Florida School Information

Hello- I had tons of support when my daughter rushed last year at Iowa State; now, I need different advice. My son is visiting Florida schools this week: St. Thomas, Barry, and Florida International on Monday; Werner on Tuesday; Flagler on Wednesday-- Any information on any of these?? He is looking into sports management and would love to run on a track team-- he is very interested in Florida- Thanks

Flagler is the only one worth looking at. You might also consider Rollins.

Wait a minute, adpiucf - why do you say THAT? What do you know about the other schools?

oldrusheenowmom: St. Thomas & Barry are private schools, in North Miami. Both have very good reputations for small schools, but they are always overshadowed by the larger schools in the area: Univ of Miami and FIU.

FIU, which is a public university, is very well-rounded. Actually, there are a few FIU alumnae here on Greekchat. Anyway, FIU has 2 campuses: one is in southwest Miami (main campus) and the other campus is also in North Miami.

The con about attending school in North Miami is that there isn't much affordable student housing (though I think St. Thomas & Barry have dorms; FIU has dorms on their South campus).

Anyway, if you want more info, please PM me.

Wasn't aware that I had to qualify my statements through you. Is there a form I'm supposed to file?

Wow! You're clever!

I guess this means you DON'T know anything about the schools that oldrusheenowmom was asking about!

We've. Got. This. Thanks!

Why are you getting so offended? It's really not that big of deal. adpiucf was born and raised in Florida. I'm sure she checked out all Florida schools when she was in HS during the college application process. I know that I did. She's more than qualified to have an opinion on this matter.

Anyhow, Flagler is the top out of all those schools academically speaking. The other schools don't compare.
