University of Florida Top Questions

The worst thing about the University of Florida is the enormous classes they offer. Once I had a Theater Appreciation class with 650 students, and we were required to attend. Trying to keep 650 students quiet in one big hall and focused is practially impossible. Not to mention trying to talk to your professor is extremely difficult. Yes, they have office hours, but they want you to go to their teaching assistants first (who are merely in graduate school).

I feel as thou the worst thing about my college is the fact that it is in a small town. There is little choices on what can explored in Gainesville outside of university affiliated builings. I feel the locations of many other universities are more historical and provide a more unique experience.

The city. While Gainesville is a greaty city for the University of Florida, there is not really much else in the city besides the University (and things geared towards students of the University)

It is extremly difficult to contact various offices and employees within the university. Finding the correct people answer and help solve your problems can be a multi-day, multi-step fiasco.

Very large general elective courses. One-on-one time with professors is difficult.

The only thing that I consider worst about my school is that there are hardly any events or activities for the minority races such as the African Americans, Mexican Americans, and other Hispanic ethnic groups besides what you find in a sorority or a fraternity.

I didn't exactly enjoy my stay at the dorms freshman year because of the overall hygiene and noise. This is something to be expeted on campus but I'm more of a quiet clean person so it was very frustrating to try and adapt to this lifestyle. I now live in an off-campus apartment where I have more privacy and less noise.

Horrible Academic advisors and so large that it's easy to get lost and lose yourself.

the dorms are so run down

It's so big that sometimes it's difficult to make it to some classes on time.

The budget cuts that the acedemics have to take because of the state's economic state. It's sad to see professors lose their jobs and graduate programs being cut because the course of study isn't as popular as majors such as Business or Engineering. Also, with UF's atheletic program doing so well and making so much money, it makes it even harder to watch faculty lose their jobs.

The worst thing about the University of Florida is by far the budget cuts. Not only are many colleges within the university suffering, but the students are getting hit even harder. Unfortunately due to the state of the economy budget cuts are virtually inevitable.

I consider the worst thing about the University of Florida to be its large size. Although this allows for more opportunities such as a wide varity of clubs, activities, and career possibilities, the size is sometimes overwhelming. It is difficult to get involved in classes where you are one of 500 students in an enormous lecture hall. It is also more difficult to find close friends because of the large student population.

the availability of classes

The worst thing about my school is all the partying that takes away from your education. You need to balance your work and fun well if not you will end up failing.

I consider the financial aid help to be the worst thing at this school.

N/A

The worst thing about my school is thr blatant favoritism that goes on. The same people get cast for everything. Sure, they're hard workers, but there are other hard workers that are completely overlooked.

THe worst thing about UF is the large class sizes and the strong emphasis professors place on research over teaching.
