``As a foreign prospective student, seeking a MS degree in Computer
Science, my decision to attend FIT was not a very informed
one. However, soon after classes began, I did realize that it was
actually a great decision. With its quality faculty members and modern
computing facilities, the Department of Computer Sciences at Florida
Tech offered a challenging environment to study different areas of
computer science and to get involved in a variety of research
projects. This program also offers rewarding career options to its
graduates due to the strong relationship of the faculty with the
industry. Overall, Florida Tech turned out to be a very good selection
for me.''

``When I look back at my life, I consider my choice to enroll at FIT
is a true blessing. I learned how to do research, as well as write
and publish technical papers.
My confidence and future would not be possible without the superb
support from CS department, its excellent professors, and the good
study environment Florida Tech has provided.
I also enjoyed campus life, which allowed me to develop
friendships with students from around the world, taste varied cultures,
enjoy fun new experiences, and contribute back to the surrounding Melbourne
area through community service projects.''

``I transfered from the University of Texas at Austin to
Florida Tech at Melbourne when I changed my major
from Operations Research to Computer Science.
Soon I felt comfortable because of nice faculty members who satisfied
my scholastic spirit.
My experience suggests prospective student who wants to study Computer
Science won't regret coming to Florida Tech.
You will learn more than just raw knowledge.''

``I came to Florida Tech as a foreign student. I soon learned that I was
able to develop my personal interests in Computer Science, not only
through the curricilumn, but also through the pursuit of my personal
interests in computer science with the aid of the very supportive
faculty.
After I graduated I established a successful software development
company in Melbourne Florida, where I enjoy the fruits of my
studies.''
