There are more options of study and more opportunities to explore beyond the classroom than any other school in Florida. The professors are people who have serious experience in their field of study and everyone is very motivated and proud of their school.

UF has the top Health Science program in the nation. I am a health Science major so since UF is close to home and the number one school I figured it would be a good match for me. I also enjoy the athletic program here and the auto matic connection to the international "Gator Nation".
Alyssa
Although it is a big school, there is a real sense of community and comradery. Some of the other schools I looked at seemed more isolated than it is here. When coming to a school of this size, it is important to find something that makes it seem a little smaller. The amount of opportunities for involvement here is very impressive, and each of them work to make the campus a little more manageable for everyone who chooses the University of Florida. Go Gators!

The University of Florida has a growing population that leads to diversity in it's students which allows people such as myself gain an understanding of differing backgrounds. In addition, I take pride in UF's enthusiasm and support to our various sports teams. There is no other feeling like being in "The Swamp" during the football games of the football season. Last, but not least, while UF students excel academically, students can still take time to have fun and enjoy life. Here at UF, students gain the best of both worlds.

The Gator Nation, it is undescribable but you feel it when you are on campus, going to football games and when you graduate you know you are a member for life.
Sonia
The University of Florida offers both an academically challenging currciulum, balanced with a healthy dose of extreme school spirit in the form of the Gator Nation. UF has been able to excel in academics while ensuring a cohesive and family-life environment outside of the classroom. The campus unites together on Saturdays during football season to cheer on the Gators in Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. But, at the end of the day, Gators know that academics come first and crack the books right after. This balanced lifestyle gives students the best of both worlds.
Angela
UF is a great campus for natural education. There are conservation areas surrounding the campus and a large group of people that are into getting outdoors.
Annie
The University of Florida was close to my home town and it was convenient, not to mention, it felt safe for my parents to be able to reach out and touch me whenever they needed to. The school was unique for its accredidation as well as the quality of education of which it offered. Did I mention, it has one of the most beautiful campuses that one would ever want to visit. The University of Florida is well known for its medical and health, business and education professions. UF takes pride in providing the best educational experience for its students.
Nia
The University of Florida had everything I was looking for in a school. It is the only in-state school I considered attending.
Shawn
I choose the University of Florida because it was rated one of the top public universities in the Country and the best school in Florida. I chose to remain in Florida because of the financial opportunities that were given to me. Bright Futures is a program offered to those who remain within the state of Florida. I had to jump on the opportunity because I really had no other option. My parents never put away a college fund and didn't think ahead for me. Without the aid I get from my college, I wouldn't even be in college.
