Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lynn is a great school to come and study at. The campus is small, which makes it fell more like home. You meet lot's of amazing people and class sizes are the perfect size.
Tips for prospective students It's a great school to come too. Make sure to keep your grades up if you want to be part of the Lynn Community.
Academic Rigor The class sizes are perfect which make the teachers push you to try your best. You have lot's of one on one time with professors so excuses are not accept. Overal the academic teaching at Lynn is great.
Dorm Life The dorms are okay size freshmen year but once your freshmen year is over you get dorms with bathrooms and the rooms are so much bigger as well. So just hang in there your first year and the rest of the years you'll have an amazing room.
Food and Dining The food is not the best food in the world but it gets old after awhile.
What to do for fun Party and party and did I mention party? Well besides parties the school provides lots of activites such as game night, moive night, or days were you just cook stuff for fun.
Campus Safety You will always feel save at Lynn the campus has the best safety.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Very knowledgeable and helpful professors.
Fantastic and respected university.
I feel I will reach my future goals attending this university, and so far I've noticed how I feel motivated, proud and eager to learn.Tips for prospective students Know your goals.
Have a support system at home; if you don't, ask for help and you will find it, just reach out.
Make it your number one priority; keep your eye on the ball (your future degree) and don't let any hardships make you give up. If you want something bad enough, you can always find a way to make it work if you look for help. Four years of hardship now will mean a lifetime of doing what your passion is. No one can take that away from you; not to mention the self-esteem that comes with getting good grades and knowing you're that much closer to your goal. Keep your eye on the ball. Don't let distractions keep you from your goal: Your degree!Academic Rigor Yes, it's difficult. But it will make you stronger, if you have perseverance. At a good university, there are helpful professors, tutors, etc. When you feel like you want to give up and you're frustrated, just think of what your future will be not achieving your dream. Just know in the end, it will all be worth it. Four years of hardship is nothing compared to someday being able to work in your chosen profession. (My mom taught me that.) And even 20 or 30 years from now, you will still feel proud and no one can take your degree away.
Dorm Life Unfortunately, I am not able to live in a dorm due to finances.
Food and Dining I pack my food at home and take it with me to save money.
What to do for fun There are lots of activities at all universities, but my personal preference has become health and physical fitness. October 2011, I became more interested in this area. I have lost approximately 50 pounds through exercise and healthy eating. It is no longer just a way to relieve stress, but it has now become my lifestyle. I was overweight most of my life, and due to a personal tragedy, I started on the treadmill to feel better. It has now become a part of me. I do various forms of exercise, and I've researched and learned about healthy eating. I can't imagine ever going back to the way I was before. To me, fun is a great workout, taking care of myself. The people in my life can't believe I am the same person! And it's not just about vanity, although that's a great plus, but changing my lifestyle I have noticed also helps me handle stressful situations (example: my quantitative reasoning class, which I just passed with a good grade!!)
Bang for the buck All I can say is I'm grateful I have the opportunity to attend my school for my desired degree. My mom encourages me, and although she doesn't have a lot of money, she does everything she can, as she always has, to make sure I have a good life. When I think about people who don't have that support at home, I think of her. She had absolutely no support from her parents, she fended for herself, and she went to school with no support system and is doing what she truly loves to do, even though it doesn't pay as much as it did before the economy went bad. I feel empathy for people who don't have a mom like I have. On the other hand, she didn't have a mom like I have, and she succeeded through her own perseverance. So my point is, after all this, is you can achieve your goals, if you want it bad enough, through tough times and lack of family support. My mom has taught me a lot about following your dream, no matter what. You just have to ask for help when you need it. For those who don't have my mom to encourage them and support their dream, I want them to know you can still achieve your goal, just like my mom did twice. I think I will always be a stronger person because of her, how she raised me on her own, how she has survived through difficulty on her own. I will achieve my goal one way or another. Someday I will pass that trait on to my child or children, and anyone I come across who needs me to encourage them. I'm here if you need me!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus I am proud to go to Lynn University. The earthquake in Haiti, the students and professors were killed. They have built a wonderful memorial for them. And it's an international school, so there are people from all over the world coming here! Diversity is a wonderful thing, meeting people from other cultures and countries.
Great for these types of students If Lynn University teaches what you want to do with your life, I can't imagine going anywhere else. Again, diversity, great professors. I've only completed one semester, but I am very proud to say I go to Lynn University. When I was having problems with quantitative reasoning, my professor let me come early and he tutored me and helped me immensely. I passed with a great grade. I feel all of the professors would be just as helpful. If not, they do have tutoring available. So if you're serious about your future, want to be proud of where you go to school, Lynn is the place for you! I just also think it's really impressive that I'm going to school with people from all over the world! Getting to know people from other places, I feel, will make you more knowledgeable of other ethnicities, and basically make you a more tolerant and understanding person as you go forth in your life.
Clubs and Activities Due to my school schedule, and I've just been at Lynn one semester, it's a 45 minute drive from home, I haven't had the opportunity or time to explore the activities. My current interest, which I plan to be my lifelong interest and lifestyle, is my exercise and various fitness routines, which makes me feel my best. In coming semesters as I get more into my classes pertaining to video production, I'm sure I will get involved in something. This school, I believe, adds $500 to your student loans for activities, whether you partake or not. I'm still new here, I need more time.
Greek Life I'm not Greek.
Campus Safety I very much feel safe at Lynn. There is plenty of campus security. Plus, because the final presidential debate will be held here, I believe it's October 2012, I happen to know there is FBI agents all over the place, some even posing as students, to keep things safe. Even if the debate wasn't going to be here, I would feel safe anyway. I just can't say enough about this school. I'm very impressed and definitely feel safe. (And of course I feel very proud they picked my school for a presidential debate!) But campus security is available for any problems, and I feel they take their students' safety seriously.

Reviewer is Accepted here and planning to attend soon. Reviewer has been to campus.
Categories Rating Comments Will learn a lot Since there's not so much students around the school, the teachers, counselors may actually have enough time after class to teach you something new everyday. Plus with the Hands On and internship programs available at school, that's a nice way to experience new things
Will enjoy being here Yes I will, because I will need focus for the next 5 years and the school brings lots of it. Help of every and any kind is all through the school, library, teachers, friendly counselors and more...iLike already!
Bang for the buck I really don't know if I am looking forward for distractions because I have more serious stuff set up as my goals. So hopefully there will be Bangs but I might not participate in all of them.
Great for these types of students Serious, chilled, focused about their future, social, fashion and business lovers.

Categories Rating Comments In three sentences Lynn University has a great student body filled with diversity. You meet people from all over the world. Also the teachers there are so helpful and are always there for their students.
Tips for prospective students The school is very much what you make of it. Don't expect it to be like in the movies. If you want fun, make sure you have a cool group of friends.
Academic Rigor The classes are pretty simple and challenging depending on what you are taking. Make sure to always talk in class which is what the school mainly depends on and to communicate a lot with your teachers.
Dorm Life Lynn University does a pretty good job pairing roommates. The dorms for freshmen are obviously small but the next years they get better. It's pretty much awesome living without your parents.
Food and Dining The school there isn't that much to die for. You'll get bored of it after a while and crave to eat something else outside of the school. Breakfast is always good though.
What to do for fun The school is very calm, there aren't that much dorm parties but you can meet people simply by just walking around. Since it's located in Boca Raton you're pretty much close to Ft. Lauderdale and Miami which is where everybody mainly goes every weekend.
