Palm Beach Atlantic University Top Questions

If you're looking for a party school, PBA will not be the best choice for you. I think a lot of people come in with the wrong attitude, which is why some end up transferring out. There are certainly things to do during the weekends here, and you don't have to look hard to find them. The people here really are great. I have made friends that I will have for the rest of my life, which is a HUGE reason why I would never want to transfer. It's not hard to meet new people and make new friends because the school is smaller in size. It is very easy to get involved in different things around campus, and if you do, you will sincerely enjoy your experience at PBA. You will also grow in your faith during the time you spend here, even if you aren't really trying to. The people who surround you have the power to influence you, and there are many students here who are good influences.

It was and still sometimes is very hard to get plugged in at PBA. Be assertive, confident, and friendly in order to make friends ... I'll pray for you. :) Also, even when you do make the friends be aware of the fact that many students transfer out...then the same amount transfer in from other schools.

PBAU is unique in the fact that it is a Christian college, yet one does not need to be a Christian to enroll; it is very liberal in that it is less traditional than a lot of Christian schools.

It is a non-denominational Christian university that does not make religion a basis for admission.

Christian environment.

It is a very tight-knit environment, near to the beach, there is a lot of shopping around, and it is in a booming metropolitan area.

The urban location and proximity to the beach make this an ideal school for opportunity for participating and being involved in sports, arts & music, business and fun at the beach. The Florida weather is good year-round so it's a welcoming place for students from northern states.

The professors and people really care about you perosnally. I also have opportunities to work in the field i like, in addition to taking classes.

It's a Christian College.
