University of Florida Top Questions

One stereotype at UF is that we have inflated heads from winning three national championship titles in a row.

UF is the best university in the state of Florida

Smart, big partiers, big greek scene. Another stereotype is of Gainesville-residents to be hippies.

A lot of people seem to think we are a huge party school and very arrogant being that we won so many championships recently.

I transferred to UFL from UCF. It seemed to me that many UFL were arrogant because of two national titles.

that they are all smart; they are all athletic

Some common stereotypes include that we are all big party animals. Greek life is seen as a large part of UF and most people will assume that you're in a fraternity or sorority if you go to UF

I don't know that many UF-specific stereotypes; it's mostly the same ones that you would encounter on any campus. Sorority girls are stereotyped as extremely obnoxious, dumb, not very good-looking, and fake. Frat boys are party-animals, STD-infested, slackers whose parents are going to hook them up with a job after college anyway.

The first stereotype that comes to mind is that we are an institution in the state of Florida that has competitive acceptance rates. We also have an amazing sports program (GO GATORS!). The song "We are The Boys" says it all: "where the girls are the fairest, the boys are the squarest of any ole state down our way".

That it is a party school and that all the students do is party. Oh and that all we care about is Football. On the other hand we are also the hardest public school to get into in Florida so we are all thought of as being really smart. Because of this people think that we are stuck up.
