Secondary submitted 🙂 So, due to my unique situation, the closest city I would be commuting from if I attend FAU would be Ft. Lauderdale (let's assume I beat the odds and get accepted, of course)... anyone know if tri-rail/bus shuttle to FAU Campus would be a good idea vs. driving from Ft. Lauderdale? I figured it might be good to commute on tri-rail b/c I could study, read, etc rather than sit and be mad in traffic lol Then again I'm all about saving time, so if it would take me 2 hrs public transit vs. 1 hour by car, that's a big deal. I'm just curious.....
If you actually were to go to FAU you will need a car. We have preceptorship once a week with a physician whose office is anywhere from south Fort Lauderdale up to north West Palm and out to Weston. The administration tries to make accommodations, but it will certainly be problematic. We also start class at 8 am sharp every day so all in all, it would probably make life more difficult than you think.
Edit: Traffic goes toward Miami in the morning. You are unlikely to hit much traffic on 95, particularly since you'd be driving up around 7 am.
