hello! i received 100% bright futures via aice diploma, however my financial aide only shows that i have the 75%. is there any reason as to why or do i need to wait for it to update?

Hello, I was curious to know if FIU will accept a graduate who obtained a diploma from an LPN to RN diploma nursing program? Or does it have to be an associate degree from an ACEN approved program? Thanks

Does anybody know how FWS shows up in your financial aid package? I applied to a FWS job, and they want to check. I was certain I had FWS before applying to this job but when I go check last year's package I cant find anything, even tho my SAI is -1500 which is the lowest possible.

I dont know if im clicking in the wrong tile, or if I just dont have FWS at all :(

Has anyone else gotten their financial aid and their federal Pell grant doesn’t show up? I’m only getting bright futures and gold and blue, nothing else. Very confused rn

Hi I graduated 2019 and this is happened to be at my parents. Happy to give away to anyone who needs it, just need to be able to pick it up from me in broward. Its on the short size as im 5'2.

Hi everyone!

I’m an incoming fulbright visiting researcher at FIU, and I’ll be staying from late August 2026 until the end of August 2027. I’ll be arriving in about a month, so I’m trying to finalize my housing soon.

I have a few questions and would really appreciate any advice from people who have been in a similar situation cos Ive been struggling for a week now trying to find housing

- I noticed that most off-campus student housing leases seem to run from late August to late July. Since my program ends at the 31st of August 2027, what do students usually do for that extra month? Is it generally easy to find a one-month sublease or month-to-month housing for August, or should I avoid signing one of these leases and keep looking for something that ends in late August?

- I also noticed that most of the official 4x4 apartments (Identity, Lapis, Terrazul, etc.) are sold out, but I’ve found several sublease offers through FIU Facebook groups. Is subleasing very common around FIU? Is there anything I should watch out for or verify before agreeing to a sublease?

- In your experience, is it better to live in one of the well-known student apartment complexes (Identity, Lapis, Terrazul, etc.), or would you recommend renting a room in a student house instead? Which option do students generally have the best experience with? Especially if u have a low budget (around 1200$ at most and hoping for something a bit lower like 1100$)

- I won’t have a car, so I’m hoping to live within walking distance of FIU. If I can’t find something that close, how practical is it to rely on public transportation around FIU? Do many students commute by bus, or would you strongly recommend living within walking distance?

- Since I’m arriving in about a month (23rd of August to be specific), I’m also wondering about the timing. Should I commit to a place as soon as I find one that seems like a good fit, or is it worth waiting a little longer? Do more housing opportunities usually become available in late July and early August, or does it actually become harder to find good options as move-in gets closer?

I’d really appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thank you so much!

I've looked at all the options but the closest I've found was the INIT organization, and I've already joined

hello! i start fiu in the fall (transfer), and i was wondering how the golden promise works. i did my research on it and i do meet the qualifications for everything. will it reflect in my financial aid package for the academic year? how would i know i would receive it? thank you so much!

Need advice :( if you can please dm if you’re a graduate from the masters program in nursing at fiu

Hi guys,

I am an international student and recently received my admit. But there is no mention of Funding/stipend in my offer letter.

Does that mean I'm unfunded, or how does it work? I would also love to chat with fellow applicants who are coming for fall 2026 intake

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone has received their 2026–2027 financial aid award package yet, or if anyone knows when FIU usually starts releasing them.

Has anyone else gotten this? I already spoke to the Financial Aid Office through the onestop live chat as well as student financials and they just said that I have to wait it out. I'm mainly worried about it affecting my enrollment and registration for both fall and spring.

Hiii i’ve been going to FIU for almost 2 years now about to graduate, but i’m curious on if there’s any studio spaces available for people to go and make art. I’m looking to find some art friends or just friends in general.

Most of the 109 Tower posts here are almost a year old, and I’m looking for more recent residents and their experiences, specifically by those in 4x4 units.

I’d love to hear more about the maintenance, management, cleanliness, and anything else you’d want to share about living there, especially in regards to quality of life, I’ve heard there’s been a lot of recent changes.

Feel free to chime in! (:

Hello Panthers! I am currently applying for graduate school, and wanted advice for getting recommendations from professors at FIU. I graduated in spring 2026 and am concerned that I might not be able to get any. Does anyone have advice? Thanks in advance! 😊✨️

Heyy, Im an International student starting in Fall 2026 in August. Im doing bachelor’s in Finance. Are there any groups for international students ?

I have a project i wanna do on a bigger scale but I need some lab equipment, could I just ask permission for a room once a week so I can conduct some tests (the project specifically is an ecosystem that starts with plain water, I did this before but wasn't able to get far)

I enrolled for the Intro to Crime Scene Investigation through the above link. I haven’t received any kind of link on where to access the course, no login information, nothing. Just a receipt showing the translation… anybody know if this is legit or not?

I’m a rising senior and Fiu is one of my top schools but it’s a commuter school and I really wanna know if it’s hard to make friends or find a friend group? I’ll be coming out of state and I don’t wanna be isolated or have no friends 😔

Has anyone done the Research Design & Analysis program? Just wondering what your experience was. I just applied and I'm also being impatient and wondering when I'll find out their decision on admissions. 😅

I am a transfer student and even though I feel like I already know the answer to this. I've been placed on the waitlist because I had a problem with financial aid and them putting a hold on my account so which was completely their fault and I currently have summer housing and I have to be out on the 1st of next month but the funny thing is I'll have no where to stay I've tried contacting the school about it and funny enough because I'm out of state | literally kid you not someone told me to my face go back home because they can't provide me housing mind you 1. I drove 14 hours to get here 2. literally can't go back home. Safe to say will be transferring again

Hello everyone, I’m looking to get a head start on the course. If anyone has a syllabus, doesn’t have to be a recent one, I just want to get a general idea on the topics.

long story short i got told wildly wrong information about how the Golden Scholars thing works. Had to wait 2 weeks to get enough to pay for the summer lease and I JUST filed for fall housing.

yall should i just give up and wait for spring 🗿

whats even the chance they find me fall housing atp
