Throughout high school your teachers always tell you that the give you so much work and try to grade hardly, because college you are all on your own and your professors will not care about you. At Florida Atlantic University I have found the complete opposite of this to be true. This university has made it possible for me to learn so much more than I though I could have, and provided me with many resources on furthering my learning and giving me help when I need it. My professors all are there when I need help during office hours, and the school provides many SI sessions and other tutor sessions completely free that help me in very many ways.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
Many universities only offer activities such as football games and such on the weekens, and for some school you'll get lucky if you're one of the few who gets a student ticket for the game. But, this univeristy has offered so many free events to the students almost everyday of the week that I am always finding something to do. They also offer free admission to all home games, and free transportation while the building of the new stadium is in process. (Which is going to be awesome). There are tons of clubs to join, the gym is free, there's a pool to lounge in, and tons of other ways to connect and make friends here.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
In my opinion, I thought my first year of college was going to rob me of my money. But, after seeing how many scholarship oppurtunities and grants that the school offered, it gave great relief. Although I still had to take out student loans, if you just put in the effort and apply for as many scholarships as you can, you're bound to get at least one. Since this school is also public, it's a little cheaper than a lot of other schools.
