I
was a transfer student from nyc coming to FAU during
fall 2002. I am the van weilder of college. but
in any case i went on the recommendation of a
person i was in contact with in florida. I hardly
did research , I just wanted to leave the commuter
school i was in(hunter College). Getting to FAU was fun
for me and i see a lot of other bashing
the school which they have their rights. I went for
the college experience. I understand the dorm wasnt great but
I was never in a dorm before so this was
awesome. I had my own room because my roomate from
upstate never made it over here. I paid out of
state and i m a poor dude. even with the
aid i was getting it was very tough to swallow
the bill. its always in the back of your head.
Its very sunny over here during the fall time i
went . imagine the summer. I had some good classes
and i was ready to focus in school. I was
doing Finance and boy i wish i did some research
. academically , florida schools suck. a degree from the
south dont mean nothing. and the account teach Venezia was
a jerk he enjoyed failing people. the other teachers were
pretty cool. Cheating does help . hey , you gotta
pass. Food sucks. Well its one dinning hall and its
soo small at the time i went. i hope they
have another one soon . it gets way too packed
during lunch and dinner hours. Tons of mosqitos so bring
some spray and dont eat too much banana like myself.
I didnt have a car and everyone leaves on the
weekend. So u should learn how to do things. I
was working with the mens basketball team. They suck and
the coach is gased up about himself and cant really
coach. The athletic department got a lezbo chic. jamie was
her name and man they on an ego trip. the
weight room for students sucked . but if you played
football or something you can use the oxley center i
think thats whats its called. They have been pumping money
to the football program because the head coach carry a
lil muster. its really nice . the football game was
cool to go to . free bus to and from
. free food and beer for tailgating. it was really
nice. but i just didnt like the extrotion of paying
for your meal and dorm or you cant live here.
oh yea When FAU beat UM in basketball it was
an awesome moment. A lot of the kids are broke.
dont listen to what they say that there rich .
floridas income is low so things are cheap . so
a nice car is like 10,000 . Vs. $30,000 in
nyc. most rich Boca kids go to UM and most
miami and Ft laud kids come to FAU cuz its
cheap. I really enjoyed my time down there from the
up and downs . I met many cool people
along the way especially people from really weird places. Caymen
island , white guy from bahamas, asian spanish guy, turkey,
lebonon,ethiopia, nigeria a former high school classmate , make that
2 that were from nyc of my school . weird.
You gotta go to events to keep things cool. they
threw some nice shows for the student body. Chapell ,
Noreaga, cam rom , Step shows. The beach pit where
they had carribean clubs were cool. jerk chicken was nice
so were roti's. A lot of light skin people not
too many black , but when their was , they
do know how to party and step. The carribean folks
were soo awesome and the girls were even more. If
you like dark skin girls wherever they from, your in
luck because they really are exotic looking compared to nyc
girls. a lot of nyc migrated family here as well
. there pretty..slutty! But the girls are fly at FAU
i must admitt. White girls in the south for some
reason got big booties. If your asian like me ,
they might be like 10 of them there ! ha
... its very low . its either your super nerdy
or super up there . I was the mild guy.
But I do recommend the beach . If you have
a bike bring it inside to your room or someone
is gonna take it for a nice ride. do ride
to the beach , its about 2-3 miles away by
bike. and you can ride down A1A and its one
lane so traffic is light. the beach houses are amazing
and you just built aspirations from seeing them. spanish river
is a plus. west palm is a beauty and there
is a trail behind the school for jogging near the
stream where there still might be a crocdile. also the
school water sucks! do not drink it . bathroom is
clean. sewing system... that is way cool . open on
up and it can lead a maze in the school
because this use to be an air base. its just
like an underground tunnel. If you dont like the food
your in luck , whole foods is across the street
but you still need a bike because its a long
walk! Water is 40 cents a GALLON! because drinking that
tap water is no good. dont think the beach looks
pretty the water to drink is well too. nyc has
it better! ha. I lived in Algonqin and it
was pretty ghetto and i survived. IRT is like the
5 star hotel but no one talks in there cuz
the doors is all closed . the ghetto ones are
still pretty cool.but i think theygot some new dorms since
i was there. If you go there education is second
its not a hard school unless ur in the wrong
major. the library was nice , it doesnt close until
4 am and opens back up 6 am ! amazing
. i loved it there . some how it was
my favorite place. most kids commute and you can tell
after a week or so. Try to get laid by
a commuter person than a dorm person , its much
cooler. having friends that cook is a plus. if you
live in the apartments its far out there! but i
heard things happen there all the time! LOL . RA's
are cool and I only went for one semester but
i loved every singles down and up minute of it
!
