Communications major here, but FAU definetly is a school to write about(especially the negative part) Ok heae let me start...

People: The people are snobby, disgusting, close-minded, haughty, clique-oriented, and rich arrogant people. The nice people also have some fakeness about them, and the people here know at least five people from their high school. The people dont really need to make friends because its mainly a commuter school(so mainly all the kids leave for the weekend) which sucks..

Area/Location: Around Boca Raton(if you locate the town in a map its in a very suburban part of town; typically old people live here so there is really no young feeling in the town. The town is also a rich area so if your poor good luck trying to fit in.

Faculty: Stupid, dumb, ignorant, and basically come from third world countries. I went to financial aid and they basically told me to go online. Not very friendly faculty members and most don't even speak English.

Class: Borring, easy, so much extra credit, and you really don't learn anything at FAU. The professors hand out freebies all the time, and people cheat all the time. You won't feel academically challenge here.

Demographics: White and Black. No diversity, and everyone hangs out with their kind of people. Nobody likes to make friends here. If Haiti is in Africa, than many people here really have no idea about culture or other parts of the world..

Work: Very Very Easy to find in Boca Raton. Most kids are rich so finding work here is very easy, because apparently these rich kids dont work.

Sports: Terrible. No tailgating or fun activities around here. There is a new stadium built right in the heart of FAU. But still school spirit is lacking and nobody really goes to the games because parking is terrible... Aghh and for parking....

Parking: Last but not least, Parking is HELL!!!! if your class starts at 8:00 a.m. make sure to come two hours early, thats right two hours early! beause by the time you make it to the parking lot you won't find any parking here..

Tickets: They give tickets all the time, and for the most absurd reasons. Make sure you come early to park so that you dont have to park by the grass. They don't mind handing out 30 dollar tickets.

Appearance of boys: Ugly, fat, and not goodlooking at all!( Most guys here all want sex, and they have no values or customs).Appearance of Girls: Slutty, rude, and mostly Boca whores who drive mercedes Benz and talk on their phones ALOT! Ow and don't forget the Black girls here, cause there's many!

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.
