This school is the cause for my anxiety, depression, and self loathing. I've been a student here for now 4 years and these are the things that I've noticed. This school is great for graduate students but that is also the downside to this university. Under-grads are extremely neglected and The advisers are practically useless. Trusting advisers is the reason my degree had 2-3 extra years added on to it. A great example would be how my personal adviser took 3 weeks to respond to an urgent email and added a whole year to my degree because of that. In fact the only reason that they responded was because after sending my 3rd email trying to contact them I put them up in general advising and a previous adviser of mine saw it and personally contacted them. Another thing is that the professors (or at least all but 2 of the ones I've had) have been awful. I've had professors that had such heavy accents that not only can none of the students not understand them but even the teaching assistants who are working under them for the class wouldn't know what they were saying, leading to us students having to sit through a lecture that nobody under stands and then self teaching from scratch for the rest of the semester. The math department in particular is horrible, yes the school offers free math tutoring but after you reach higher level math classes the tutors don't know how to help you at all. keep in mind that I am not saying that the people are horrible people, many of the professors are nice but at the end of the day were paying them to teach us and if they aren't able to do a good job teaching why are we paying for it. Another really annoying issue on the topic of classes is that on top of paying to attend the classes this semester I've spent over 800 dollars on "mandatory" textbooks and the online codes to do the homeworks labs and quizzes, and i am taking the classes in person by the way. On top of that the school uses canvas for all the classes but most of the classes distribute all the assignments across at least 2 sources so when you want to check to see if you have any assignments due, its a scavenger hunt across the internet. Next and MOST importantly is that the university is so UN-organized that its comical. FAU is so focused on getting a larger student body that they keep accepting more and more students even though the school is not able to handle the sheer amount of people traffic that it has. There are students that are living in a hotel near campus because they school accepted them to live on campus but didn't have enough dorm rooms to house them. With that in mind the school is currently in the process of demoing one of the dorms as we speak reducing on campus living even further. Another dorm UVA is well over 100% capacity because they took all the single room suite units threw another bed in them and now for roughly the same price as it was to live in them as a single you have even less space and have to share it. On top of this the school has a horrible parking situation. The school does NOT have enough parking for the amount of students it has on campus during the day an what did the school do to counter it? they closed off one of the 3 parking garages and are in the process of converting it, and not converting it into a living space but converting it into a classroom, further reducing the parking available while allowing them to take in even more students. This is my condensed review of this university. read more
