I had a reason to explore the campus of Florida Institute of Technology as about 20 of our freshmen at the Japanese university where I was teaching attended a three-week long language training program at the campus, while they stayed with individual families. My visit was planned long enough in advance, and I received a warm welcome from the university staff and from the faculty and director of the English Language Institute, where our students were studying.
During my multi-day stay in Melbourne, I was able to go along to some of their classes and also attend one of their on-campus field trips, in which they visited the department of Aeronautical Sciences. It's a very modern, sprawling campus. As a visitor, I was given a parking pass to either park in the parking structure at the main entrance (see photo) or to use the student parking zones anywhere on campus. Our students who studied at FIT enjoyed their experience at the English Language Institute very much, and I was able to see their final research presentations at the end of their short-term study since I arrived for the last 3 days of their stay.
