Florida Atlantic University Reviews

I had a wonderful and awesome time at FAU. I was able to conduct a research during my senior year which turn me into the wonderful person that I am today. The program was not only rigorous but there were professors that I could rely on for great feedback. My professors were there fore me and they helped me all the way. Today, I stay in contact with most them and I love it!

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) is the most diverse university in the state of Florida. I come from a moderately diverse background so being exposed to new cultures and different perspectives was quite the thrill. I was heavily involved in many facets of the university. The Greek community at FAU had a fundamental impact on my collegiate journey and network connections. I have developed a passion for building authentic relationships, and working with others to motivate and inspire other students. I was able to experience studying abroad, broadening my public speaking skills, and secured several internships through the resources provided within the Career Development Center. The College of Business offers several scholarships for students combined with a well-rounded business curriculum. Three out of the four years I attended FAU, I won a college of business scholarship. I have had a few frustrating encounters with advisors. I recommend to find an advisor that is informative, helpful, and understanding of your collegiate goals. Further a relationship with this advisor and request to meet with the advisor at least one a semester to stay consistent and on track to graduate. Every university has its pros and cons. I can honestly say, Florida Atlantic University gave me the best four years of my life because of their value in impacting students, diversity, and public service. I feel confident as a graduate ready to contribute my creative talents and profound skill set to the professional work force because of my time at this university.

Florida Atlantic University (FAU) introduced me into college life, provided guidance in my career, and showed tremendous support in my pursuit for a degree in Social Work. Their extremely diverse and welcoming campus will open your eyes to new perspectives and ideals all while making you feel at home. No matter what your major is, you will always be able to find help when needed. FAU's cares about its students, encouraging them to have healthy lifestyles and providing opportunities to unravel from the stress of college life. I was a transfer student who accepted their Bachelor's after two years and, because of the teachers and school's support, will be receiving my Master's degree in one. I hope you check it out!

I graduated from Florida Atlantic University in December 2016 with a Bachelor of Social Work. I started FAU's Advanced Standing MSW program in May. I believe FAU's BSW program prepared me for generalist practice in the world of Social Work. Since I would like to work as a substance abuse counselor, I am now pursuing a Master's degree. From my experience over the last year and a half, FAU has an excellent program. The faculty is fantastic and genuinely cares. They are very willing to help and want students to succeed. There will always be a few who don't want to do the work and complain about everything, but if you work hard and genuinely want to learn, you will have a great experience. I believe the curriculum will give students what they need for generalist practice. I would highly recommend FAU to anyone who wants to become a social worker. One of my former professors is now leading the school of social work. She has a tremendous amount of energy and is working hard to push the program to the next level, not to mention the school was recently named the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work after receiving a generous donation of $7 million dollars. Besides having excellent professors, my advisors were also very helpful in making sure I was taking the right courses to graduate on time. The field placement my last semester was challenging and gave me valuable hands-on case management experience. Every effort is made to find students field placements that are a good fit. Since FAU is a state school, tuition is reasonable and won't set you back like a private school, plus I believe you will get a better education at FAU.

Absolutely the most unbelievably horrible admission's experience ever. Computer registration process is also bad. Undergraduate professors are all different quality and some could care less. The FAU administration should be replaced. Almost no merit aid so most middle class family pay full cost! You can get a better education at a lower price at almost any other college..

I graduated in 2013 from Florida Atlantic University with a BAC in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I completed one year of a masters program at FaU in clinical mental health counseling where I worked as a graduate assistant at the office for students with disabilities. I feel this experience helped prepare me for the workforce, opened my eyes to cultural sensitivity in the work place, was a very rewarding opportunity, and helped me network with professionals in the field.

Attended Florida Atlantic University and majored with a Bachelor of Science in Geography from August 2013 to May 2017. Received a Bachelor's of Science Degree in Geography and a certificate in GIS. I am going to continue studying in Florida Atlantic University and receive a Masters Degree in Geosciences, with a focus on Environmental Science and Geology.

The Exercise Science program was super awesome!! i enjoyed learning about the curriculum and the teachers were very knowledgeable and made learning fun! The classes were a good size and made it easier to have one on one time with a teacher. I learned a lot

Florida Atlantic University is a great place to earn your degree. The faculty is knowledgeable, accessible and always willing to help you succeed. FAU also provides many resources such as the career center, tutoring and a writing center that are free of charge. I am from a different part of the Florida and what first attracted me to FAU was the wide array of undergraduate programs that are offered, from biology to studio art to nursing. Also, the location cannot be better-out of the hustle and bustle of South Florida but within an hour of Miami, West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Choose FAU! Go Owls!
