The campus is strategically locate in downtown Fort Lauderdale, an evolving, dynamic urban community of South Florida, which is the geographic center of a metropolitan region with a population of approximately six million. The School of Architecture, the School of Communication and Multimedia Studies, the Small Business Development Center, the Florida Public Archaeology Network at FAU, and the Institute for Design and Construction (IDaC) are situated in the Florida Atlantic University/Broward College Higher Education Complex on Las Olas Boulevard. The School of Architecture MetroLAB, an exhibition space for collaborative research and community engagement, is located on the ground floor of the FAU/BC Higher Education Complex on Las Olas Boulevard.

Review 888 is a number that only comes once in a Yelper's lifetime. So, I decided to review the…read moreUniversity that I earned my Masters in Urban and Regional Planning. In reality this is the most expensive review considering that I owe $30,000 in student loans. When I moved to Las Vegas in September of 2004, it was supposed to be a temporary move while I looked for jobs in the field of urban planning. As it turned out I would stay in Las Vegas and work at a different livelihood. The two years prior to moving here I was a full time student based where my life was based out of the FAU Tower in Downtown, Fort Lauderdale. From September 2002 to the Summer of 2004, I attended four semesters plus a summer semester here. You would think that being on the Fort Lauderdale coast and all that it would be party central attending school in a tower off Las Olas Boulevard in the Venice of America. The reality is that it was a lot of work and stress. The university held a very high standard that if your G.P.A. plummeted below a B- you were out of the program. That meant that my sole focus was getting through college. The tower is separate from the main FAU campus in Boca Raton. There really was no social life here. The primarily social life was working on assignments with my fellow students. My usual day was to have lunch in the junky McDonald's off Broward Boulevard and study in the Starbuck's on Las Olas Boulevard or up in the fifth floor of the FAU Tower. We did not have the benefits of the main campus. Our library was a row of the neighboring Broward County Library. We parked on the top level of a government parking garage. Our computer room was open for a limited time. The biggest disadvantage was that there was no dorms or close by apartments. This was a major disadvantage because the first year I had to live in Ghetto Central and the second deep in the suburbs requiring lost time on the buses. The overnight cram sessions that I had to spend up in the FAU tower made a night in Circus-Circus seem like paradise. The thing I enjoyed about going to school here were the Professors and community with my fellow urban planning students. There was a strong sense of support amongst the students. The professors knew the subject matter and the students including myself well. This was an encouraging environment to overcome my fear of public speaking. Giving presentations is a big part of the Masters in Urban Planning degree. I enjoyed teaching my fellow students and professors my views on planning. I also enjoyed some of the urban amenities of downtown Fort Lauderdale including the walks on the Riverwalk to Las Olas Boulevard, watching residential towers sprout up across Las Olas, and watching the sun go down from the tower. During my two years here, I had some creative ideas that developed. There was my thesis in redeveloping the land southwest of I-95 and Broward Boulevard into a Transit Oriented Development. There was the urban design class where I proposed turning a part of Fort Lauderdale into the FAU Owl District. There was the undeveloped parcel of land off University Drive where I did a site design project on the concept of a World's Store. The professors seemed to like how I formulated my ideas into reports because they gave me good grades. I also liked the school trips. The conference in Key West I will never forget and the environmental field trip where we canoed in the Big Cyprus Swamp with alligators I will never forget. My biggest mistake was rushing through the program. In that rush to get through the program, I never got the experience through internships. If I were to do it over again there would of been another year with internships. Then again, some of the students had a hard time getting internships. If I were to do it again, most likely it would of been a different degree. FAU may be no ivory tower. However for two years of my life it was my tower. The memories and my Masters in Urban and Regional Planning degree will never disappear; just $30,000 that I am to paying back. If I were to do it all over again it would of been a different career path. You live and you learn then you ultimately share the experience in a Yelp review.

Most of, if not all, my professors were from FAU, NOVA & University of Miami. In fact, my MGF1106 class was the exact same that the professor taught to his class at FIU. I paid $117 per credit hour though. What a steal. All my credits transferred to FAU and I currently have a 3.8 GPA at Florida Atlantic University. Getting my AA at Broward really prepared me for the 3000/4000 level classes at university. Pro tips: meet with your advisor often and do not be above using "word count memes" for real! 3000 word minimum? Change that "also" to "in addition to." Change "This suggests" to "Therefore elucidating the impression that." Sprinkle that in like Salt Bea! Huge thanks to the math lab for helping me get a B+ in STA2023. Gracias Marta for tutoring me in Spanish! Getting an A+ in a 4 credit hour class meant so much to me! "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." Senior year at FAU this fall, here I come!
