Well Toto, if you haven’t noticed, we’re not in Kansas anymore. There’s no more lunch hour, dress code or bells to signal the start of class. No more tardies or detentions. In fact, most college classes don’t even take attendance.

While you may not have landed somewhere over the rainbow, college can still be a great adventure. Since we can’t give you a pair of ruby slippers, we put together this insider’s guide to help you survive and thrive at FAU.

From tuition to entertainment, follow the yellow brick road through this Wizard of Oz themed special issue to get the low down on everything they didn’t tell you at orientation.

This New Student Edition will help you navigate the inner workings of FAU – from picking a professor to buying your textbooks. We will give you all the tips, hints and tricks to making college life a great journey.

Good luck,

Special Issue Editor
