    If you want to attend a college that is far, but not to far away from home FMU is a great school for that. Also if community bathrooms are not your thing FMU's dorm rooms and apartments all have a suite style. read full review

    My tips for prospective students are not to party too must, learn how to manage your money and time, and also do not procrastinate.

    If you attend too many parties, whether on campus or off, it will effect your sleeping and studying time. If you decide to go out to a probate or have a night out with friends, you must be sure your assignments due the upcoming day are complete. Professors do not accept excuses.

    As a college student, I find it difficult to manage my money due to the fact that I am on my own when it comes to my wants and needs. If you see something you need, then get it, yet on the other hand if it's an unneccesary want, SAVE YOUR MONEY. You get little money back in text-book refunds, it is best that you save your money.

    Last, I want to say do no procrastinate when it comes to assignments! If you procrastinate you will not do as well as if you managed your time and studied for your exam more or worked on a term paper. Professors don't play when it comes to grading.
