University of Florida Top Questions

What I consider the worst thing about my school to be its curriculum. I strongly believe that every course in UF is extremely difficult. First, you have to pick the major of your desire but then you also have to take courses on the side that are required to graduate. You would think that the additional courses would be easier because it isn't part of your major but the classes are just as hard. An additional physical science requirement is just hard or even harder than classes in my major. It makes it that much more stressful to graduate.

The worst thing about my school is the very large class sizes.

I attended the University of Florida as a mid-20 something, single parent student ... instructors took the time to understand my situation and while they did not treat me differently than other students they did independently offer a united sounding board that allowed me to complete my degree with greater comprehension and less stress then expected - I had no "worst thing" about my experience at Florida.

There really isn't a "worst" thing about the UNiversity of Florida. Although, I wish there were more parking places on campus.

I feel that at times my school may seem too big. It can feel a little overwhelming at times. I believe this is probably the biggest downside to the school. However, I believe that a student can do their best to make the campus smaller to them by participating in clubs and volunteering. There are many beneficial pros to negate this one glaring con. All the pros are the reason that I really don't mind the size of my school.

University of Florida is very large which often leads to majors becoming very secluded. I know that if I hadn't had an interest in expanding my knowledge of languages and theater, I would not have taken any non-science credits as I had already completed most of my "General Education" credits while still in High School. I would be happier if there were a way to make the art majors more integrated with the science majors.

The worst thing about the University of Florida is that if you live off- campus, many often feel detached. I'm one of these individuals, and since I've moved off- campus, it's hard to keep up with campus life.

The worst thing is navigating the bureaucracy if you have a problem, epecially reguarding schedule changes because you need to communicate between many departments even for menial tasks.

The worst part about my school is having to leave after you graduate!

The worst thing about my school is the amount of people. While at times I truly love the amounts of people and the bustling environment of a large university at times I would like to have a more specialized schools at times.

The amount of control the greek system has on student government.

The great number of students can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you look at it. In various situations, the vast majority of students can be the worst thing about the school. Waiting in line for free Beat shirts, finding at least one good apple left in the dining hall by the time you get there, and trying to find a spot to sit in the libraries or in the student union can be the most difficult things on earth.

The University of Florida is a large public school that maintains faithful fans throughout the nation. On the outside, the school spirit is strong with a football team that's stronger, however attending the school has quit a different perspective. Due to the large student body population, students feel like a number in a 300+ class. In fact, my sociology class doesn't require a name but rather we are assigned 3 digit pin number provokes the feelings of being "just a number" as literally. The facilities are very old, and parking is non-existant.

The worst thing about my school is the strong emphasis placed on fraternities and sororities by the students. A good majority of the people I have encountered are involved in the Greek communities on campus, and many of them tend to only hang out with other members of their fraternity or sorority.

Too much empahasis on greek life

I'd say the worst thing is the almost juvenille sense of school spirit. Granted, University of Florida does have a bit to be proud of, but sometimes the wide spread blind adoration just makes me feel like I'm back in high school. This sort of thing might not bother most, but for those of us who don't really care about football, it gets obnoxious.

I do not really have many negative comments about my school, as my experiences thus far have been very positive. However, if I were to really search for one thing that could be seen as a difficult part of the school to adjust to, it would be the large number of students and faculty that sometimes can prevent a more personal interaction. There are over 50,000 students involved in some part of the university, either as undergraduate, graduate, professional or research students.

parking is hard to find, very busy campus

The worst thing about my school would have to be the pricing of classes. Classes are expensive and they are difficult to pay.

The size. It is easy to get lost in such a large school. It is important for students to get to know faculty and staff and seek out opportunities to get involved.
