Most of the buildings are easy to get to when it is raining.

Diversity

I went to the track to juggle a soccer ball last night. When I got there, two white guys were warming up, but I paid little attention to them. After about forty-five minutes of juggling, it seemed that people of every race and nation had spilled onto the turf. The first kid I talked to told me his name was Jerry, but that wasn't his real name. He moved here from Colombia but he couldn't take the butchery any longer. The next guy I met came to Florida from Eritrea: a country I know nothing more about than its location on a map. There were many other diverse people playing soccer whose ethnicity I could only guess because I was hungry so I had to leave. My roomates girlfriend was born in Jamaica for Pete's sake. The majority at FAU is white, but we have a hearty mix of people on our campus. I love it.

3 Campus Reviews

In Boca there are some dark spots that school can better illuminate, but in the 4 years I lived on campus I almost always felt safe, as long as one uses the buddy system you should never have a problem. I heard of some issues, but it usually was late at night and they usually traveled alone. Keep doors locked because I did get my laptop stolen once. The campus is beautiful in the day and at night and I had a lot of fun.

Davie campus is a quiet campus that is really pretty and never felt uncomfortable.

Downtown campus is pretty safe too security is always available and I haven't had any issues with the downtown campus.
