FAU was named the easiest school to have safe sex at, according to a study done by Trojan brand condoms in October.

The survey was based on things like, condom availability, anonymous advice and website navigation. But there are a few other reasons why the Today and Beyond Wellness department, FAU's sexual health center in Boca, deserves to be on top.

Top three reasons why FAU is on top: 1) Rosemary Dunbar, the Director of the Today and Beyond Wellness department, is so into spreading the message of safe sex that she actually squeezes into a full-body-flesh-colored-condom suit for educational skits.

2) Since the announcement, FAU has doubled the amount of students who get HIV tested every day. Now more than 40 students are HIV tested every day in the Today and Beyond Wellness Center.

3) The student peer-educators along with the Today and Beyond Wellness staff appeals to college students with original events like, The Sexually Responsible Bed Race,an annual event in which teams work together in building a bed on wheels in order to promote a sexual health message. One team built an underwater themed bed,with a sign that said "Going down? Wear Protection". The next Bed Race will be held in February in the breezeway on the Boca campus.
