The Claw & Growl discusses Access & Affordability, the Golden Scholar program and the different types of financial support students are eligible for. The Claw & Growl also discusses the difference between the protest that occurred in UC Berkley against conservative speaker Milo Yiannopoulos and the protest that occurred at FIU to make it a sanctuary campus, Beyonce’s twin announcement and more!

Barack Obama once said, “In the face of greater and greater global competition in a knowledge-based economy a great education is more important than ever. A higher education is the single best investment you can make in your future.”

But aside from its cost and admission requirements, what makes someone choose FIU? As any student knows, life is more than just going to class.
