It's across Glades road. Depending on which end of campus you are in, it
could be a 15-20 minute walk.

In South Florida practically nothing is walking distance. :-( There is a
PF Changs (Chinese), J Alexander's (Steak) and a French Restraunt in the
same plaza as the Whole Foods.

Also, there is a Circuit City and Borders there too.

It's a very safe area. As for walking, FAU happens to be in a mostly
residential area (it's a 10 minute walk from my house)... I really don't
know how far you can get without a vehicle.
