FAMU received an Overall Niche Grade of an A-, topping Spelman (No. 2) and Howard’s B+ score (No.3) . Niche, which was founded in 2002.
In addition, the university’s extended report card on the Niche site showed an A for student life and campus food, a B for diversity and a B+ for athletics and professors.
Niche reviews about FAMU on the site from a current graduate student stated that the university’s instructors are “very attentive to student needs and offer assistance when requested.”
