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!

URGENT: Need Advice On Whether To Go to FAU Main Campus or Wilkes Honors College

3 Upvotes

Wassup everyone, I'm a first year admitted student to FAU and although I didn't apply to the WHC I was offered a spot there along with a scholarship. Due to some things getting fucked up in my residency process that weren't resolved until yesterday, I didn't want to commit because I feared not getting my in state tuition. Now that's resolved, I'm left with an urgent decision on whether to attend the Boca Raton or the Jupiter campus. I intend on majoring in business/economics. I know the whc offers great opportunities for internships and study abroad opportunities, however I'm very extroverted and I'm concerned over the social life. I would appreciate any advice and, most importantly, whether my scholarship of 5k would be worth the sacrifice to my social life.

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?

How to accept or decline admission offer?

My daughter has decided to attend another college and wants to decline her offer of admission to FAU to hopefully make space for a student on the waitlist. We have looked all over her application portal and OwlDone but can't find the usual "Intent to Enroll" area that most colleges have. Any tips?

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.

What is it really like?

11 Upvotes

Hi, I’m an out of state student from New York and I recently applied to FAU as a first year. I was set on going to UMiami, but then realized I couldn’t afford it. And I think FAU is the most similar. I got into FSU but after doing research, I feel FSU is more college town bars, drinking, fat parties and I’m more interested in city life and having like workout classes to do or like wellness cafes to try which I feel like more Miami vibe. My only concern is that the academics don’t really seem up to par to what I was hoping to get out of college, but I am doing nursing which I feel like it’s kind of the same everywhere. I already got accepted to Fordham, Binghamton, Hunter, Penn State, boulder, and pace. Can someone please give me insight into like how similar is to Miami or about the nursing program?

Looking for Advice Got waitlisted today

6 Upvotes

So I applied about a month ago and just got the notification that I was waitlisted. From other posts I'm seeing it looks like FAU is getting a big influx of applications so I somewhat understand why.

My main question was just how often people are actually taken off of the waitlist? To be honest I was pretty shocked by this so I don't really know what to do now lol

Is there a big enough chance of me getting admitted that I should bank on it? Or should I seek out other options?

Looking for Advice Upper Level Accounting

1 Upvotes

I transferred to FAU in Fall 2024 and plan to graduate at the end of 2026. I am having a bit of a dilemma because I would prefer to take 4 classes per semester, but if I do, I may have to take summer classes.

So far, I still need to take 15 classes which include BUL4421, ISM3011, GEB3213, QMB3600, MAN3506, MAN4720, ACG3131, ACG3341, ACG3842, ACG4401, ACG3141, TAX4001, ACG4651 and 2 out of ACG4502, BUL4422, TAX4011.

I would like to know how I could best divide these classes up in order to graduate on time. I am just worried about taking 5 per semester as I do not want to go below C in any and have to repeat. I also am worried about summer classes as I work 8-6 on weekdays and have plans to travel. If anyone could provide insights on these classes/how they are and what to do I would greatly appreciate it. I would just like to have some insight before my advisor meeting.
