"No pre-existing clubs that provide volunteering opportunities (i.e. student clinic)"
"As an out-of-state student, the 30K extra tuition is a crime. Although financially still worth it to become a physician, the parent university (FAU) is really trying to monopolize on those outside of Florida."

"FAU is unique in that all students spend years 1&2 in Boca Raton on the main campus, but then 3rd year is either around Boca (North rotations) or more South in Fort Lauderdale (South rotations). This gives students flexibility to chase after a particular experience or specialty as there are ~8 different hospitals you can rotate at, including major trauma centers and VA. None of these places are major academic centers except Cleveland Clinic Florida. That does not mean the education is sub-par, it's just not as rigid."
"To date, FAU has generally had a 100% match rate with unique circumstances for the few who have not. Matching is such a case-by-case thing so it is hard to generalize but FAU is matching people in competitive specialties and highly-respected programs."
"FAU is a small but great school, where you will be taken care of by the faculty. Major specialties are represented with residency programs (IM, EM, Psych, Neuro, Gen Surg) and most sub-specialties are covered by community practicing physicians. The school really tries to make well-rounded physicians ready for residency and it seems to be working. The school is continuing to increase in rank and the quality of programs students head off to is only getting better. 10-20 years from now, I believe FAU will be seen as very good medical school."
