Christopher

Florida Atlantic University always has professors that email you back in a timely fashin. I never have to worry about communicating with any of my professors.

Fabienne

The professors are amazing.

Keeli

I often bring up that I admire the small class sizes and the unique learning opportunities that come hand-in-hand with it. For example, I enjoy having a more personable relationship with my professors. I have experienced benefits when some professors got to know me, my interests and my goals along with each other classmate. I often times have witnessed professors adapt teaching strategies and assignments based on the way the smaller group interacted so openly with each other in discussions. I also didn't mind being pushed harder on assignments because my professor knew my capabilities.

John

The campus is amazing. It is absolutely beautiful and incredibly close to one of the most gorgeous beaches I have ever seen.

Michael

Everyone holds the door open for you at FAU, and I mean that literally. In addition, the campus itself is physically beautiful and spacious. To be perfectly honest, I don't like to "brag" about FAU. To brag about FAU would make me feel pompous and entitled, and perhaps the friend would feel that I'm being arrogant about my enrollment at this University. I don't take any pride in putting friends down, intentional or unintentional, through bragging about my own circumstances. Hence, I avoid bragging about my position at FAU.

Vivian

I brag about the variety of clubs my school has. I found several clubs that I have interest in like archery, jewelry making, and anime club.

Deneille

I brag most about the location and weather at FAU; There is never a dull moment when you live in summertime all year 'round!

Kasima

It's is really big with a majority of classes to choose from and they have popular restuarant branches in the food court. There are a bunch of things to do every day and the people working in the school are super friendly. There are different languages and courses that are sure to hold the interest of anyone that attends and students from other schools come to visit all the time. Also the library is great and the hours are fit for any student's busy schedule.

Eshita

The FAU campus is beautiful and the people are very friendly.

Alexis

I usually brag to my friends about how diverse FAU is. It's great to indulge in the various cultures presented on campus, I really lucked out! I also like to brag about how close it is to home. I get the whole 'college experience' yet if need be, I can easily go back home (30 minutes away). FAU is very welcoming in the sense that its so multicultural, no one feels alone.

Laura

I learned alot and was able to work full time and still go to school at night.

Andrea

The clasroom don't make you feel like a number. There is and actual sense of a one on one environment.

Kelesa

When I dicuss my university with friends who do not attend FAU, I inform them that the university isn't mainly about the beautiful beaches that are close by or the parties/events that are offered but it is more about the rich diversity that you see on campus. The most important and exciting fact about FAU is the various shool organizations that the school provides. It does not matter if you commute or live on campus, there is something fun for everyone that fits schedules and builds a better foundation for the school and the students.

Leslie

I could finish it in 3 years instead of 4, we had a few amazing professors Gina Carreno and Jamie Price

Elizabeth

It's great to be a sports fan here. We have a very young yet successful football team. It may not look substantial compared to the larger schools in Florida, but it is the most successful program of its age. Also, many people are not aware of this, but we have a fantastic hockey team that is talented and fun to watch. Our coach is a former NHL player and I cannot describe how fun it is to watch them play.

Were only five minutes from the beach and have great weather year-round. There a lot of activities both school-related and non-school related. The atmosphere and personality of the school is very welcoming and friendly. We also have a wide range of colleges and programs to study here. We are in close distance to many big cities and attractions. We also some really cool (and harmless) wildlife on campus that you pass on your way to class and can be kinda cool to look at.

Ashley

As a commuter student, being on a campus with unfamilar people can be daunting. However, students from all over the world are able to share a common past time; going to the beach. FAU's proximity to the beach and diverse student body have truly made my freshman year memorable.

Lester

My professors are mostly progressive and welcome my participation as an out gay man who is married to my husband, even though marriage is not officially recognized in any capacity in Florida yet. They teach the students to be open and accepting of diversity and to challenge traditional thinking, even though the board of directors of Florida Atlantic University are some of the most conservative people in Florida.

If your looking to go to school in a friendly and nurturing environment, then my school is one to definitely consider.
