Fau is by far the worst school in the state of Florida. The faculty and department are very condescending and rude. The math department is by far the worst people to deal with. I don't know what their problem is, maybe they are all going through menopause but they should get it over with and do their job. The unwillingness to cooperate and the snide/snarky responses i've received from them especially from their secretaries is very unprofessional. If you're trying to add a class, you have better luck winning the lottery. They have a secretary name Paula Bloch who guards that stamp like a fat kid licks his plate of cake clean. Do yourself a favor and take your tuition elsewhere.

Its truly sad how FAU holds students potential back. When a 70% is considered an A in most physics and chemistry classes, it should raise a red flag. I plan on going into medical school, and my education at FAU is not helping. Most of people I know get A's and could not tell you what the course was about. To top it all off, I worked on a lab for years, and we never had any money, the professors could barely sponsor grad students due to lack of money, and then they build a stadium to our horrible football team! Now I was forced to go to their graduate program, because my husband won't graduate until next year, and we have a choice of 3 graduate classes TOTAL... take your pick!! Its really really sad. Avoid this school if you can. I have friends who goes to UCF, and UF and they have so many amazing classes to choose from, and are getting a real education.

This university is absolutely ridiculous. In and of itself, the fact that they feel the need to build a new football field as opposed to offering an adequate amount of summer courses is ridiculous. This is a university with a mediocre football team, and majority of students would like to simply obtain their degree and move on. No one who works at the school talks to each other consistently, making students feel as if they are always missing a vital piece of information. During my experience at FAU there were multiple times that I sent emails to our department head that went unanswered. The only person who would answer my questions consistently was my adviser, and her office hours were ONE day a week for a 5 hour window. It was incredibly hard to get answers from anyone at FAU.
