The Florida Institute of Technology is an excellent private university! I loved my time at Florida Tech, and I hope to return to continue my studies in the future. FIT is perfect for those who prefer a smaller campus, a more intimate classroom environment, and approachable instructors. Florida Tech has a wonderful program for those who need accommodations due to learning disabilities; such as extra time and quiet location during testing. The Student Life and Events at FIT is great! The campus is just minutes away from the beach and only a couple hours from Orlando. There are annual scheduled trips to both Disney World and Universal Studios. Additional student activities include casino night, painting with a twist, and homecoming concert series.
Florida Tech Campus is great! Though a decent amount of the professors are pretty trash. This is surprising since they only recently introduced tenure track on the campus. So these bad professors are getting terrible reviews year after year, and not being fired for no reason?
Campus life is pretty fun if you engage yourself in it! Definitely a lot of opportunities to research if you're into that. The campus is only a 5-10 minute drive from the beach which is really nice! Security is pretty good, even walking back from a party at 4am, you'll see security everywhere doing there patrols, which makes you feel pretty safe. The campus is also extremely well lit, so no dark spots where anything shady can happen. The quad dorm halls are pretty trash, but everywhere else is great. The food at PDH is always just high calorie garbage, very rarely are the meals good. Looking forward to cooking in my apartment next year lol.

Post-covid academics are challenging. The staff in many of the freshman and older departments are struggling to figure out where the students are academically, and also struggle to get the material to reach the students. This is a problem that will be solved the longer that we are able to readjust to in-person classes.
On-campus, they do a great job of announcing events. Almost every week, there's an event that caters to something the student body needs. They gave out sleep kits on finals and even had puppies from the shelter to play with.
The botanical garden on campus is gorgeous and always fun to explore, even at night!
Overall my experience at the school has been amazing. I've met a lot of new and interesting people, especially with all of the international students who attend the college as well. I know that I always can get help with my academics at the school when I need, and I've found a home.
