Florida Atlantic University Top Questions

The most frustrating element I have found as a student of Florida Atlantic University is the lack of communication among faculty, and the difficulty one may find trying to find simple answers about the campus, or to whom to talk to in certain situations. I have found the staff to be generally unhelpful, in almost all ways. As a freshman in my first semester, I found myself very lost in situations and in need of communications to certain people. As a first generation college student, I felt hopeless at times.

The most frustrating thing is parking. There are actually not enough parking spots to fit all of the FAU student population because of our recent growth spurt. While this may seem to be a mundane concern, it is an everyday one that frustrates the student body. If you do not arrive at school by 9am, you can spend 30 to 40 minutes driving around the parking lot, rolling down your window, and asking students if they happen to be leaving and if so where are they parked. While this may be a common bond, it's not a happy one.

a very limited amount of institutional scholarships and their very specific so its hard to apply to them

The most frustrating thing about the school is financial aid. If your parents income are good, they wont help very much. They don't listen when I tell them I live alone and on my own and that my parents have expenses along with helping my brothers with their financial needs. They can't help me and I am alone. The financial aid councelors do not really understand that info and it is really frustrating.

In my opinion the most frustrating thing at FAU is finding a parking spot. There were days that I drove around for more than forty five minutes looking for a spot to park.
