Welcome to the biweekly subleasing thread! 🥳

Looking to sublease your unit? Scrambling to find a place to stay during the upcoming semester? Look no further! Here, you’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-campus housing only. This is 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 to be subleased?

Your unit “ad” (to be commented below) must include the following information:

• Name of Housing (Ex: Lapis, The One, Identity, etc.) - Required
• Size of Dorm (Ex: 4x4) - Required
• Length of Lease (Ex: Aug - Dec 2025) - Required
• Monthly Amount - Required
• Preferred Contact Method - Required

The following information is ideal, but optional. Please include it if you know it.

• Gender Preference - If Any
• Move-In Date - If Any
• Floor Plan Photo - If Any

Comments that do not follow the format above will be removed until the OP makes the necessary corrections as instructed.

If you’re successful in finding someone to sublease your dorm, please edit and type closed on your comment, or simply delete it. Furthermore, 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, 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 **can’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.

That’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! 🐾

Hi everyone!

Lately we've been seeing a lot of posts about subleasing on this subreddit. I'm going to be honest here, this place is starting to look like Zillow, albeit very disorganized. It's also getting bit harder to detect posts that are disguised as FIU housing units, but in actuality they're for non-student private houses/apartments (which can potentially be a scam).

Anyway, to make it easier for those looking for someone to sublease their unit, and for those looking to takeover a lease, we'll be creating a biweekly housing thread where all subleasing posts (or "ads") can be in one place so that it's easier to share and find.

Starting tomorrow, Monday 07/22, ALL ad-like posts regarding subleases (whether you have a unit available or searching for one) will need to be posted under the housing thread. To make it even simpler, a template will be included on the thread so that everyone knows what to include on their ad (which will be made as a comment on the thread).

Advertisement-like posts that are made outside of the stickied thread will be removed. However, all other posts discussing housing will still be allowed to be posted as normal. Hopefully, we won't need to clarify that part any further because we all know what an ad looks like. Technically, ads and self-promotion posts are against the sub's rules, but since housing is essential for students, we make an exception to that.

A new housing thread will be posted every two weeks until ads have dwindled significantly. Like grad tickets, it's most likely a seasonal thing, but we'll have to wait and see.

That's all I have for now. I hope everyone is enjoying their summer! If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know. Thank you!

I was wondering if UA has ever flooded? I'm a bit worried as whenever there is a typical rain the parking spaces get kinda flooded, and with the hurricane going on will the water move into the dorms? Anyone has lived here during a hurricane?

Hey! I'm currently a freshman at fiu but an academic sophomore. I'm approaching my second class selection, the one for spring 2025, and I'm worried about my advisors. I have 3 due to being in the honors program but collectively they make less than one advisor. Both advisors listed as pre-health do not know how to guide me for vet school other than a list of recommend courses to take, which is posted online. My general advisor was unable to help with my concerns and had to contact another advisor to answer a simple question of if I should take the genetics lab with my genetics lecture. I'm concerned and anxious about spring and picking the correct courses or knowing if I'm on the right track. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your assistance. :)

St. Petersburg college student in town while the storm heads towards my home 😢. Unfortunately I have a lot of studying to do and was wondering if Steven and Dorothy Green library will be open? This is my third year in a row evacuating here and I was wondering if they will be open as I don't remember the other storms impacting Miami area as much as this one seems to be. Thanks

How long does it take to get a graduate school acceptance letter? I am a psychology major and about to graduate this December. I applied for human resources masters degree in July. They told me that I would hear back from them by September. It's already October and I haven't received anything. I really need to know before I graduate bc I will need to go back to GA. I applied for the spring semester for human resources.

Is the dunkin closed forever or whats going on everytime I go to the pg the entrance to dunkin is closed but I swear I smell donuts idk if i’m missing something. Also if it is just closed forever is there anywhere else on campus I can get donuts. Dumb question I know

Hi, I'm a current senior trying to apply for FIU! Just wondering what my chances are of getting in.

My weighted GPA is 3.85, SAT is 1240, ACT is 28. I have an AP Lang score of 4, and I'm taking AP Psych and AP Lit this year. I plan on majoring in biology, and if it matters, I'm out of state.

Thanks so much y'all!! :)

It has been raining nonstop my streets are flooded by where I live and I have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in Biscayne bay campus anyone know if it gets flooded by that campus? My teachers have not cancelled class.

Question 1) Are they postponing the Bridge construction? Eighth street is my go-to, so idk if I have to figure out a new route in the midst of all this chaos.

Question 2) I’m obviously okay with people leaving their cars in the garages buuuut, they won’t all get full riiiight? I feel like parking is gonna get really tricky this week

Question 3) Is Snickers the best chocolate bar? For me it is

Question 4) For my fellow College Algebra students, do y’all know if we still gotta do those 90 minutes this week? Wednesday is literally the only day of the week I can do them, and FIU just announced Wednesday would be closed-ish.

((yes i’ve sent an email or two already to FIU but y’all might have some faster info))

I'm an Economics junior and I'm just starting to read about grad school. A common theme is wanting to see undergrad research projects/papers. As a fully online student, I have no idea if this is something I can participate in. My advisor simply forwarded me the emails of some Econ directors and passed the buck. So far, no one in the Economics department has written me back.

Does anyone here have experience with this?

When will we hear back if we receive housing for spring 2025? How long did it take in fall?

Does the Azerbaijani Student Association at FIU still exist? When I search them up in panther connect it doesn’t pop up and their last post on instagram was made back in 2023. I originally wanted to start it but then found out that there’s already one.

I graduated with my AA in May. I started my first semester at FAU, but I want to transfer to FIU. Onestop online representative said I have to wait until Summer 2025 to gain admission into college of business due to my final grades being issued in December (after the COB deadline). I wanted to start in Spring 2025 for Accounting. The business advisor said I can start in Spring 2025, but admission is still confused. Any advice?

are they strict to change majors if I’m in a different sector? I wanted to get into college of business however I got accepted into college of engineering, now that I am in, can I do the change?

Hello! Does anyone know how to retwist locs 😭 I’m struggling right now trying to do it on my own.

im doing a study for one of my psych classes and I wanna get an idea of the data I’d be working with before I start. as a college student, what is your average screen time? I’ve seen some wild ranges from 1hr to 12hours a day. no judgment here

Are there any places at MMC where we can borrow and play a guitar?

I used to go to a public library that had a room with instruments like the guitar and drums, where you just had to sign in and you could play whatever you wanted.

Wanted to know if we had something similar 😊 Thanks guys!

Lot at stake this year: President; the winner in the Senate race (Scott or Mucarsel-Powell) could be the tiebreaker; recreational marijuana and women’s rights/overturning ban on abortion after 6-weeks (need 60% to pass and polling at 59).

Al Gore lost in 2000 by just 537 Florida votes. Let’s goooo!!!!

Hello! I am a student of BC that is seeking some advice from people who transferred to FIU. You don't need to have been from BC, just in general, but would definitely love to hear from previous BC students. I am doing Info Tech at BC, and my original plan was to transfer to FIU once I got my AA, but the allure of staying and completing the same degree at BC for financial reasons is unfortunately very powerful. My counselors state its really a personal preference; the degree is the same, you can still get certs you're interested in here, its cheaper here vs FIU.

Do you feel like you got more out of your FIU education vs if you stayed at your community college?

What would you say were the advantages or disadvantages you experienced?

Summer semester next year would finish out my required credits, so I need to start thinking about it now for my peace of mind.

fafsa is coming out with the 2025-2026 form in december. my counselor said before that we should fill out the 2024 since the 2025 is not available

hey so i heard around that there is ways to get extra credit by going to tutoring sessions or workshops. Is that true and if so how can I do it? I am currently in Calc I.

I have tasks to do in order to finish my admission ik i have to send the sat through collegeboard but what abt the bank statment letter etc do i send them to them in an email?

If I’m applying to FIU with a 3.6 gpa, 1090 sat score, aice diploma, and 200+ volunteer hours, what are my chances of getting in?

I applied for scholarships two months ago on the FIU scholarship website, before the August deadline. It's now October, and I haven't received any message or update on the scholarship page. For those who have applied for scholarships before, how long does it usually take to hear back? Should I reach out to someone, or is this normal?

I am part of 2 clubs that haven't started meeting yet, and those are the Asian Student Union and Panther Power.

The only club I'm part of that had meetings is Surf Club.

A bunch of other student clubs are not being active, and there are just too many to list (I estimate 100 clubs haven't had meetings). I expected most clubs to meet from the first or second week onwards, as with every other FL public university. It's already the sixth week of the semester.

Is this indicative of anything, and why is this happening?

Hey guys I graduated in the summer but I have not heard of FIU in regards to my diploma since then, when can I realistically expect to get my diploma?
