A good place for growth.

Tips: Florida is a very happening place to study and spend aspects of your life in, and while studying at Florida Atlantic, I was exposed to all sorts of people and culture, which helped shape me into who I am today. Indian food is available, but with limited options, and it's better to cook for yourself. Once you figure out how the transport system works, you'll be able to get around.

People here are very friendly and involved.

Tips: My time here has been very active, as I've been involved in three different clubs, helped organise events, and even tried my hand at research. This has helped me feel a strong sense of community and experience everything the college has to offer. While the classes are a bit large, I recommend connecting with professors; it can be very beneficial. Overall, I've had a great experience here.

Likes (Student Life): The people here are very friendly and involved. I've found more common ground with them than with anyone else back home or elsewhere. There are numerous clubs and communities, but I'm most looking forward to the game days and how exhilarating the experience is.

Highly knowledgeable and dignified faculty.

Tips: One of the best things here is how involved and interesting the faculty is. All of them have been pioneers in their fields, and working or studying under them has been insightful. Group projects are a task. Either everyone is coordinated, or you're left to fend for yourself, so be assertive and communicate.
