Review of Palm Beach Atlantic University

from Howey IN The Hills, FL

Describe your college in three sentences.

This school has the most beautiful campus I have ever seen. It is obvious the school takes pride in everything they own - the dorms, the food, the class rooms, and the administration. On top of all of this, you are not a number at this school; all of the teachers, and admissions counselors treats every student and ever prospective student like they will be attending and that this school is the right school for them.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

It is a Christian school, meaning there are morals and rules the school requires you to follow: chapel hours, community service, and rules about public display of affection such as lights in a room must be on and there are curfews. If you can't handle the rules, then don't come.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

Because of the size of the classrooms, and the ratio being like 12:1 or 14:1, it creates a more one-on-one experience and the teacher can challenge students individually. So, even if the material being studied isn't rigorous, the teachers will challenge each student to a different capacity that they can handle.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms are definitely what you pay for is what you get. The school costs about $34,000/year without any grants or scholarships but that money is being put to good use because even the freshman dorms are nicer than any other dorms I've seen.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

They just rebuilt the cafeteria a few years ago creating a cafe feel to it and in my opinion, it is over the top nice. There is a huge salad bar, an american grill, your healthy foods, and like a grill in the center where a cook stands there and you give him food you want him to cook and he stands there and cooks whatever you like. On top of all of this, there is a Chick-fil-a on campus! Welcome to the South!!

What’s there to do for fun at your college?

PBA is located in the center of an extremely expensive shopping plaza- CityPlace. There is the beach less than a mile from the college, shopping surrounding the college, literally.
