Any college's reputation comes down to opinion, some opinions more qualified than others.
And I understand if current/past FIU students want to call this school 'prestigious' or 'excellent,' but
that's more a showing of school loyalty than any type of objectivity.
This school by virtually any sense is a safety school in Florida. It is that "I didn't get into any other four year universities so, ugh, I guess I will go here" type of school.
It has a better reputation than some of Florida's community colleges but it's hard to say anything more positive than that.
U.S. News Report is generally respected as the leading authority on how colleges measure up. I think that is the first source people consult when comparing universities and deciding where to apply or enroll.
These are the most recent U.S. News rankings of some recognizable national universities.
University of Florida Rank 42
University of Miami: Rank 46
Florida State: Rank 81
University of South Florida: Rank 140
University of Central Florida: Rank 171
Nova Southeastern: Rank 198
Florida A&M: Rank 207
Florida International University: Rank 216*
Although FIU ranks in last place among the listed schools, it is actually a marked improvement from not even making the list in years prior to 2018, and it has surpassed some community colleges.
However if you pay no mind to the leading assessor of college quality, then maybe you can be proud to go here, I don't know. Just my opinion anyway.

The newest member of the Intel processor family. Codenamed "Conroe", it was quite possibly the most anticipated processor launch in history. Core 2 Duo marks the retirement of the "Pentium" brand that has been Intel's flagship brand since 1993, and the streamlining of Intel's desktop and mobile product lines. Based on a hybrid Pentium M/Pentium 4 architecture, Core 2 Duo and its adherent, the Core 2 Extreme are both dual-core processors that use approximately 40% less power than the Pentium D, and run much cooler than their predecessors. Benchmarks from various enthusiast review sites have shown the Core 2 Duo/Extreme's performance surpasses that of AMD's high-performance chip, the FX-62. All Core 2 Duo/Extreme processors run on a 1066 Mhz front side bus, have 4 MBs of L2 Cache (the exception being the E6300 and E6400 models, which feature 2MBs of L2 Cache), and use the LGA775 socket already in use by the Pentium 4/D/Extreme. With a quad-core iteration of the Core 2 Duo on the horizon, codenamed Kentsfield, to be released at the end of this year, the future is looking pretty bright for Intel.
