Since I was under the impression that the collegeDec 03 2015Anthropology
Since I was under the impression that the college was a legitimate school with a challenging curriculum and high expectations, I worked very hard to get into the college. I took all of the necessary tests, took AP courses, wrote up a senior paper and project in high school, volunteered, and strove very hard to qualify for scholarships. I did everything right, except chose a good, solid school. I regret that to this day. Heed my warning. Do no attend a satellite or off site school of any university. Do not attend this one. Just cross it right off your list, and move on. Go to University of Miami, Florida State University, Saint Leo University, or University of Central Florida. Those are legitimate universities that will actually be worth something to your future employers.

Apply early! This is not an ivy league school,Dec 13 2012Urban Planning
Apply early! This is not an ivy league school, but it is still important to apply as soon as you can. The school's admissions office offers scholarships based on gpa and test scores that you can get just by applying. Between Bright Futures, and that scholarship I got from FAU, I pay less than $500 a semester to go here, so it's worth it. Also they super score your tests, so out of the 3 ACT's I took, they take the top reading, math, writing score and combined them to give me the best score.
