I’ve
noticed as I walked around the school how FIU needs minimum improvements. The Freshman
and Transfer Orientations needs to be shortened. I went to the Transfer
Orientation before school started, yet it was such an ennui spending 9 hours
there. However, the Freshman Orientation must have been agonizing for the
incoming freshman class since it lasted two days, although sleeping
arrangements were provided. The food provided for both orientations definitely
energized hungry students—I don’t know how the food was at the Freshman
Orientation was, so I’m assuming it was the same one served at the Transfer
Orientation—, but the tour around the school should be extended for students to stretch their legs.
Unpredictable weather mostly happens,
especially pouring rain. The moist air does give a fresh, cool breeze, but the
rain causes people to be nearly or completely soaked from a few raindrops or
hard rain showers. One day, I had to stay in the Graham Center due to the cats
and dogs weather, causing me to be late for my last class of the day and
getting nearly soaked. A pathway I took to exit the DM building and arrive to
the U.S. Century Bank Arena had too many trees as if I was walking through a
rainforest. FIU should hand out complimentary umbrellas, just as how they would
usually give free shirts, backpacks, pens/pencils, etc. Students could get sick
from the rain if they don’t stay dry. If FIU can’t, there should be covers
built to easily walk to another building or trim some of the trees.
The FIU Barnes & Noble doesn’t price
their products fairly, especially textbooks. School supplies and personal care
items are being sold unfairly for the most ridiculous prices. The textbooks’
prices are different than the ones Barnes & Noble charge online. FIU Barnes
& Noble should change the textbooks’ prices to the ones Barnes & Noble
charge. The prices should be reduced for students to get better deals in
purchasing things they need in order to save money and the FIU Barnes &
Noble would have an increase in sales.
So many buildings in the MMC are being
built, slowly transforming into a miniature city. Many people crowd around during
events or clubs sponsoring like a sale in a shopping mall. Also, there are many
restaurants where delectable aromas waft from the kitchens, many delicious
flavors that could make anyone’s mouth water. More buildings mean too many
people, which will probably become difficult for others to move around. FIU
should develop more buildings in the BBC since it’s rather smaller than the MMC,
allowing more students living in the area to attend classes easily in one
campus instead of going to another, thus saving money on gas or from taking the
Golden Panther Shuttle Bus.
There should be more gardens in the
MMC so that there are more colors than just already familiar ones. A garden is a
place where students could really relax and/or volunteer to assist in taking
care of the gardens, as well as learning about responsibility. Japanese gardens
are known to bring tranquility, so, FIU should make one, especially with koi
ponds for everyone to enjoy watching the beautiful array of colors swimming
around, including the sweet scents of nature and experience seeing new kinds of
plants and/or flowers.
Too much water builds up on the
sidewalk and the grass after a rain shower on the MMC Campus. People will
literally get cold feet when their shoes get wet and go to a class where a
tornado must have sucked up the chill from winter and stuffed it in the
classrooms. The people who mow the grasses should find a way to make sure the
ground doesn’t get too wet and someone should clear away the big puddles on the
sidewalk so that the students can have easier access to go quickly to class
without getting their feet wet on the way.
