Campus Visit Notes for Florida Atlantic University


Visit Description:

I got a much better impression of this school than from the first time we visited..better tour guide I guess - made a difference!
I got the impression that this school could definitely get my daughter where she needs to go in her career goal (pre-health professions) but the debate for us is whether she wants to go here (local commuter school) or go "away" to a school in Florida that is further away so she can have that experience.

but overall, I am happy with this school if she does decide to stay at home !
