University of Florida Top Questions

The worst thing at UF is the overall lack of diversity. When people mention diversity at UF they often mean exchange students from other countries. The sad truth is that overall the school lacks diversity amongst students as well as faculty. It is a predominantly white Institution and its noticeable once you step foot on campus. Another thing is that UF prioritizes their athletes much more than they do regular students, its pretty sad.

The number of students at this school is insanely large (50,000 in total) which makes for crowded areas during lunch time and in between classes

The worst thing about the University of Florida is how often tutoring companies promote their business outside of classrooms and offer great help for classes yet they only give mediocre review lessons to the average student while promising them a major improvement when really they set the student up for a B at best on most exams.

I consider the worst thing about my school to be its lack of helpful academic advising.

I don't have much knowledge outside my major, but I hate the organization of my major. The teachers tend to be wishy-washy about accepting jobs to the point where our school schedules aren't decided often until the morning we start our classes. I've also seen a couple of teachers that are completely uninterested in their classes work, which is frustrating.

So far, I do not have many complaints about UF. It gets hot, but that's just Florida in general. It can get crowded, but it's a big school and that is one of the reasons it is so amazing. However, I do wish they would inform students more about the scholarships they have and how to apply for them.

Sometimes being at a school so large, finding help in classes can be a bit overwhelming. With so much to offer, getting overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of the school is overwhelming.

I tend to not look at the worst in things, so frankly I possess a lack of information to answer this question.

The University of Florida's reputation is very strong within the state of Florida. However, its academic reputation outside of the state seems to fall well below its rankings. For example, the Materials Engineering program is a top 10 program according to US News, but it seems more frequently undervalued by out of state employers than its peer programs. UF could do well to market itself better outside of the state.

The only aspect I'm able to consider as the worst thing about the University of Florida is moving in/moving out of the dorm halls. You only get one trip on the elevators, if your dorm hall even has an elevator, and it may be difficult to fit your belongings through th loading dock doors to get inside. Usually the double doors have one side locked. But this only happens twice a year so it's bearable.

Ability for students to time manage. Social life, professional life, exercise, all interefere with students academia on day 1.

The worst thing about the school would be the dorms. The on-campus housing is outdated and in very bad shape, while the rest of the university is maintained really nicely. Improving the dorms would allow students to have better living conditions as well as keep them living on campus longer, rather than having them move out after their freshman year.

The worst thing about my school would have to be the lack of mix between gender. There appears to be more woman than men, all over campus.

The other classes that are going on around us don't ever seem too respectful of neighboring classes, so we often hear what's going on in their classes, and our own. It can be a real problem during exams.

Too centered around football

The large student population because it makes it more difficult to meet new people.

Financial aid office. They are extremely unhelpful/seem like they hate their jobs and the building design is poor, so you can end up waiting in a long line for a service that wasn't the one you were looking for.

The worst thing about UF is also it's best thing: football season. During football season, on any Saturday that there is a home game any activity that involves moving a car is nearly impossible. all the Alums come in to Gainesville to see their beloved Gators wipe the floor with whichever team we're playing. All students must move their cars in order to accomodate the Alumni's tents, SUV, coolers, and TVs. So, the worst part of UF is really just occassional inconvenience.
