Behind the Ryder Business Building is a pond that is shaped like a heart. At the opening of the FIU Modesto A. Maidique Campus in 1972, students began sitting along the pond with their “significant other”. Even then, students could be caught kissing there and spending time together. As time passed, more and more couples began to visit the area around the pond and it soon became known as the Kissing Pond because of its heart shape. The story of the pond and bridge is that any couple who kisses on the bridge will be together for life. Years later, couples that first kissed at the pond come back to tell their story. Today, the pond, the bridge, and the surrounding gazebos serve as a place for lovers to sit and enjoy each other's company. On occasion, you will see a couple kissing at the pond, hoping that its promise will be true for them too.
