I am an out of state student and I HATE FDU.  I came to FDU not because i wanted to or even because of the financial aid package (Although it was a generous 30,000).  I came because my parents wanted to me to be “close” to new york.  As soon as I stepped on campus everyone already knew one another and were very clique-y.

I didn't know my roommate before move in day because the school gave me wrong information from her (old email address and old phone number) and they even spelled her name wrong so i could not add her on facebook and talk to her. 

Also, this school gives a feeling of being trapped.  It is hard to get off campus and difficult to invite people in.  Public safety doesn't care about the students.  they care more about giving parking tickets than giving FDU students a sense of security.  They let anyone on campus and they will not escort you anywhere.  There are no panic buttons in case you feel unsafe.  Several classes let out at 8PM and Public Safety will not escort you to your dorm room if you feel unsafe. 

The people are nice enough but no one really socializes around campus.  It is dry on the weekends because everyone goes home.  Being a few hundred miles away from home, i cannot go home every weekend like the other students here.  So I am stuck in my dorm room eating pop tarts and watching bad TV. 

Oh yes, the food.  i say i sit in my dorm room eating pop tarts because that is all there is to eat around the school.  this school serves the same foods every day.  a “wok it up” station, a sub station, and pasta, mashed potatoes and hot dogs and hamburgers every day.  All of which are disgusting.  Although i am not a vegetarian the veggie station has the same thing every day.  However, the salad bar is usually pretty good.  But come on, no college kid wants to eat only salad every day for a year.  when i swipe in, i usually wish i hadn't and sometimes i just waste food and end up eating popcorn or ramen in my dorm room.

The schoolwork is really why we come to school, right?  Well the work is not college level.  I have had harder work in sophomore year of high school.  I feel like i am not learning anything.  I also feel as though i am wasting my time and money coming to this school.

Overall, i really dislike this school and i am not even going to finish off the semester.  I am the unhappiest i have ever been at this school.  I never thought college could ever be this boring or frustrating.  I'm gone, if you can get into another school even if it is more expensive, go there.  DON'T GO TO FDU.  its a scam and really disappointing.
