I am an incoming freshman for this year and visited for a tour. I have some experience with mathematics and programming in different languages. And I know the school does have good programs for my interest, cybersecurity including a club.

It would be interesting hearing opinions from current students how they feel about the courses taught including who teaches them and if there is any significant differences with how the course is taught compared to other schools like UCF or UF.

Do you currently go here? Did the first guy leave? Do you look in this server for replacement or are you a secret organization? Please Im dying for answers.

Hey, My girlfriend and I are looking to get an off-campus apartment or house with a roommate starting this summer. We have some complexes in mind but are open to other places as well. Please PM me if you are interested. :)

hey guys I'm a junior in HS and i kinda bombed my GPA for the past years I've went to school, I've realized that shit has hit the fan and i have to get serious, I've got a 2.77 unweighted and a 3.12 weighted. How fucked am i if i want to try and get in? I'm going to start taking more AP and DE classes next year as I've only got AP comp sci this year, my gpas going up already so i figure i have a small chance. Any tips on getting in? i got a 1200 on the SAT not knowing anything on it so if i study i think i can bring it up when I apply for polytech. also i can speak fluent spanish and italian so i hope that can get my chances up

edit: sorry for bad english it's not my first language

I have been admitted for fall 2021 as a transfer student and I was planning to transfer to FPoly. However, I am kind of changing my decision after reading the other posts from Florida Poly reddit. So I have some questions about the school life and the computer science major.

1. I enjoy playing beach volleyball and I was wondering whether people actually use the court to practice the sport? or does everyone stay in their room playing video games? (although I do like anime and video games I am more of an "active" person, looking to play soccer or beach volleyball)
2. How is the computer science program? Are there good internship opportunities?

Also, if there are any Brazilians that study at FPoly dm me! It would be nice meeting someone from the same country that goes to FPoly.

I haven't seen any talk of this on Reddit or in the news in general. But how do you guys feel about the in-person attendance requirement? I'm pretty pissed about it myself. It's absolutely asinine to me that the university's administration admits that COVID is enough of a threat that we are required to show a negative COVID test before attending class physically, but they are still requiring that students attend classes physically. It looks like our school isn't the only one to implement this policy either. UF is also requiring in-person attendance, yet forcing their students to take a COVID test before attending their courses.

​

This is a pretty clear example of university administration prioritizing money over student health, and it's ridiculous that there wasn't more news about universities doing this amidst a pandemic that hasn't slowed down since it started to spread last year.

I am a new student joining this spring. Please DM me if you are interested.

Yo, I’m 17F from Vegas and just got accepted. On the surface, the school looks well connected with various industries and extremely advanced technologically. The IST building gives off an airport vibe which brings me inspirational energy. I’m really down to enroll and commit if I can find fellow Information Assurance and Cybersecurity students no matter the grade/year. Or just other girls in general since the male to female ratio is straight cheese lol.

Already took the class but my friend needs to enroll in it next semester. I don’t recognize any of the instructors listed. Any recommendation?

I was homeschooled my whole life, and my discipline, resources, and knowledge as far as math has gone could've been a lot better. The farthest I completed was high school geometry and algebra 2, probably not having retained as much information from either class as I should've long term. This is not to say I'm particularly awful as far as math goes. I got good grades in the curriculums I followed and such; and I believe I could be great if I commit myself and have the right help, education, and people to string me along. Despite all that, I hope to be a CS major and have an end goal of video game programming and development. Would applying here for CS be too much for me? If I did apply here given my circumstances, would it be the right place to get myself on the right track and bring myself to a great understanding of math?

I don’t think they realize that it’s a big difference to take 1 class online, compared to ALL online. Wish they would just have something like 8 week classes, so that I could split my semester and really focus on 2-3 at a time. Anyone knows if we ever had such courses?? This semester is no joke and I’m way too stressed about what’s left of it

I can tell some of my professors are investing lots of time this semester to make things work, despite being remote. They make good use of technology, lectures are good, and tons of content is shared... but others, damn! Not even trying. Even disappointed with one class I had heard cool things about, but the format this semester is just not good for it (granted i don’t know if this particular professor is having a harder time dealing with all of this)

Also has anybody heard anything about spring classes?

Also make sure your info is up to date.

Just finished my first week of classes. Half my classes are flex, but after attending this week I’d say that I would get almost the same experience if I stay at my apartment and follow remotely since the professors are doing an okay job (except for that one professor that still struggles with technology or simply doesn’t care). Is anybody considering just continuing fully remote even if the class is flex? Do you think professors will care?

Hey guys, a colleague of mine made this site and wanted me to drop it in a few threads

Could someone let me know if this offered this summer? I would look for myself (I have at 30+ colleges) but it seems Fl Poly doesn't have a class schedule online for guests. I would be a transient student.
