To clarify about the overbooked dorm/next dorm situation, via the PBP:

"The demand for campus housing has fueled a two-part plan to expand the number of apartments and dorms on the Boca Raton and Jupiter campuses, said Michael Cocuzza, executive director of housing.

The public university can now house 4,165 students.

It plans to knock down its 96-bed Algonquin Hall dormitory, built in 1965, four years after the university was founded. In Algonquin’s place, FAU will build a 600-bed facility by 2021, Cocuzza said.

That’s phase one.

In the second phase of the plan, FAU will tear down its 430-bed University Village Apartments and build a 1,000-bed facility by 2024.

At the same time, the university will replace a 150-bed building on the Jupiter honors campus with a 430-bed building."

Also, and I accidentally closed the tab and can't find the link here now, but I just read from an article in May that Penn-Florida plans to break ground on University Village on Spanish River in "7-8 months", meaning somewhere around Dec/January of this year. That's great news.

(They've been preoccupied building this Mandarin Oriental thing downtown)

When they demolish Algonquin the university should have a ceremony and have an open invitation for all former residents. 
That used to be known as the party dorm back in the 70s. Some crazy memories. Everyone can sit around, drink beer and compare stories.
