I feel I am learning a lot at FAU and that I am learning quickly. We have department advisors for the various fields of study to help us select our classes and ensure that we are only taking classes that are necessary for our major. I know first hand how important this is because I went to a different college for my fall term and ended up having to drop a class because I was never advised that an introduction to that course was necessary, although not required. At FAU, this is standard and it helps ensure that we do not waste our time or money. The classes are challenging, yet you know there is free lab help available should you need it. The professors are great at passing on their knowledge to us and they interact well with the students. The professors that I’ve had so far seem to really enjoy what they are doing and that makes for a better learning environment for us students.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
FAU is the perfect mix of learning and fun. We all have to be responsible for getting ourselves to class and absorb and retain the days lessons. When the classes are done, however, the fun begins. Dorm life is awesome and there’s plenty to do around here. The students are friendly and fun-loving. We all take care of each other and are a close-knit community. The professors seem to enjoy their work and are very helpful. The gym is free and open until late so even those of us who work can get our workouts in. The cafeteria services are great; the food is fresh and it’s open until about 10:30 pm for dinner, which means we can still get real food instead of cold, pre-packaged sandwiches or snacks from our dorms. We have our own little town on campus with many conveniences--yes, even a fast-food court for those who miss being back home. When we went to get out, though, the big city is just a street light away with hordes of activities and amenities, including some of the most beautiful beaches.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
A university education does not comes cheap, but FAU is well worth the money. It is a renown leader in many fields and students leave here well-prepared for their careers. Due to their top-quality education, FAU graduates are more likely to start earning top pay in their fields just out of college.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Bring late-night snacks and plenty to share--there are always friends around to keep you company. Bring a bike or other means of getting around campus, because it is large. In sunny Boca, you’ll get a work-out just getting to your classes.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
FAU is great for ambitious, self-motivated students who want to get the most out of their careers and life in general.
