If this had gotten resolved and approved two or more years ago when the ecomomy and the stock market were healthy, things would be different. There would be a stadium on campus.
Yeah, it's a good thing we don't have a waiting list approaching 1000 for housing and that developers are not lined up licking thier chops like wild dogs to feast on the steak of funding our project isn't it?
I'm really curious what their plan is after they sign over development rights… 600 beds/year ober 4 years, 1500 beds right away in 2010, 2400 beds right away, etc

Did anyone else read that they are now organizing dorms by academic interest in order to improve grades.
No, I didn't read that. Do you have a link?
What I know is that they have several Living Learning Communities (LLC) that are organized per floor (i.e. engineering LLC all on 4th floor, north tower of GPT, etc).
I remember Dr.Brown telling me that they want people from different majors and different interests to be roomed together to boost diversity and exposure to different ways of life, so organizing an entire dorm to one group of people seems to conflict that a little bit…

Last year there were 7 Living Learning Communities, now there are barely 4 I think. They were only for freshman and I think they are a good idea especially for freshman. They make sure that you take classes with people on your floor and things like that so that you know someone going into class and its alot easier to study. I do agree that we should be diverse, but also, I'm pretty sure that everyone who lived on the Music LLC floor last year, are not living there this year. I think its a great idea, but only for freshman, after, I think they should go live wherever they want to live.
Few comments:
- There should be a Living/Learning community where you learn FAU history and have the responsibility to volunteer and go to school events. School Spirit Living Learning Community.
- Living/Learning communities statistically improve retention and GPAs for those involved…across the country
and if you look at both comments above, LLCs are geared towards retaining students, creating cohesion between students and trying to give students other options academically and socially other than "study groups."

I'm not trying to be negative. I work with different markets on my job. I saw the DOW down as far as -800 today then recover to -369. I hope they can get this done. If and when they do get the money in hand, I'll know it wasn't easy.

It's the Housing Market that is funding this project…not the Stock market.
We have a 1000 bed defficiency on campus…CASH COW.
