The Ultimate Guide To FIU: Everything I Wish I Knew Before!

Fall is in the air and you know what that means...back to school season! Today I wanted to highlight everything that my university, Florida International University, has to offer on campus because this is exactly the type of video I needed back when I started as a freshman and was looking at which school to attend. I am very involved on campus including being the VP of Marketing for my business fraternity, Alpha Kappa Psi, VP of Programming for the Student Programming Council, and a peer mentor so stay tuned for even more FIU content including weekly vlogs and other college-related videos. Comment down below if you have any other questions or video suggestions. I hope this video was able to help you out and always remember: paws up panthers!

[@tarasperberg3224]

[@kayla2171]

I’m in my undergrad for nutrition do it!!!!! I love it so much

[@clownster456]

Glad to hear it 😁

[@nicolebulit5651]

i’m a senior in high school and i just got accepted to FIU and i’m so nervous

[@tarasperberg3224]

FIU was the first college I got into and it’s honestly been a great experience! I encourage you to get involved in something and you’ll make friends quick, good luck! 💕

[@danielaarrue8704]

omg me too!! see u there 🤍

[@bouboudia81]

Help me please for my applying

[@themanwithnoname3883]

How's it going?

[@jenniferpai1732]

Thank you! This is helpful! I am a senior that was accepted in international business, too! Will you like to talk more about your experience in this major? I am an international student by the way :)

[@tarasperberg3224]

Of course! I can certainly make a video about my double major and talk about advice

[@anishsharma7798]

I too am an International Business Major who committed to FIU

[@isaaccole8954]

Hello, how I can contact you? I'm an international student too and I Nerf your help, I feel like Im losing it.

[@jadachai54]

Anyone else starting classes in Spring 2021? 💕

[@tarasperberg3224]

I hope you have an awesome semester, you’ll do great and make sure to get involved to better your experience! 🤩

[@ideologicallychallenged]

[@mokshpatel927]

Applied at FIU for Spring 2022, wanted to know about off campus housing, is there anyone who can suggest some good options?

[@tarasperberg3224]

Congratulations! 109 Towers, Identity, 4th Street Commons, and The One are the most popular options!!

[@vivianacruz5368]

i’m going to b a commuter as well!! it’s what most terrifies me tbh. anything you believe is most important to know as a commuter student?

[@tarasperberg3224]

Omg I just saw your comment! Biggest commuter advice is getting involved in clubs/student orgs. It’s the best way to make friends with people you have common interests with. Try to limit yourself from just going to class and then going home, there’s so much more to college even as a commuter!

[@ignaciafortes5571]

I’m going to ELI for fall I hope is not online hahahah

[@SuperBigshot99]

Transferring next Sunmer or Fall

[@andrealou8151]

I got accepted and I’m starting in June but everyone says that I’m gonna be in debt. Is it true?

[@tarasperberg3224]

Finances are really dependent on each person’s situation. College is definitely not cheap, but FIU is more affordable than other Florida state colleges. Apply for scholarships and grants!

[@bouboudia81]

Hello my dear Tara help me for making my applying please

[@afloxks8687]

Praying my 3.2 gpa gets me in 😞

[@tarasperberg3224]

I feel you! I had low SAT/ACT scores (not a good tester at all) and managed to get into FIU so I have high hopes for you! Go panthers 💙💛

[@marcosantana87]

I just got accepted for spring 2022 and i had a 2.93 gpa with a 1190 sat. They told me that i needed between a 3.3 and 3.4 for automatic acceptance, but maybe they might accept you straight up depending on your sat.

[@Zvwry]

I have a 3.8 gpa but got a 990 on the SAT and got deferred 🥲

[@tarasperberg3224]

@@Zvwry I applied for the Summer B semester to better my chances! I hope you get in later, Goodluck!!

[@poppiand-one3039]

i wish other ppl could find this
