- Reviewed on: February 27, 2012
Flag Review - Rating:
- I am really happy at FDU. The Metropolitan Campus is gorgeous, the campus community is friendly and supportive, and the small class sizes allow me to get to know my teachers pretty well, they all know me by name, which is important to me, it makes you feel more than just a ID number.
