FAU is a great academic university while also being local to Boca Raton. Personally, I toured FAU’s campus and it is super beautiful. Furthermore, they have very cool features, one being a system called Night Owls where if you are out past 10pm and feel unsafe you can call a number to pick you up to take you to your dorm! Another feature you can register for is hybrid classes. Hybrid classes allow you to go to classes online via video meet for situations where it is raining or you are sick. FAU is definitely a modern university that is worth checking out.
Is FAU the school for you?
