University of Florida Top Questions

What makes my school unique compared to other schools is our dedication to school work first and leisure later. My school is known for tough courses and accepting students that graduate at the top of their class and it is true. In every student here we have the mind to work hard to earn our degrees and have fun at the same time. In other words we dont just work all the time. Here at my school we also get involved and help each other in a way that makes the school homely. Other schools don't have this balance.

Perhaps the most unique part about my school is the strength of the curriculm. From day one you start focusing are what you are here to do.

UF is unique because we actively accept diversity and promote diversity within the Gator Nation. This whole campus community is centered around success and leadership, and I feel that we stand out as a university because of the strength in school spirit, and the promotion behind the "orange and blue". There are countless oppurtunities for diversity within organizations and the university constantly promotes the idea of branching out and experiencing as well as accepting diversity. It allows students to step out of their comfort zone in a positive way.

School spirit is very important to UF, there isn't a day that you won't see someone in orange and blue. Gators are always in the national spotlight, and our academic programs are some of the best in the nation.

One thing that makes the University of Florida unique compared to other schools I considered is that it is the number one school for undergraduate research oppurtunities. It is also rated one of the top universities in the nation. It also has a great location which keeps it warm in the fall yet cool in the spring, the weather is never a problem.
