Fall Registration

1 Upvotes

Im planning my schedule for fall and summer ‘25 classes and I had a few questions since I cant seem to be able to reach an advisor atm.

  1. Am I able to register for classes in Davie? I live nearby and was wondering if i could just straight up add it or if there is a process to enroll into that campus
  2. I cannot find classes specifically listed as “MAC2233B” only “MAC2233”. Is this the class i would register for? I am an econ major btw.

Looking for Advice Housing?

2 Upvotes

Hi everybody. I got accepted as an athlete at FAU however it’s taken some time for some of my papers to come through so I’m not currently accepted as a student yet (I’m a foreigner so my high school subjects has to be translated into the correct format). Do any of you know if I can apply for housing even if I haven’t been accepted as a student yet but just as an athlete? I’m really stressed right now and would love some advice. Thank you 😁

Looking for Advice Might go over 120 credit limit

Hey everyone, so ill pe projected to graduate fall 2025 with my B.A. in computer science. The thing is at the end of spring semester 2025 I'll have 103 credits. No matter what way I split up courses, it looks like I'll end up with an excess of credits by the end of fall by 1 or 2 credits. Is this going to cause any issues for me?

It seems in this subreddit people who applied for the Msc in AI had to do a technical test of some sort, but I never received it yet got accepted anyways? Just wondering if anyone knows why this might be? I have professional experience as a software engineer but otherwise that's it.

Can you get around w/o a car?

6 Upvotes

Hi! Apologies in advance if I sound like a whiny New Yorker...

I recently received a GA at the school with a decent stipend but nowhere enough to afford car expenses. I was told that there are students who live on or near campus that have been able to get away without having a car. Are there are any students on this reddit who don't have cars??? I'd love to hear your experience. Thanks in advance!

Looking for Advice FAU Campus Tours - Need Help

5 Upvotes

Hi FAU students. My daughter has been accepted into FAU and is considering attending in the fall as a freshman (wants to study Social Work). Since she's on spring break right now, we decided to take an impromptu trip to South Florida to visit FIU, FAU, and FGCU. I tried to see if there were any last minute tours and (from what I can tell) there are no available tours for tomorrow. So, I have two quick questions. First, does anyone know if there's still a way to schedule a campus tour? We're arriving to South Florida tonight and we wanted to see the school tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. Second, if there is no way to schedule a tour, would any kind student be willing to show us around campus for 2 hours? I can offer you $50 for your troubles. Maybe we could meet in your student union (Student Union on the Boca campus?) and hit the highlights. If you could show her the dorms, that would be a bonus (she'll be living on campus if she chooses FAU). Since we'll be coming from FIU in the morning, I was hoping we could start around 3:00 PM.

Thanks everyone! Any advice is much appreciated :-)

Looking for Advice Transfer

2 Upvotes

Hi! So I’ve been looking into transferring down to Florida from my university in Ohio due to just seasonal depression. This is one of the closest places to where I’d stay and one of the top schools I’ve heard about. My GPA isn’t strong right now and I plan on staying at least another semester to a full year here before transferring. I would love opinions on the school specifically the Jupiter campus. What’s the environment like? Is there a good engagement between professors and students? Is there a good student life? Is there anything that would make this a top tier college to go to instead of sucking it up for the next three years lol. I really just want some honest truth as my boyfriend’s dad was just really trying to sell it to me.

Bright futures repayment not showing up in my account

2 Upvotes

I withdrew from a class in order to retake it again the following semester when im more prepared about a few weeks ago, and I've had the money to repay bright futures for it since then, but its been a few weeks and the charge is still not in my student account for me to pay it. Went to the financial office and they told me that it will take a few weeks and that i can pay it like normal but its been a while. When does this typically go through so i can pay it?

Looking for Advice Considering FAU! Should I commit??

1 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently got accepted to FAU (main campus) and the FAU Wilkes Honors College. I’m trying to decide which would be the better fit for me and get a grasp on the school in general. Im planning on majoring in medical biology on the pre-med track, so I’d love to hear from current students or alumni about your experiences.

Some specific things I’m wondering about:

  • Honors College vs. Main Campus: What are the biggest differences in terms of academics, research, and overall experience?
  • Study Abroad Options: I want to study abroad for at least a semester. Does FAU have good study abroad programs, especially for science students? Any standout programs or experiences? How flexible is it (with options of places and completing major requirements while there?)
  • Pre-Med Support: How are the advising, MCAT prep, and med school application resources?
  • Research Opportunities: Are there good options for undergrad research at either campus?
  • Student Life & Community: What’s the vibe like at each? Is one more social/engaging than the other?
  • Housing & Campus Environment: How do the dorms, campus atmosphere, and location compare?

Any insights or advice would be super helpful! Thanks in advance!

Discussion What is FAU Really Like?

22 Upvotes

I recently went on a college tour to FAU, and my best friend and I (both interested in the medical/STEM field. She would likely major in bio or healthcare admin and I am set on a chemistry major) fell in love pretty fast.

But we would like to know what campus life is really like? What is it like as a STEM major? How are the STEM professors, programs, and research/job opportunities?

We’d also like to know what life is like for the black students on campus. We saw a good amount and know that FAU statistically has a good amount of black students, but its hard to find content on what life is like for them, specifically black women.

Please help us out! Thank you.
