I'm not too worried about the roommates, but suite mates!! 4 people sharing one bathroom is a bit much. I'm sure we will be so busy that will be the least of are worries.

LOTS of work, combined with LOTS of extra sessions that include guest speakers etc= No sleep and no free time. However, this is a great group of CLEO students, so everyone is kind and supportive (atleast thus far lol),the faculty here is great, and the speakers have been extremely resourceful. FIU is a beautiful campus with colorful buildings and palm trees everywhere, and Miami is a great city so it helps. Be ready to work your butt off though! Be humbled, overconfidence is not really celebrated in the classroom. It's good to speak up and clearly, but if you think you can possibly impress or outsmart the professor on your first few days, you will be sadly mistaken. But yes, be ready to work work work!!!! They WILL throw you right in on the first day. Note: the first day is orientation because you will already be put to work! And lastly...get...ready...for...Ms.....WILLIAMS...That's an experience! She is an AMAZING woman though, and we should all feel lucky to have been in contact with her! Good luck!
