Academically- 10/10 excellent teachers and well rounded staff with diverse backgrounds

Student Life-2/10, not much variety to do on campus, 90% of student are from south Florida, might as well be University of Miami Tallahassee Campus at this point. Not much extra-curricular activities either. Huge turn off from an out-of-state students perspective because there is such a lack of diversity among the backgrounds of the students. On top of that, FAMU is always in the media for something stupid like REPEATED fraudulent funding or rape or hazing.

No Tradition-Unlike Howard or Tuskegee, there is a definite lack of prestige and class on and off campus. You can definitely tell when people ask what school you attend, you will get the an oh that's nice versus a wow that amazing. On campus, more students are too focused on making it daily fashion show than actually learning.

The absolute worse thing about this institution is that staff that runs the Administrative Offices. They are utterly and completely rude all the time and too ALL the students. The ones that are nice usually can't help you and your transferred to some incompetent local. It will drive you insane and waste so much of your time your better off transferring to FSU like I did or go to Tuskegee.

I do not recommend going here on the premise of the latter. It is a living nightmare dealing with FA or the Registrar. If you care about your career you will go to an institution that values its students. The college you attend does matter, if anyone tells you otherwise they are are lying to you. I hope FAMU can one day realize how vile its staff is to its students and actually do something to change it.
