Tuition, Cost & Aid

Florida Atlantic University is not an excessively expensive school. Considering the excellent education received from this College, and the services provided by the administration and faculty, the tuition price is not too high.
Nevertheless, scholarship opportunities are somewhat limited. It is not easy to obtain financial aid. Options are restricted, and the number of awards distributed is low.

A university education does not comes cheap, but FAU is well worth the money. It is a renown leader in many fields and students leave here well-prepared for their careers. Due to their top-quality education, FAU graduates are more likely to start earning top pay in their fields just out of college.

FAU, is the least expensive school in florida, beside a community college. Scholarships are available, but they are arduous to receive. For example, you have to have this many hours, and this kind of major, in order to get certain scholarships. There are no easy ones, but if you work hard, and meet those certain requirements, that scholarship will be hand delivered to you.

FAU itself is very reasonable. If you live off campus (which I recommend after freshmore year), do so. FAU does not charge a million different fees. The parking permits are free, but don't dare park illegally. They're too quick. Boca Raton is an expensive city - gas is expensive here (comparably), clothes and jewelry and all of that glitz is expensive. The best bang for the buck are these hole in the wall food places that immigrants own - they're the best. I don't know anyone that goes to a chain restaurant. There's a local sushi place that gets FLOODED with FAU students on Friday and Saturday nights. Car insurance is cheap in this city for some reason. Rent is a little ridiculous. I come from tampa, and I could get a beautiful remodeled apartment for $750. $750 in Boca Raton is the hood. I mean not a nice area at all. Your average 1 bedroom in a nice area can run from $850 to over $1000. Get a roommate.

not only is fau a public school, but they are also very affordable. two of the main aspects i was in search for when choosing the right college for me. financial aid and other scholarships are available to students. there is also a financial aid office on campus with staff that will help guide students on how to get money to pay for school. i think that everything is affordable, from the cost to attend to the cost to get at a buffet on campus to buying scantrons, which, by the way are only 35 cents. not only that but fees include use of the gym, riding the palm tran for free, free wifi and other things. as long as you complete your fafsa, and apply to scholarships and apply yourself there should be no problems.

Take advantage of things on campus and get what you are paying for. There are so many things that you pay for in your tuition that you might as well get what you paid for. And one of the best school's cost wise, in the state of Florida, which is great especially if you are a resident.

In my opinion, I thought my first year of college was going to rob me of my money. But, after seeing how many scholarship oppurtunities and grants that the school offered, it gave great relief. Although I still had to take out student loans, if you just put in the effort and apply for as many scholarships as you can, you're bound to get at least one. Since this school is also public, it's a little cheaper than a lot of other schools.

Wilkes' top rate professors combined with the internships offered at Scripps Laboratories provides a very commensurate trade for your money.

FAU is one of the less expensive universities.

Florida Atlantic's classes are some of the least expensive in Florida. My monthly tuition is significantly cheaper then the other schools nearby.
