- Some Professors are great, you'll learn a lot, Some professors teach more theoretical concepts, with little practical use. University has good number of On-campus Part time jobs like TA's, GA's, etc. University & Florida in-general is very safe. Campus is big and different events takes place every week. There are number of indian & International students studying & living in the area. Good number of Indian Restaurants avialable.
Dislikes
- Pick subjects after speaking with seniors, so you can get good professors, else waste of money. Nothing else that I can think of.
- Rent for a 3 BHK Flat is typically 3000 USD a month. If 6 people share it'd be 500 each; that's generally the case (8-9 people also live in many cases). Other Utilities would be 200 $. Miscellaneous expenses would be 200-300 USD a month

- Extracurricular activities, Campus Life are good.
Dislikes
- Accommodation is an issue for international students.
- Telegram, whatsapp groups. Monthly $2500 for a 2B2B. All facilities are included. Just want to mention that Boca Raton is expensive and has a high cost of living.

- There are a lot of opportunities for students who want to go for research/PhD after their masters.
- Campus is huge and there are some really good facilities like gym, sports, medical, cafeteria etc.
- Most of the professors at least in EECS department are good, in terms of their teaching style.
Dislikes
- On-Campus jobs hiring process is broken, you need to know people to get an on campus job here, everything works on referral and luck. It does not depend on your qualifications.
- Assistantships are difficult to get and they have a preference for PhD students, odds for a fresh grad student to get a TA/RA position is less.
- Department operations is too slow. For approving a CPT they need a month, one of my friend had to wait for a month to get his CPT approved, he had to convince his company to extend the joining date. This can create a lot of problems for students.
- Initially I went for on-campus housing; I just reached out to the housing department through email and luckily they had a spot for me. Usually for grad students there is no on-campus housing.
- My monthly rent was 1300 including everything (water, electricity, etc.).
- Initially I faced a lot of delays because there was no way you could apply for on-campus housing as a grad student but the overall process was smooth.
- I would suggest going for off-campus housing, as it is more affordable.
- Almost all of the Indian students stay off campus. I am now living off campus, which is around 2 miles from the University.

- I couldn’t afford my HBCU Oakwood University anymore so I moved to a public university that was cheaper and would allow me to learn more than I did before.
I love my university. I spend a lot of my time sitting by the water watching the birds fly over my head. The faculty especially in my department of social work are very understanding and they work with you. They listen to you and try to provide the best care they can, so that you can be successful.
I chose this college because of the location as well as the programs I was looking into. I also chose Florida Atlantic University because I needed a change of scenery and I was accepted right after I received my Associates in Arts.
I opted for this college because of its location I wanted to be close to home enough that I could drive to school and live at home on a daily basis. Also, the cost of a local school was much cheaper than any other.
