Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended FAU for a semester and got out of there faster than you can believe. This is the worst institution…where do I begin?

Faculty: they are all complete idiots and down right refusal to help students. First of all, they told me to come to the wrong orientation date, so flew out to Fl from CA only to be told that I wasn't supposed to be there. Second, all the counselors in the psyc department were not only completely useless, but they were rude and downright mean! Third, I was in upper division courses taught by GRAD STUDENTS. WTF?! I paid how much to be taught by a grad student?!?!

People: I met some really great, humble, intelligent people here, but honestly, the majority of them are snobby, mindless drunks. I'm not some nerd huddled in my room, i like to go out to the bars as much as anyone, but the party scene here was kinda wack. Theres also a large population from the north east (NY, NJ, etc) who seem to think they're superior and can be extremely arrogant. I dont see why… i mean, i guess daddy's little princess couldnt get into a good school so thats why they're dropping $35 grand a year to come party in Florida.

Education: the quality of education is awful, simply awful. Not once did i hear a professor encouraging students to think about grad school, and not once did i hear anything on the campus about grad school! not even from students!

Food: disgusting. not worth your money at all. the dining hall is staffed by complete idiots, the food is repulsive, and the only other option is fast food from a food court. no thanks.

Overall, yes, the school is improving, and yes, it's up and coming, but i dont think it would be getting as much attention if it werent for the football team. Please, dont waste your time and money. go to a GOOD school.
