cindyy-evans asked: Hi, In terms of credits I'm currently a sophomore, but I'm two classes short from being able to declare my majors. I want to get them over with during the summer, but because I have yet to complete my FAFSA so I was wondering if I could take them at Dade. Would this look bad for law schools? Also, would these help satisfy the 9 required summer credits? THANKS :)

Anonymous asked: I just got accepted to FIU and FAU, both for psychology. I am deciding on which school I should attend. Does FIU have a larger campus? A better football team? Cheaper housing? Nicer housing? The only thing that concerns me about FIU is the area. Miami can be a bit sketchy, so I'm not sure how safe my parents would feel about me staying there. Please give me an honest opinion! :)

WatchThe GC Fountain on FIU’s Modesto Maidique Campus has been the central location for a multitude of events over the years. From reflective relaxation to political and religious discourse to skateboarders’ proving grounds, there is always something going on at the Fountain.
For a brief moment at the end you get to see Venus and Jupiter…

thegarlander asked: Hello! I applied to FIU- Biscayne campus, about four weeks ago. Since then, I have decided that I wanted to go start during the Summer Term (2012), instead of the Fall Term (2012). Can I somehow note this change to the admission office? And could this increase or hinder my chance of being accepted?

Anonymous asked: Hi there. I was wondering about financial aid/scholarships. I had gone to the student financials office to ask them about the requirements and all they did was ask me for my parent annual income and once I told them they flat out said I wasn't eligible for anything. Could you tell me the requirements though? Are all scholarships need based?
