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.

Symptoms may include: impatience, rudeness, bitchitude, snappiness, distress, feeling empty inside, delusion, anger, stress, violence, yelling, being an asshole, or even betrayal to those around you.

Get the Dora the Internet Explorer mug.n. An internet coolguy is often annoying and extremely disrespectful on the internet, but hilarious. Internet coolguys don't play by the rules, piss off internet toughguys, and use the internet for one thing and one thing only: to make other people feel worse about themselves. The internet coolguy will ask you questions about your personal life in order to feel out how important the internet is to you. Upon discovering significant importance, the internet coolguy will proceed to call you derogatory and hateful names until you either cry, get mad, fight back, or report them. The only way to defeat an internet coolguy is to either ignore him (no matter how difficult) or come to realize just how funny he actually is.
internet victim: "I'm on the phone with xBox support right now reporting your gamertag."
internet coolguy: "You think I care? Do you have any idea how many people have reported me? Tell ya what, call the person on the phone a fag too for me. And then tell them how much of a pussy you are for being a little tattle-tale."
