Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Florida A&M University will prepare you to excel in your future career. The professors push and encourage their students to go beyond their limits. There are no handouts at the University—you have to work hard and earn your grades. FAMU also offers lots of student organizations, and it’s recommended that you get involved with at least one. Many students met some of their best friends through campus organizations.

The University is also unique because it is rich in tradition and culture. Students here bleed orange and green, and their love for the University stays with them after graduation. In fact, FAMU has a huge alumni following, and alumni are constantly coming back to campus for events. Another unique thing about FAMU is the University’s award-winning marching band, Marching 100. The band has performed in Super Bowls, appeared on national TV, including CBS News and ESPN College Day, performed with Kanye West and Jamie Foxx at the 2006 Grammys, and was even asked by President Obama to play at one of his events. Many FAMU students say there is no doubt in their minds that they would choose the University again if they had the choice. This University is truly a home away from home and continues to produce educated and successful future leaders.

Best HBCU

So far my college experience is great. The people are fun to hang out with and you'll always find someone who is just like you. You can find help whenever you need it from students and staff.

A Good, Small School

Florida A&M University is a good school, weather you are looking for fun or a serious educational experience. It is easy to get caught up in the fun side of things, but there are great programs that can give you what you need to get out into the world. I didn't want to come to Florida A&M originally, but ever since I have come to campus I have enjoyed my experience and am proud to be a Rattler.
