FAU Jupiter Campus? HC, Science, and Max Planck?

I am a current student and can answer your questions.

All honors college students starting your freshman year must take 80% Honors cCollege course, so almost all of your students courses will be on the Jupiter campus within the Honors College. We have residential hall on campus which house around 300 students (freshman to seniors). Here you do not need to worry about not getting the courses you need in the science paths because they are all offered on a yearly basis, and if any courses (science/non-science) fill up professors will lift the enrollment cap to allow more students as long as there are seats in the room. While we do have a decent number of students from the South Florida area, people do come from different areas. I am from around Central Florida. As far as Max Planck and Scripps, a large portion of our science students have jobs or internships at either of the institutes by the end of their sophomore year if they seek a position out. Currently, in the area my lab is in at Scripps, there are at least 8-10 other fellow HC science major students. That is just one half of a floor in a single building at Scripps, so many of the students do work with the Institutes to fulfill their internship/research/thesis requirement.
