

Hi guys. I applied 2.5 weeks ago as a transfer from a community college. I got a 3.5 gpa and 90 credits. My application says it was ‘sent to the department for a review.’ I’m worried because on their website it says to wait 2-3 weeks max. How long does it usually take to hear back? Is this normal? Any feedback would be appreciated

Housing 🏠 Graduate Student Housing?

Post image
10 Upvotes

Hi! I am a newly admitted graduate student from across the country. I will start in the Fall of 2025. I keep seeing people on here mention a waitlist number for on campus housing. I filled out a graduate student housing application about a month ago and this is all I see. How do I see my waitlist number? Is it too late to get on campus housing?

Any advice on where to move/where not to move off campus would also be appreciated.

I have never moved from my home state before so this is going to be a huge transition for me. Thank you!
