    From the biggest library in Florida and state-of-the-art study labs, to a highly renowned faculty leading programs for undergraduates, graduates and professionals, I’ve got so much to offer you…
    At the center of it all, my state-of the-art University Center that has:
    - the “Shark Tank,” my 4,500 seat arena (with not a bad seat in the house) for concerts, NCAA Sharks Athletic Teams and celebrity lectures
    - 5 basketball & volleyball courts
    - a 2-story rock-climbing wall
    - an Olympic-sized pool (You don’t have to Michael Phelps to use it!)
    - a world-class RecPlex Fitness Center that visiting Orange Bowl teams have used for their workouts before the big game
    - The Flight Deck with video games, food, tons of flat-screen TVs, pool tables and ping-pong, table hockey...and lots of fun
    - a performing & visual arts wing with a huge theater, set design and costume shops, rehearsal rooms and a “black box” theater where you can really express yourself
    - 16 NCAA Division II men’s and women’s athletic teams

    On campus, join me for some really outrageous events like…
    - NSU’s Got Talent, where you’re the star
    - The wild and crazy “Anything Floats Raft Race” that happens on our own beautiful campus lake
    - The Biggest Loser competition, NSU-style
    - Guitar Hero contest where you, too, can be a rock star
    - The Shark Shuffle 5K Race
    - The Stuey Awards, honoring the best and the brightest at NSU
    - Sharkapalooza – the orientation party that’s second to none
    - Life 101, where famous actors, athletes, and business leaders share their secrets, and how it all started
    - Annual 3-day South Florida Blues Fest
    - The annual Heart Walk benefiting the American Heart Association
    - The Autism Walk
    - Black History Month activities

    Venture off campus to …
    - Hang out at the world-famous Fort
    - Lauderdale Beach
    - Enjoy local clubs for dancing
    - Mountain bike at Markham Park
    - Go fishing (salt or freshwater – your choice)
    - Waterski at Quiet Waters Park
    - Kayak the mangroves off Dania Beach
    - Explore the Everglades (get close to some ‘gators!)
    - Windsurf the shallows off Key Biscayne

  • Music

    I love the campus radio station, WNSU Radio X. Tune in to 88.5 FM in Fort Lauderdale. It rocks.

  • Television

    One word: SharkTube, my own video network that let’s people know what’s going on around campus. And who doesn’t love YouTube. There are some great clips of all the fun things that happen on campus.

  • Books

    I don’t mean to brag, but my five-story library is the biggest in Florida. It’s open late, so you can cram for finals. So book on over to do some research, study or use my computer labs that are loaded with the latest technology.

  • Heroes

    And I hang with some very important people, like...
    - The Dalai Lama visited me in 2004
    - Gold medal skater, and Dancing with the Stars champion, Kristi Yamaguchi
    - Action hero Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
    - Olympian Michael Phelps has swum with the Sharks.
    - The Miami Dolphins whose headquarters and Training Camp right on campus
    - World-famous artist Dale Chihuly, renowned for his priceless glass sculptures
    - Mr. Blockbuster, Wayne Huizenga, who has a business school named after him
    - Marine artist/ecologist, Guy Harvey, who has a created a huge shark mural for us
    - Nobel Peace Prize winner Eli Wiesel
    - Former Miami Dolphins player Jason Taylor
    - Former Miami Heat player Alonzo Mourning
    - Actress Alyssa Milano
    - BET Founder Robert Johnson

About me:

Welcome to my official MySpace profile. I’m Nova Southeastern University. But my students call me Nova – a dynamic university in suburban Fort Lauderdale offering bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in a variety of fields, and with an international presence. I’m both traditional and innovative. And most important, I’m there for you. We’re proud to be the Sharks. Because there’s always a feeding frenzy of really cool stuff going on. Like at our amazing new University Center with a state-of the-art RecPlex Fitness Center – a three-story mega gym. Hungry? Chow down at my food court. Grab a late night snack at the Flight Deck where you can shoot some pool, watch the big screens …or just chill. You want it? I got it. Fraternities and sororities. 16 Men’s and women’s NCAA teams – including our 2008 Sunshine State Conference Champions in Women’s Basketball, Rowing and Golf. Intramurals, including coed volleyball, basketball and racquetball – and the beat goes on. And when it’s time to study or crash, I’ve got brand new residence halls (hardly your parents’ “dorms”) you’ll call home. All on an amazing, totally wireless, 300-acre campus centrally located in fabulous Fort Lauderdale, that’ll knock your socks off – even if you’re wearing flip-flops! And it’s only a short drive to spectacular Fort Lauderdale beach and the world-famous South Beach in Miami.

O.K, so what else would you like to know? With 27,000 students I’m the 6th largest independent, not-for-profit institution of higher ed in the U.S. (a list of 1,600 schools that includes NYU at #1 and Harvard at #5). So I may be big, but with an average of 22 students in a class, you won’t get lost in the crowd. And it’s really easy to get involved – in clubs and organizations, theatre, student government, intramurals …or whatever interests you. You’re coming here for an education, and a great one at that, so check this out: you can get a bachelor’s degree in one of 33 undergraduate majors. I’ve got an honors program. If you’re really adventurous, how about studying abroad? And, if you’ve got the grades, I’m one of the first dual admission universities, meaning you can come as an undergrad and we’ll save you a seat in one of our grad schools, like medicine, law, dentistry, psychology and pharmacy.

Our Television Commercial

Who I'd like to meet:

I’d like to meet people like me. Independent. Curious. Smart. Adventurous. Fun. People who want to chart their own future. But everyone is different. So be who you want to be. You’ll find people here who are like you – and very different from you. From more than 70 countries. All discovering who they are and what they can become. So set up a campus visit any day except Sundays. You’ll see that we really mean it when we say, “Your Future. Your Terms.” I think NSU is for you. Dive in to the “Shark Tank.” The water’s fine!
