Florida Atlantic University Top Questions

What's the most frustrating thing about Florida Atlantic University?

Patricia

Being able to deal with a learning disability where I have to intern and get hands on experience so I can apply it in the classroom.

Amy

the administrative systems at FAU appear to be well put together and functioning, however they tend to have holes in the system. Not a significant hinderance by any means, but a litte irksome when you get the run around in regards to an apparently simple question.

Maria

The most frustrating this is the fact that not many online courses are offered. Also we use to have more campus options there use to be a campus in Port St. Lucie which was very close to my home and the campus in Jupiter use to offer more course options. The campus in Port St. Lucie is all but obsolete and the campus in Jupiter has very few course options, so I find myself having to drive very far. All I can say is at least I have that opportunity but I would like more convenience

Catherine

The most frustrating thing about my school would have to be the parking lot. There are many many many students who are learning at Palm Beach State and the parking lot is often full. Students and myself have to wait for a while to find a parking spot. Usually I leave a half an hour early because of this.

noelle

The most frustrating thing about my school limitations. The FAU Honors College in Jupiter, FL is so small that there is not much of a selection of free electives. There is only one time slot and instructor for each class. Also, a concentration (the word "major" is not allowed) must be declared as a freshman because one must take classes for that subject area right away; unlike other universities (including FAU Boca Campus), where a student can simply take core classes his/her first two years.

I commute (30-45 min. drive) 4 times a week

Pawel

Since FAU is a commuter school, parking is the number one problem at the school. No matter how many new parking garages get built, one has to always circle the parking lot like a chicken hawk in order tofind that one spot. The other bad thing about FAU being a commuter school is that people tend to come to class, and they are gone right afterwards. Not too many pepople hang around to establish friendships with, unless you live in the dorms which only house a small percentage of students.

Ashley

Housing and meal plan pricing are way over priced. By having over priced housing and meal plans it makes living on campus impossible and if you do live on campus it is very stressful. I lived on campus my freshman year and from the start I had financial troubles. Plus, the quality of the dorms and meal plans are not equal to what they charge. Not enough food choices and the quality of the service ruins dining experience.

Martine

The most frustrating thing about my school is getting a good class schedule. My school offers all the classes you need, but not with much flexibility.

Lauren

The most frustrating thing is trying to call the school because it's very easy to end up getting transferred again and again and again and not necessarily to the right department.
