Welcome toย the biweekly subleasing thread! ๐Ÿฅณ

Looking to sublease your unit? Scrambling to find a place to stay during the upcoming semester? Look no further! Here, youโ€™ll be able to share or find available housing around campus.

PLEASE NOTE: ANY POSTS ABOUT SUBSLEASING THAT ARE MADE OUTSIDE OF THIS THREAD WILL BE REMOVED.

Additionally, this thread is for subleasing OFFICIAL FIU on/off-campusย housing only. This isย NOT the place to share rooms/apartments available to be rented on a private residence. Posts identified as such will also be removed.

Have a unit available?

Your unit โ€œadโ€ (to be commented below) must include the following information: โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž โ€Ž

If youโ€™re successful in finding someone to sublease your dorm, please edit and typeย closedย on your comment, or simply delete it. Furthermore,ย you can only share your unit once per thread, but feel free to share it again on the next biweekly thread if your dorm is still available.

Looking to takeover a lease?

You're more than welcome to share that you're looking to takeover a lease below. Ideally,ย your comment should state your preferences for the categories mentioned above. The more information you share about what you're looking for, the more likely someone will reach out about an available unit that will suit your needs. If you have no preferences, you can state that too.

Always proceed with extreme caution when inquiring about available dorms, as rental scams are becoming increasingly common and college students are viewed as an easy target. Unfortunately, r/FIU canโ€™t help you if you become a victim of a scam. The best way to protect yourself is by staying alert and learning how to recognize potential red flags.

Below youโ€™ll find some helpful articles on how to avoid getting scammed:

Thatโ€™s it! If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this thread, please don't hesitate to send us message via modmail. After all, we want everyone to be successful on their subleasing journey. Happy posting and paws up! ๐Ÿพ

Academics ๐Ÿ“š Take Physics with Calc at MDC or FIU?

2 Upvotes

I graduated at MDC with AA in Mechanical Engineering. However I didn't take physics and physics lab since I had 60+ credits (a lot were transferred from high school). I could take physics at MDC or FIU, what would be more difficult for me?

It's important I learn physics well for my major, so I'm wondering if I should take it at FIU for better understanding. Taking the class at MDC would be cheaper though.

Admissions โœ… When Can I Expect a Decision? (Spring โ€˜27)

2 Upvotes

Hey folks, pretty much what it says on the tin. I applied for my PhD in Earth Systems Science before the August 1st deadline, and itโ€™s been deferred to the dept for a decision. I submitted my transcript and other documents already so now Iโ€™m just waiting, but when could I potentially expect a decision so that I can arrange my work schedule for next semester (I would be under the allowed to work provision)? TYIA!

just received this textโ€ฆ so theyโ€™ve extended the payment deadline yet AGAIN to 9/27.

i still have not received my financial aid. each time i reach out to OneStop they have little to no answers for me. iโ€™ve been waiting since June. i have books i need to purchase and Iโ€™m unable to do so which results in me not turning in a few assignments on timeโ€ฆ this is incredibly frustrating.

Financial Aid ๐Ÿ’ฐ Finally Received My Financial Aid Package

30 Upvotes

Hi everyone, Iโ€™ve been updating my financial aid issues regularly here. I just got my financial aid offer. I only received my Pell grant (I usually receive more), but it could be because Iโ€™m on my last semester. Anyway, Iโ€™m one of those people that received the payment extension email, and I received my offer today at 11 am (Miami time).

2 Upvotes

For all of you that graduated with an MS in Psychology on Tuesday, 4 Aug 2026, what's your status?

Did you land a job interning/pre-licensed and are earning your supervised hours as an RMHCI and are working towards getting your Florida state license?
Did you get accepted into a PhD program?
Did you choose not to pursue work in the mental health field and are now doing something completely different?
Something else?

Me: I am trying to find someone to hire me as an RMHCI so that I can start earning hours towards my Florida state license.

Any and all feedback is appreciated. TIA.

Getting sent this email the day AFTER I went to OneStop and they told me I don't qualify for an extension so I'd have to apply for a payment plan. I had to drop all my classes for the semester since I can't afford a payment plan. Really twisting the knife

Academics ๐Ÿ“š Student Athlete Swapping Class after Add/Drop

1 Upvotes

Hi I have a question. I know add/drop ended on Thursday but Iโ€™ve been looking for a seat to open all week for an AMH class in person that I need in order to graduate in the Spring. Iโ€™m currently in an upper division class that I donโ€™t want to take or need and Iโ€™m wondering if I can fill out a form to swap that class with an AMH class that has 1 seat left.

I donโ€™t want to be financially responsible as I am on athletics scholarship and I also donโ€™t want a DR on my transcripts. I just changed my major this same week and met with an advisor on Wednesday so I only had 2 days to change my schedule. Is this possible and who should I contact? Thank you in advance.

Im an out of state student that will likely qualify for national merit finalist. Fiu offers a full tuition scholarship with housing. Is this limited to fall-spring semesters or will tuition and housing also be covered during the summer, assuming you are taking enough classes?

i signed up for fall recruitment and wanted to see if anyone on here is part of the panhellenic council/was or is also rushing. if ur also rushing hmu so we can be friends ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—. but i was curious on what to expect from recruitment? iโ€™m scared of it not going well because i really would love to find a place of belonging. of course partying is great and all but im also very interested in the sisterhood, philanthropy, and overall connection that comes with being in a sorority. i feel like a friendly and bubbly person but i can also be shy before i get comfortable so im a little nervous.
