Unfortunately, I have found the environment to be very business and money oriented, with little regard for the students' needs. If I had the opportunity to choose again, I would opt for another university. Additionally, I have encountered instances where the staff's attitude was quite unpleasant, and when problems arose, they provided no assistance or support. This has been very disappointing.

Having closely monitored the trajectory of Florida Atlantic University through the lenses of various friends and local professionals, it is clear that the Boca Raton campus has transformed into a dynamic epicenter for innovation and upward mobility. The prevailing sentiment in my social circles suggests that FAU offers a sophisticated blend of high-level research and a supportive, student-centric culture that is rare for an institution of its size. I frequently hear from acquaintances about the university’s exceptional ability to foster real-world connections, particularly within the business and engineering sectors, ensuring that the transition from the classroom to the Florida job market is both seamless and rewarding. It is heartening to hear firsthand accounts of how the faculty at 777 Glades Road balances academic rigor with a genuine accessibility that makes diverse learners feel empowered to reach their full potential. Based on the many positive testimonials I’ve encountered, there is a profound respect for the way the university serves as a cultural and intellectual anchor for the entire region while steadily climbing the national rankings. One cannot help but be impressed by the university's forward-thinking approach to specialized fields like oceanography and nursing, which many in my network cite as being truly world-class. Ultimately, the consistent feedback from those I trust confirms that FAU is a premier destination for anyone seeking a modern, transformative education that stays deeply attuned to the demands of the 21st century.

I didn't go to FAU, I drove by FAU. My memory's being a student.There are all good. Professional educators, excellent professors, and core student body that's good. A lot of changed over to years including now, a football stadium. I did not think they needed a football stadium, but it seems to attract another set of people willing to spend money there.

Absolute atrocity of a university. From beginning to end. Not to mention, the process of scheduling an academic advising appointment on Navigate 360 hasn’t worked for years. In general, being a student here has been a frustrating experience. There are not enough professors to teach classes leading to extremely tight schedules offering no flexibility whatsoever. I have had to endure 12 hour days at this uni because of it. On top of having a shortage of professors, a lot of the professors can barely teach. I’ve had professors that seem genuinely confused by what they’re teaching. I’ve had instances where they’ve attempted to teach and explain examples only to look at the solutions and realise they were wrong. Then, going back and reading in an attempt to understand what he’s already supposed to know. I understand making mistakes every now and then, but it was too frequent to justify. Another issue amongst these professors is the habitual use of outdated material (2005-2010), especially in a field that is rapidly growing and changing. There’s so much more I would like to say regarding the professors but I need to address and voice some of my other concerns too. Parking situation is terrible, filthy restrooms in every building (broken toilets, faucets, no soap), some of the classes themselves are disgustingly muggy and warm. As a student here, I feel as if a lot of the funding doesn’t go towards fixing the root problems. Maybe it does but there have been no apparent improvements to the quality of teaching here. At the end of the day, that’s what I’m here for. On another note, I would like to commend the few well-knowledged professors at this institution. There’s nothing more rewarding than having a professor who truly knows how to teach. One that has a well-structured, well planned out class with up-to-date information. One that challenges you and ensures the future success of each hard-working student. I am highly grateful for professors who are passionate about their jobs and truly know how to teach, and also want to teach. Overall, I feel failed by this university. Maybe it’s simply an issue with my field of study. There’s a plethora of issues that I didn’t even address. I sincerely don’t recommend studying here. This borderline feels like a scam (I wish I was being dramatic). Do your research and choose wisely, maybe it’s like I stated above, “simply an issue with my field of study.” Back when I was younger, I was reading the reviews on here and saw the mention of “FAU means - find another university.” I disregarded it believing it was dramatised; however, I soon realised how accurate that statement stood to be.
