Francis Marion University is a very bright and hard working University! They welcome all of their students with open arms and are very dedicated to making sure all students succeed in their course of study. With me being an upcoming sophomore at Francis Marion, i have been taught numerous of things. My freshman year was a difficult task simply because college was new to me , but the staff and students dedicated their free time to all of the new students who attended. I was blessed to be apart of the best organization on campus , the Francis Marion Diplomats. We are basically the face of Francis Marion. Our mission is to represent Francis Marion and make all new students feel like their at home. From the beautiful scenery on Francis Marion’s campus to the very educated staff we have, Francis Marion is by far the best college that I’ve even known of!
I strongly believe that the professors at Francis Marion actually care about their students. With the current pandemic, and the transition to online learning, I am able to email my professors at any time of the day with any questions that I may have content-related, and they will be willing to help in any way that they can. The transition from classroom-based learning to online learning has not been the easiest, but I feel as though the professors are doing everything in their power to assist the students. Zoom sessions, emails, PowerPoints, etc., are all ways that our professors at FMU have been able to assist us in making the transition easier. I feel strongly that my overall time at Francis Marion, including online learning, has been able to help shape me to be as great as I possibly can be in my future career endeavors.
Francis Marion university is such a welcoming university with intelligent professors that will put you, as the student, through obstacles that will only help you in the long run. The campus has beautiful scenery that is like right out of a book. The environment is calm and safe and getting involved is so much fun!
