A medium sized college located in southwest Ohio that serves mainly commuters. WSU is known for its lame parties,decent dorm rooms, excellent engineering program , and its hot girls. Many kids there wear Wright State t-shirts in order to remind themselves what school they go too.
I park out in lot 20 because I love walking 20 miles to get to my car!
I came to Wright State University because my parents made me!
I'm transferring to 0SU in 2 years.

Covered in trademarked orange and black plaid, the PUB triumphs in the Ivy League both academically, musically, and sexually. All other Ivy Bands are boring and lame, except the Brown Band. They're cool. Everyone else just wishes they could wear the plaid and wake up hungover students at absurd hours in the morning during march around. Also, after a victory at a home game, the PUB has a "fountain gig" where members get wet and play with each other, sexually, in the Woody Woo fountain for no real reason besides being awesome.
Penn (state) Student 1- "Hey, is that the Princeton University Band?"
Penn (state) Student 2- "Yeah bro, they're so cool."
Penn (state) Student 1- "How cool?"
Penn (state) Student 2- "Soooooo cool"
Penn (state) Student 1- "Man I wish I got in to Princeton, luckily we have ED."

A maximum security prison in Greenville, South Carolina that masquerades as an institution of higher learning.
The people who run the place think along the same lines of the "Shakers", who think the outside world with all its sex, rock, movies, and other good things are actually evil.
Extreme Christian fundamentalism is its doctrine. Christians who really don't know any better go there instead of a fully accredited liberal arts college. Students think it's a good place only because they are constantly told that it is a good place. People who do know better would say fuck all that!
Now, it would be unfair to say everything about it is bad. What energy they don't use for sex, eating, and other necessary functions of life, they put into art, music, and theater. The choirs and orchestras are top notch, and the theater productions are as well. But you have to think, is all that really worth it? I don't think so.

My sister went to Bob Jones University. She's now a constant Biblethumper who nobody wants to be around.

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.

An HBCU in Houston, Texas. Its origins can be traced to Heman Sweatt, an African-American who applied to the University of Texas Law School in the 1940's. The university did not admit blacks. Rather than admit him, the state of Texas created an entire university and law school for blacks, which eventually came to be known as Texas Southern University and the Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
I'll be attending Texas Southern University in the Fall.
