I
appreciate the experience I had at FAU, though not so
much at first. Foremost, let me warn you that the
worst complaint sounded by all FAU students is the lack
of campus life. More than half of the student population
commutes and thus campus is dead after about 5 every
night. Also, the campus is small and pretty humble looking,
and the school spirit is always low.
Other than
that, FAU is a fair value-like others have said, you
get what you pay for. The best thing about the
school by far are the professors. In my experience they
make or break your satisfaction with the class and usually
the department as a whole. The professors in the English
dept are wonderful and wonderfully underfunded, as are most departments
that are not favored by the current dean, an advocate
for the communications dept, from which he came. (The cah
has tried to cut funding to the women's studies dept
twice.)
That is another pet peeve of mine when it
comes to this school; office politics. It would be nice
to see a more even distribution of funds, because we
can't all be nurses and accountants.
