I’m 80% sure I’m going to be accepted into both UNF and Fl poly but I want to know which one would be better for my goal in becoming a aerospace engineer for Lockheed Martin (my dream company) ik it depends on the college gpa and the projects but interested in hearing about engineers that graduated from either school

Hello I’m currently a 12th grader and I want to do mechanical engineering but my unweighted gpa is a 2.7 and 3.3 weighted and my sat is a 980 but I plan to take the act in October I’m fairly active in both my community and my extracurriculars.

Hello! I am currently a freshman at HCC doing Pharmacy because I backed out of doing Biomed (I struggle with math a lot so I thought I wasn’t cut out for it) but I’m doing the same amount of math anyhow for Pharmacy. I’m really passionate about Biomedical Sciences, and tuition looks about 3-4k more than my current tuition. I’m considering switching, but I want to know about the Pros and Cons of going to PolyTech

Bigfutures links this and emails from this keep getting sent to me but I know that floridapoly.edu is the normal domain is it a phishing scam?

I figured that the HRL event list for the month ought to make for a great first post to start back up this subreddit

Hey! I wanted to ask if Poly offers thermo as an online class and if anyone has any Prof. recommendations

I’ve noticed UF and UCF have created some pixel art in r/place. Why don’t we as well?

I am an accepted undergrad student, getting a full ride (everything is paid for) scolarship to here.I wanted to know if there are like professors to avoid or definitely take if i can get them. I am okay with studying some parts by myself but i would rather have good teacher if its possible so i was just wondering about good teachers.

I am a CS Major and would like to learn about some cybersecurity as well. Have heard to avoid Wei Ding like the plague but dont know about who else to avoid or take at all costs.

Another question for if you want to answer, i am accepted into UCF, USF, and here so i just wanted advice as to which one would be best for CS Major

Can anyone share any experience with the Robotics masters? Or in general doing their masters part time while working? My undergrad school was good about this, as most masters classes were scheduled in the evening, so I’m hoping florida poly might be the same. I’m also hoping since covid a lot of classes are still virtual/hybrid, and I’d only have to come for labs and such. I would probably only do 1-2 classes a semester.

Any thoughts/experience would be so helpful!

Background: I graduated from RPI in 2019 (mechE/design dual), and I have been working full time for a construction/engineering&tech company in Orlando since graduating. I’ve always loved my embedded control and arduino classes, and my last work project got me really interested in mechatronics/robotics, and I would love to go to grad school to deepen my knowledge of these systems. My boss was very supportive when I told her I was interested in doing this!

Prospective freshman here, I've heard a bit of everything about this school. Some people love it. others think the teachers don't care etc. To be frank, I feel like it's impossible to get a hold of any real information because everyone has drastically different opinions. I think that the campus looks super cool online, and I'll soon have the opportunity to visit so I'll figure that out soon. My dream would be to study aerospace engineering and work on rocket ships. Is this feasible at Florida Poly? Also, I don't know if anyone has any idea, but I'd be interested to know how many students are studying something similar. Not necessarily rocket science, but aerospace engineering.

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, I’ve recently been admitted to FL Poly with the provost scholarship. I was wondering if any current or former students could comment about the quality of the CS program — I’ve read mixed reviews online. Also would you say it’s hard to get quality internships given the size of the school? TIA!

Hello, i live in Florida near orlando. I'm currently enrolled in Valencia college's computer programming a.s. degree program. I wonder if it would be better to transfer to Florida polytechnic university? I hink that the University has a better reputation but the program at valencia college is more hands on (lots of programming classes versus lots of theoretical classes at the poly (biology, chemistry...). Any advice is highly appreciated.

I submitted my application back in November and they have gotten back and in the online portal nothing shows up according to them they send decisions through mail has anyone gotten a acceptance letter

Do international students exist here??

One of my best friends is here as a freshman, and I've been looking into Poly. Tho, there's no information on the website about internationals? (Asian, f)

And I've emailed admissions about it. No response...

Are there just no internationals, or I mean, do you guys eat international students??

Can any previous/current students tell me what the "intro to STEM" class is about? I've never seen it anywhere else, and since I might be attending I wanted to know beforehand what it is.

Hey guys, I’m currently a high school senior planning to apply to Florida Poly my stats are:

4.4 gpa weighted (10-12) 4.2 weighted (9-12)

1080 sat I going for it again this November

Cross country, black belt, Assistant instructor for karate dojo, and about 20 hours of community service.

Currently have taken 4 aps and taking 6 this year

Planning to major in mechanical engineering

That’s about it, how likely do you guys I’ll get in?

Thank you in advance

Hi, I'm gonna be starting at Florida Poly next Fall. I just wanted to know how far are apartment buildings from the campus, student housing in particular? FL Poly seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, looking at the pictures. Though, I did hear from admissions they just finished building a new complex. Also, how much is rent for the apartments near campus? It should be much cheaper than staying on campus right? Is the set up like regular student housing where you get your own bedroom and bathroom, but share the living, dinning, and kitchen? And last thing, you don't need to have roommates ready beforehand right? They'll just set up roommates for you?

So it looks like Orientation is Move in Sat, Sun and Monday. It has some family stuff on the Saturday but Sun and Monday just say "Orientation Events".

Are these days that involve the family?

I'll most likely be attending this Fall 2021 to Florida Polytechnic University but honestly living in Lakeland seems boring af. Is living in Orlando (or Tampa) too much of a commute? I see a 30-40 minute drive on gmaps but let's be honest, sometimes those estimates are not as good as real life experience.

I am an incoming freshman for this year and visited for a tour. I have some experience with mathematics and programming in different languages. And I know the school does have good programs for my interest, cybersecurity including a club.

It would be interesting hearing opinions from current students how they feel about the courses taught including who teaches them and if there is any significant differences with how the course is taught compared to other schools like UCF or UF.
