Since the majority of students don't live on campus don't count on finding too much to do outside of class. Everyone goes from their books to the beach. With a wide age range and a high percentage of commuters, FAU does lack a strong sense of community that some students long for. However, the school is perfect if you aren't interested in a holistic college experience. As a popular choice for people who already live in the vicinity, FAU makes it easy for people to get a degree with little interruption in their current lifestyle.
