My journey at Florida Atlantic University started when I was 16 years old. I was a varsity cheerleader in high school at the time. I was given the opportunity to complete with other cheer teams at FAU every summer. I fell in love with FAU’s campus. The dorms were available to us as we stayed the weekend on campus preparing for the competition. I immediately knew that FAU was going to be the college that I was going to attend. I already felt like an owl at heart. As the years pass by, I graduate high school and submit my application at FAU. Within a few months, I was accepted and immediately began the transition into college. I started taking classes on campus and had the best experience meeting new people, spending time in the library, and walking around the beautiful campus. Now, I am getting ready to finish up my last year at FAU with a bachelors in Psychology. I will be applying to their Graduate Program to become a Speech Language Pathologist. I thank FAU for all of my success!
I like the environment and all the events they hold up Fau. PB FAU Is an organization that puts in the events at FAU and they do it very well. The events are very creative and fun. I enjoyed all their events and they always kick it off with the mini concert bonfire. That is always a blast and everyone enjoys it. I do wish that they do better with dining and using the meal plan. But also imagine feeding Thousand of kids a day that’s tuff. But other than that FAU is a fun environment that has fun activities and opportunities to make new friends is endless. I also recommend living in the dorms. That is a great way to start to get integrated into the university life. It’s is the best way to make friends with your neighbors, the people on your floor or even people in the same building. The football games are awesome and so are the tailgates! The atmosphere is so fun and everyone feels welcomed everywhere you go. The recreational center is great places and so is the group fitness classes!
My experience at Florida Atlantic University was nothing short of life changing. When I came o FAU in the fall of 2017, I was not aware of the journey I was embarking on. Being a student here has helped me grow so much in my academics and personal life. I have learned that it is okay and necessary to make mistakes in life in order to learn and grow. I have used the university's resources including the on campus tutoring centers, the CAPS office, doctors offices, and career center. I even got the chance to work for FAU as a tour guide. This was one of the greatest jobs I have ever had! It gave me a deeper appreciation for the university and how much goes into admissions, and how blessed I am to receive an education like this. I was also involved in greek life,I am now a proud Alumni of Alpha Xi Delta. This was a gift because it truly gave me friends for life and the opportunity to fundraise money for foundations like Autism Speaks. I can thank FAU because It made me who I am today.
