My Experience at Terrazul Miami (700 SW 107th Ave): Overpriced and Poorly Managed
I wanted to share my experience living at Terrazul Miami in hopes that it might help others make an informed decision. While the building has potential, I’ve encountered several issues that have made my stay less than satisfactory.
Hidden Charges Everywhere
It feels like every little thing comes with an extra fee. From amenities to basic services, the additional costs add up quickly and aren’t always transparently communicated upfront.
Unconventional Apartment Designs
The layout of the apartments is quite puzzling. Certain design choices don’t make practical sense, making daily living somewhat inconvenient.
Parking Problems
The parking situation is frustrating. Not only is parking overpriced, but I’ve noticed that some people are parking inside the garage without paying any fees. This inconsistency is both unfair and irritating for those of us who are paying.
Management and Security Concerns
The management team has been less than helpful in addressing resident concerns. In one instance, I was directed by a security guard to park in a specific spot, only to almost have my car towed from that very location. Fortunately, I was able to stop the tow truck before it took my car. This negligence could have cost me significantly in towing fees and hassle.
Lease Challenges
I’m currently bound by a lease that would cost me $3,000 to break. While I wish I could move out immediately due to the ongoing issues, the financial penalty is too steep.
Final Thoughts
Living here has been a challenging experience. If you value peace and a hassle-free living environment, please don’t consider moving here. I hope the management will address these concerns for the sake of current and future residents. If you’re considering Terrazul Miami, please weigh these points carefully.
Hey guys (2x in one day ik) my professor cancelled class more than half of this semester, had the first exam online with lockdownbrowser and told us many times it would be the same for the second/final. Today he let us know that it will be in person which gives me only 6 days to prepare for an exam on 5 chapters and relearn everything from the first module 🥲 help. The entire class is panicking. I would be more prepared if I knew beforehand the exam would be in person but he literally threw it on us TODAY during our ZOOM class when our class is normally in person. We’ve only had about 5 classes in person out of like 14 or 15 sessions btw.
Hello!
If I have on-campus housing for the 2025(fall)–2026(spring) academic year, but I don't know if I'll be transferring for either of those two semesters (I'll find out in summer or fall 2025), would I get a refund for the time I won't be at FIU?
I'd appreciate if anyone knows.

Hi everyone, I live in one of the apartment buildings and haven’t had running water going on 3 days now. i can’t even take a normal shower. The building says it’s because of the water break and I don’t believe that. Anyone else going through this same problem?

I’m so confused about the Florida Civic Literacy Exam (FCLE).
• Do I need to enroll in a course to take it? I saw something about CIV 2222 is that required what even is that?
• Can I take it at home, or do I have to go to a testing center?
• Do I need to pay for it, or is it free?
• Also, what did y’all use to study for it? Any resources or tips?
I have no clue where to start, so any advice would be awesome.
So im applying for the spring term as a transfer and i saw this pop up in my to do list today but i already did my fasfa and got an email a few days back from fiu that they received my 2024-2025 fasfa so im not too sure what to do here unless there's a number i can call?
Is college really worth it? I’m having doubts about it. I’ve seen some people say it’s a waste of 4 years of your life. I major in Graphic Design and I want to make stories and make characters for games.
Hi yall I live in lapis and have been parking in pg5 for the past couple of months but I recently got an early morning job and with the construction the walk is a pain. Is it true that they don’t tow on the first floor?
Has anybody ever dealt with Macbook repairs in Miami? My Macbook Pro screen cracked on the left side which now has a black crack. I’m seeing they charge around $500-800 to replace the screen. Is this a typical price?
Should I go to the Apple store or does anyone know of another reputable place that does repairs?
I recently decided to return to school for my MBA (online). What are the chances to max out the scholarship opportunities? Any advice on these recent graduates?
I've got most of my classes for the spring there but i've never been to that building before and i can't find any parking garages near it. I'm also not sure if there's parking garages/spaces specifically only for students living on campus (which i don't) cause i remember once using one of the lots near SHC close to the dorm buildings but i got charged and apparently i wasn't...supposed to be parked there...? Idk i feel a bit dumb about all this and i just wanna make sure. Pls someone lmk what i can do. 🙏🏻
Can anyone on here help me get involved with research at FIU. Not sure how many pre-med there are but id really like to get involved during the summer. I am dedicated to my studies and would love to participate in research that is medical/genetic based. Please let me know and who I should get in contact with! If it is a requirement, I am also in the honors college.

I’m interested in volunteering and heard you get paid. Do you get paid per hour?
Hi! I've recently applied to FIU for fall 2025 as an international student.
The FIU website states that the SAT score would take the place of english proficiency and I donot need to send IELTS or TOEFEL for admission, but even after 1 month the application portal still asks for TOEFEL or IELTS score. I have emailed them several times about this but no reply.
Does anyone have any solution?
Hello guys basically I have gpa of 3 and gonna take SAT soon, (my average predicted grade is 1200~) is there any way i can improve to increase the chances for me to get accepted? Any advice will be taken, thanks. (P.S im a senior)
I have received two refunds in the past week when I believed all refunds took place at the beginning of the semester, does anyone know why this would be? Thank you!
Guys please. No one wants to see that. If you are able to do so please just flush and make sure you aren't leaving a spooky dookie, pee, or blood in the stalls 😭 Most of them auto flush, it'll flush multiple times before you even finish. Sometimes it's harder to have it NOT flush. No one wants to get flashbanged by the sight of an unflushed toilet.
