Campus Experience

Transcript

This is going to be great. We’re now going to go to FAU stadium and meet Michael, he’s a senior from East Haven, Connecticut, majoring in multimedia journalism. Michael is a campus tour guide, and he’s going to tell us all about the campus experiences here at FAU. I got to tell you, I am loving FAU’s energy and vibe. Michael, take it away.

– Hey everyone. Florida Atlantic University has been my home for close to three years now and has given me the college experience that I’ve always wanted. From the first day stepping onto campus, I knew that FAU was the place for me. I found myself in an environment with the opportunities to grow both inside and out of the classroom. Through unique degree programs, a diverse student population, athletics, and of course, the beach. FAU is always working to create a better on-campus atmosphere. Everywhere you look, there’s new residence halls, buildings, and study areas popping up, including the newly renovated student union, which includes an e-sports area with more than 40 gaming stations and setups for consoles. Since I love to work out, my favorite place to be on campus is the fitness and recreation center. I’m there almost every day, either lifting weights or playing pickup basketball. One thing I look forward to most is Saturdays during football season. Our football games are an all day affair and you can find our students tailgating outside the stadium, followed by taking in the action from the student section. We have 19 division one athletic teams here at FAU, and we love cheering on our owls on the field, or in the arena. FAU gave me the on-campus learning experience I needed in order to thrive in journalism. Here, I worked with South Florida Journal, a student produced radio show covering news all across South Florida, which allowed me to express my passion for broadcasting. Looking back on everything I’ve experienced and accomplished leading up to graduation, I am forever grateful for my owl community. Thank you, Florida Atlantic University. Now back to you, Alex.

– Did you all see that stadium? What a fun place to spend on Saturdays! It’s football in paradise. Thanks again, Michael.
