Florida Atlantic University values underachievement above all else. The departments ask the bare minimum from their students and faculty required for accreditation. Classes are geared towards teaching students how get low-level jobs, rather than teaching the underlying philosophies of the subjects necessary for fully understanding them. Engineering classes have students building mouse trap cars, bridges out of rolled-up newspaper, and balsa wood towers- the same juvenile activities I did in middle school. Many students are completely illiterate, and the composition classes and other writing classes don't care about this- they just give a passing grade to anyone who turns anything in. Students are more concerned with whining about there being no space to park their cars than improving the scholastic quality of the university. The school practices affirmative action in its admissions procedures; accepting more students belonging to demographic groups that historically exhibit poor academic performance is completely stupid when the institution is already so uncompetitive. Grading is extremely lenient. Professors routinely hand out "A"s to students who understand only half of the curriculum. Students who graduate from Florida Atlantic University have no hope of competing with students who graduate from universities dedicated to academic rigor.

Awesome school!!! Professors are great, girls are tan and gorgeous, the Greeks rock, football team kicks ass (back to back bowl wins!), beautiful beach 2 minutes away, extremely safe town, plenty of bars (Irishmen, The Lodge, Murphy's, Scoop, Wishing Well, The Lion and the Eagle), the events are a lot of fun (Foam Party video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASAFCNKugGY) and I could go on.

GO TO FAU! GO OWLS!
