    First. This place has its ups & downs. But one thing’s for sure, they provide quality education as good as Ivy leagues. 80% of Professors are great at teaching. Some will even be the reason youre passionate about you’re major. Downside to this place is the QS ranking(doesn’t exist on there). But they make up to that by being well known in the community & having connections with big engineering companies. I graduated may2020 with an Bsc in ME. & am now getting my masters at UCI in MAE. Let me tell you I study with students from berkely & UCSD & I am just as knowledgeable as they are or even better at times. One of the downsides is the extremely expensive university housing which you’re forced as an international student to stay in for 1 year. Wish FIT imvested a bit more on better parking lol. Best 4 years of my life. Even though Melbourne is extremely boring. Orlando & miami are 1 & 2:30 hours away. Don’t ever estimate the quality of education FIT is providing. I once did & now know better. Take up that panther 🐆 pride. One last thing. You’ll get to see rockets 🚀 taking off every couple weeks from campus. Nasa & cape canaveral are 40mins away.

    This school is some sort of racket, I would recommend looking elsewhere to receive your degree. The school’s “academic advisors” are actually the program directors and professors, so they have a personal interest in what classes they put you in and won’t let you choose or advocate for yourself. Because of this, they are also not interested in solving problems you may face because then they’d have to take responsibility for them. The TAs barely know what they’re supposed to be instructing you in, and will get flustered if you have a question and do the work for you instead of actually teaching you to be self-sufficient. Additionally, the course descriptions are severely lacking and you will find that the instruction for nearly all classes feels very clandestine and disorganized. There is no transparency or way to make an informed decision at this “school”. For those living on campus in student housing, you may experience mold, insects, and furniture caked in animal hair. The school will not put effort into remedying this. The cafeteria food is abysmal after the first week of classes. There is a large foreign student population at this school, FIT may be relying on their newness to the States in order to maintain their poor standards. For those of us who value receiving a first-world and excellent education, I suggest NOT ATTENDING FLORIDA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY.

    Florida Tech is a great place to study, especially for those studying Ocean Majors and Aerospace Majors. Located 15 minutes from the beach and 10 minutes from the Indian River Lagoon, if you are interested in study either of these environments you may have class field trips to see the theories you study on campus in real life. Located on the Space Coast of Florida you can see rocket launches from campus, or you can head up to Kennedy Space Center to watch the launch up close and personal. Professors are great are interacting with students and helping them to succeed. Hands on research opportunities starting your freshman year. Overall, a great experience for students.

    I am currently a junior standing here and two critical problems on this campus haven't been fixed until today: 1. Worst Wi-Fi network on the planet Students can't use the wifi often because of poor connection. This problem has been issued a few years ago, but the campus facilities seem silent. 2. Out of parking spaces Because the school is over-accepting the students every year, all the parking spaces are full every day. (I waited for 10-15 min for empty spaces sometimes) This is my first time experiencing parking problems in the States. They need to build more parking lots or stop over-accepting students.

    Florida Tech offers an amazing Aerospace Engineering program with professors who have a ton of industry experience! The professors and staff are very helpful! The dining hall has a great variety of food, after all we have a personal chef. The dorms/apartments are very nice and spacious. You can even see rocket launches from your dorm! This school offers so many great opportunities for everyone! Go Panthers!

    Florida Tech has been my home away from home. The energy the place and the people have is unique and would say that I am as happy as I can be here at Florida Tech. Ever since I started attending school here I felt like my education and wellness was more than covered. It has given me connections and friendships that will last forever and I will forever be grateful to have chosen Florida Tech. My professors have always been caring and helpful and I have never felt like I didn't belong here. I loved the community and how many different clubs and organizations they have, so socializing has been an easy part as well. Overall I don't think I could have chosen a better experience than attending Florida Tech.

    Frank Kinney isa poor example of your school. He is my nephew and just paid me a visit ,to steal my family photo albums in the middle of the night,delete my door video , not answer my phone calls, and he and his wife I,m sure are patting themselves on the back. I attempted to file a police report and was advised that he had permission to be in my home and it was a family matter. I,m sure he is trusted with information that you might rethink just a suggestion. I,d like to think my family I can always trust but that’s not true in this situation. If you need any further information or police information you can email me and I,ll be happy to provide. I,m very hurt and troubled by this situation. I,m 75 and my memories in photos are of great importance to me as many members of my family are gone now . I,m sure you would feel the same if this happened to you and your family. As I said the sheriffs dept called this a family matter and could do nothing ,so I guess I,m the loser. I would hate to hear that The university put their faith in someone with no sense of family values. I,m certain your school stands for higher standards than that. I guess this is all I can do in the hope to permit a similar situation from effecting you school. Believe me Frank Kinney is not who you might think he is, stealing family photos is right up there on the scale, I would have rather he took my purse. Do with this what you will. Your welcome to contact me if I can give you anymore information. Thank you

    FIT has a very impressive campus. There was standing room only for the crowd of guest's attending the commencement ceremonies which were held there today. Diplomas of academic achievements were awarded to the hundreds of graduates honored at today's event. Congratulations to all those of the Class of 2022.

    Classes online are the best. I love how much I was learning every day. Highly recommended... I got graduated from the ABA certification program for BCBA and I approved in my first try when took the Board.

    Melbourne, Florida’s very first school. The Little Red Schoolhouse is located in The Botanical Gardens on The Florida Tech Campus. This building was erected in 1883 by John Goode, an early settler, he built the school about 800 yards south of his home, known then as Fountain Heights, located on The Indian River. The Schoolhouse served both white and black students. The fist two teachers were Maude Goode and May Valentine. The school was painted red from the very beginning and had a hand operated pump which stood outside the door, there were no desk inside the schoolhouse, only benches. The students wrote on slats. Each school term was five to six month in the summer time. #melbourneflorida #melbourne #littleredschoolhouse #melbournehistory

    Woke up today with what appears to be a needle mark next to a well defined vein, I wouldn't think much of it but there also appears to be 4 small marks around it that look like they came from an IC extractor.
