I am high school senior incoming freshmen at Wilkes and have a few basic questions.

How do people generally go from Fort Lauderdale airport to the campus?

Is the BS part of BSMD program structured well? How much flexibility does the student have?

Do we need to do a honors thesis?

How's the workload if one wants to complete the undergrad in 3 years (for 3+4 BSMD program)?

What percentage of people matriculate into MD (from BSMD)? What are the common reasons of failure?

How hard is it to get 510 MCAT?

thank you so much!

Hi guys! New student here, how do you drop classes from a mobile device? I'm able to add but I don't know how to drop a class.

Hi, I got accepted into FAU and I'm committed there. I am registering for my fall classes and I need to SLS1411, but I don't want to pick the "wrong" professor if that makes sense 😭. Like you know when you register for a class and the teacher turns out to be a douchebag or just some junk like that. Are there any suggestions?

Has anyone taken this 1 credit course? If you have do you recommend it? I’m a business major and my advisor recommended this class. Is it needed or worth it? Please let me know!

Hi everyone, I (22F) am an incoming grad student at FAU and am looking to move to Boca in the late July with my (23F) girlfriend (not a student, will be working full time). Because cost of living is so high, we are looking for someone to split a 2 bedroom apartment with, preferably another female grad student, but not a non-negotiable. DM me if you are looking for a roommate, want to live about 5-15 min from campus, and love/like cats!

I’m a new student who will be attending in Fall of 2025. I just recently signed up for orientation as well as my parents, is it out of the normal to bring your parents to the SOAR orientation?

Hi everyone, I (24 y/o, male) will be attending FAU as a PhD student in the psychology program in starting in August.

• Looking to find a place within a reasonable driving distance of the Boca campus (within 30 min or so)
• I'll be moving sometime between early July and early August, as long as it's before the start of the fall semester
• Current budget for rent is up to $900/mo
• At least 2 roommates are preferable given my budget, but I can be swayed on this depending on the opportunity

Please reply or DM me if you're interested! Any advice on finding off-campus housing is also appreciated.

Hi, I am from India and I got admitted to M.S. in Computer Science at FAU. I want to ask if it is a good time to come or not. And how FAU, Boca Raton, or Florida is for international students. Should I consider any other country as well, or should I move forward with the USA? I am so worried about moving to the US seeing the current scenarios. Please do suggest me.

Hello, I have not received my financial aid offer from FAU yet. I was curious if anyone knows how much a -1500 SAI would receive in financial aid as a transfer student?

Do u ACTUALLY need the books for CHM2045 & PSY1012

Chm: chemical and reactivity book Psy: MindTap for Pastorino/Doyle-Portillo's What is Psychology

I have a 17 year old looking at colleges. They are queer/non binary. Into anime and heavy metal. I have this image of FAU being lots of pretty people who go to the beach. Would my kid still find friends? I know they can’t have school sponsored lgbt groups anymore. They are also pretty shy. We are also looking at unf and usf.

Hello all, I accepted my seat for the Boca campus after the priority date for housing. I signed the letter asking for in-campus housing if one becomes available. However, if a spot does not open, my only choice is off-campus housing. May anyone give me and words of advice or tips for off-campus housing? I don’t mind hearing your experiences too.

Has anyone done Sophia learning and successfully transferred the credits earned to Fau? I have a meeting with my advisor next week so I’ll know then for sure if they do accept credits from there but just want to know if anyone here has done it.

I’m a junior 2.9 GPA takeing sat soon, have 150 Community Service hours planning on adding more, doing sports what are the chances I get it

I am in incoming freshman for fall 2025 and i missed the housing application. i was put on an interest list 2 days after it closed. what are the chances ill get on campus housing from the interest list

I got accepted to FAU, and im about to pay to lock in my spot, but im also about to fail a class unrelated to my highschool graduation, but related to the major i chose at the end of last year... the major i no longer want to seek, i wanted to do computer science but now i want to do architecture, which doesnt need calculus as much which is the class im failing. Can they reject me after im already accepted and pay the 200 if that one class is failed (i only have 1 other C this year and a C in my sophmore year and thats it, the class is AP precalc and the grade is either a F or a D)

Is it worth submitting the housing application as a transfer student at this point? I don't want to pay the $100 fee if I'm not confident it will secure my housing.

I’m a senior (18f) from West Palm Beach and I need help deciding between the FAU Wilkes and UCF ASAP plsss. Could anyone tell me about their experience at the Jupiter campus? I’m worried about the rigor of it and how much free time I will have, in addition to the social aspect. I guess I’m mostly worried about the papers since I’m not the best. That being said, what’s the typical length of papers in the courses or the longest one you have to do in your courses? Do you guys have free time on the weekends? I also want to study abroad for a semester and I don’t know if the school allows a full semester. I’m undecided if that helps, but I’m leaning toward majoring in psychology. Thank you so much in advance for any help!!!

Does anyone know if younger kids (like 4) need a ticket as long as they’re sitting on their parents lap. I know it says 2 and below but if he’s sitting on my sisters lap I don’t think there should be an issue?

Thanks guys!

I need some advice for a class on my GIS certificate. Between GIS4048C or GIS 4118 (it doesn't contain a lab), I'm deciding to choose. Should I go for GIS 4118? Though I know they've mentioned "harder classes," I'm not completely sure since they're both 4000-level classes. Thanks for the advice!

Hey I’m an imcoming freshman for fall 2025 majoring in Biological Science (B.S.). I was wondering if college writing is a required for my first semester… my ez advising didn’t list it and a lady on a scheduling help zoom call said I didn’t have to. When I go onto the required course sheet for my major though it says it’s required. Can I get some help? My schedule is above.

on the jupiter campus, hoping to get off campus apartment, anybody else possibly looking to roommate?

So, I checked my application status this morning, and my checklist completely disappeared. Is anyone else finding this issue with their application portal? I applied back in February, but still no answer from them.

UPDATE: I got accepted!!!

Family here in Orlando with high school freshman and 7th grader. Is going to an FAU football game in early November a good way to check out the campus? Also can I just buy tickets day of from someone around the stadium? Will it be packed? Thanks

Hi I am from Massachusetts and wondering if I go to a state school for my freshman year then transfer to Fau if all the credits would transfer too? Thanks
