Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For most students, FAU was not their first-choice school. While it is a large school, most students are commuters, and it seems as though almost anyone can be accepted. However, once students arrive on campus, they realize that there are many activities and events to get involved with and that maybe their experience will not be so bad after all.

FAU is an up-and-coming school and is growing in students and facilities every year. However, most students do not plan to attend for their entire college career. Many are just using FAU to get their feet on the ground and to get general education classes out of the way. A huge percent of the student population transfers after two years to a larger, more college-town type of school.

Off-Campus Dining

Off campus you have a variety just depend on what you want and what your looking to pay at the time. Student discounts are never much if anything at all. Plenty around to choose from and more dining options always welcomed.
