University of Florida Top Questions

Overall I love this school. While there are things that can be improved there are many more wonderful things the school has to offer. The free services (such as the infirmary, gym, counseling, job training etc) on campus are a blessing for any student. The town also has many places to eat on and off campus, many of which are vegetarian/vegan friendly. The school spirit can be spotted at any sports game or school event. The night life can be a lot of fun if you are at the right place with the right people. The teachers are helpful if you go to them for help. I personally believe that the education is worth ever penny.

I just enrolled in the summer session here at the University of Florida. The campus is beautiful, and on top of that I have met really awesome teachers and students. It's a great feeling to know that I am getting a great education with people who also strive for the same goals!

Attending the University of Florida is an opportunity of a lifetime. The Gator Nation has so many opportunities for advancement that can tailor to each individual person. Through programs offered at the University of Florida, students gain a unique and amazing experience that will shape them into the person they want to become. The campus is beautiful and makes you want to be outside all the time. The culture at UF is diverse and exciting because every student is proud to be a Gator. Although the classes can be very challenging, they test a students limits and are rewarding upon completion. The only complaint I have ever heard from students is that parking at UF for classes is not good. However, the bus system is amazing and buses pass by each stop every ten minutes which lessens the parking issue. The University of Florida may be a large school, but there are so many ways to make it feel small. It's easy to find a place where you belong because there are clubs for virtually any interest. The environment on campus is warm and inviting, and not just because of the weather. The faculty and students at UF are friendly and always wiling to help. I have had an amazing experience at UF and gained relationships that will continue after school once my time at college is over. When I tell people I go to the University of Florida, I say it with a smile because I know they are impressed and because I am proud to be a Florida Gator.

Good Scholl

This is the perfect place for college students. There are always various events going on every week and the coursework is rigorous. The university is quite diverse and will give you a better feel for people that come from different backgrounds and cultures. Classes are large, but there are plenty of resources available to help you succeed. It is an honor to say that you are part of the Gator Nation.

The University of Florida is an excellent school. I have had the best four years here and am starting graduate school here in the fall. I would recommend it to anyone.

University of Florida is a great school. It is affordable and has a high reputation. Is fighting to be in the top ten Public Universities in the United States (it is right now at 14). UF has opened my eyes and showed me that there are a lot of opportunities in this school, whether it is for research, internships, clubs, organizations, scholarships, combined programs, study abroad, etc. I am really happy that I decided to come to UF.

University of Florida is an amazing school that opens up so many opportunities for students, both academically and socially. Academically, you will be challenged and pushed to be the very best version of yourself. I have already learned so much in my two short years here thanks to the amazing professors, wide variety of majors and classes, and tutoring supplements available to every student. Not only are we a top 15 ranked public university, but we also offer a wide variety of on and off campus organizations and events for students to get involved in. As cheesy as it sounds, there actually is something for everyone here at UF.

University of Florida is an aazing school full of oppurtunities. This school really gets you prepared for the real world and gives you the tools you need to successful. If i could go back and pick a different school, I would not.

It's great to be a Florida Gator. There is no better feeling than waking up on a Saturday morning during Fall Semester and hearing the band and a roar from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium no matter where you are on campus. There is nothing prettier than the site of Orange and Blue wherever you go, whether it be just walking around campus or even at one of the many Publix Grocery stores in Gainesville. It's not just a University, it's a way of life for me. Being a Gator was something I chose but the effect this school has had on me in the very short two years I've been here as been something I could never describe. It really is something you have to experience yourself. From my very first tour as a Junior in high school when I first stepped inside that Stadium and laid eyes on the beautiful bricks that make up the buildings, I knew the Swamp was where I wanted to call the four years of my college experience "Home."

UF...University of Florida...the Gators...well. Those are buzzwords in the state of Florida and University of Florida is very highly regarded. However, anywhere north of the Panhandle and you'll soon understand UF is Just Another Big State School. The reaction I get is favorable to neutral, even from those not in-state, however. The size of the school doesn't seem to get in the way of good social life for me, though. Only about 30{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of UF students are in Greek life (and that is counting multi-cultural Greek life) so 70{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} of the students are unaffiliated, try as Greek life might to exert influence over most aspects of the overall student conscious. The key to being involved is to look for on-campus organizations advertising through Facebook or the Alligator, leisure courses at UF, and those things affiliated with respective on-campus organizations. An experience I will always remember is the Underwear Run my freshman year. For those of you who don't know what that is, it's basically a short run around the middle of campus in your underwear. If you're down for random, outrageous experiences then UF is definitely a good place for that. An advantage of such a large campus is the amount of people doing their own individual things. So, once you look up and around at flyers on campus, there is everything from talks on socialism to Underwear Runs being organized and held. Overall, UF will have given me the good, the bad, and the indifferent times of my life. It has at least allowed me an environment to explore many different possibilities and access to a variety of people without judgment.

I honestly can not name one "best" thing about this school. I truly love it here, and there are way too many positive attributes to this college. One thing I would change is the student government system. It is a bit corrupt. The school is just the right size, in my opinion! It is a larger school, but you see people you know everywhere. Also, you can always reach out and get to know your professors. When I tell people that I go to the University of Florida, they usually react positively (even if they are from a rival school) because it is well-known as one of the top public universities in the nation. Most of my time on campus is probably spent in Library West, the main library on campus and my favorite study spot. The college town is AMAZING! Gainesville is definitely run by the college. It's a small town with lots of people! They definitely cater to the students, with many clubs and bars, and restaurants and stores that are open MUCH later than usual. This is ideal for me (and any other college student) that ends up rushing around at the last minute! My opinion of the administration is pretty neutral. I have had good experiences and bad ones relating to medical withdrawals and the disability resource center. Other than that, I have not encountered the administration too much. The biggest recent controversy on campus is probably just the last student election. The Unite party (mostly Greek run) somehow always wins, despite being the minority and having corrupt ideas. They even do things like throw out stacks of he student-run newspaper to prevent students from reading anything negative about them (...but really, they didn't even recycle the papers!!!) A lot of students complain about the student government and elections when that time rolls around each year. This is probably the most frequent student complaint. There is SO much school pride on campus. Go Gators! The university has some unusual quirks about it, but I can't think of any off the top of my head at the moment. They are mainly urban legends about campus landmarks and such. The experiences I will always remember include my first Gator football game, and taking two specific classes. My first football game was just amazing. It blew me away with the amount of fans having so much fun together in the stadium (and I'm not even a big football fan!). Also, I will always remember my Educational Psychology class and my Comparative Psychology class. I took Educational Psychology my very first semester, and I had a moment where it just clicked that psychology was what I wanted to do. It prompted me to change my major! Comparative psychology was a similar situation, except it helped me realize the sub-field of psychology that I knew I wanted to work in. Also, both professors were amazing and friendly, and got to know me very well.

It is an awesome school , where u will gain a lot of knowledge .Most of the professot are willing to help you out in any problems u have . The football team is amazing and the game are very very eciting . The school is really big , beautifull and is a place where u can feel at home.

I love attending this school to be honest. I love the environment of the campus. I've met many students from different parts of the world and it's nice to meet people of another ethnicity or culture. It's great to be within a diverse community. The faculty has been great and I've learned a lot. I've had personal growth and learned how to view other perspectives and maybe even taking those into my own.

The University of Florida is an awesome institution. It is the flagship University in Florida and has earned that titled. From leading in sports and academics to research and community service UF has every indication of being a public ivy. Not to mention that our school pride is out the door! And don't let the numbers fool you. We might be one of the largest universities but that's just another way to say we have a lot of opportunities at your fingertips because with just the over 900 student organizations to begin with there's definitely room for every student to find their niche.

The University of Florida, home of the Gators, is the best school in Florida. This college town is filled with opportunities just for students. As the center of Gainesville, the campus has an old school feel with red brick building and Spanish moss hanging from the trees. While the amount of students is large, up to 50,000, the administration does its best to make sure everyone's needs are met with things like free counseling, the number one Career Resource Center in the nation, and free tutoring in many subjects. With recent cuts in our budget, a few programs are being downsized like our Computer Engineering Department. However, this school is still worth a look. Known as the Harvard of the South, the tuition is great and the financial aid options for all students is excellent. Be prepared to bleed orange and blue as a UF student, because every one of us is proud to be part of the Gator Nation.

Alot of smart people, has a great reputation with a strong athletic program too.

I like it here, but it can be hard to adapt to because it's so large. However, because UF is large it has an extremely diverse student body which is reflected in the large number of extracurricular activity. Anyone can find something that suits them here. Gainesville is a college-friendly town so off-campus shops often have student discounts and the public transportation is very convenient and free to students. Almost everyone has a lot of school pride and it's hard to walk down the street without spotting some kind of Gator paraphernalia. UF is full of opportunity to get involved and anything can happen.

I have really liked my classes so far at UF. All of the professors are very passionate about what they're doing. I find myself wishing that the classes were of a smaller size at times. However, I had always wanted to go to a big university, and UF is just that. I am an out of state student from the North and am loving the warmer weather. The football games in the fall are an awesome experience, along with all of the other sporting events. Gainesville is definitely the ultimate college town in every way. There is ton of school pride, both on and off the campus.

There are so many things to say about UF. First and foremost, it's a great, diverse campus. There are tons of different types of people that it's nearly impossible to not find someone you can relate to. The people I've met have all been fantastic and incredibly distant from what people at other schools stereotype the student body as. The town is definitely centered on the college, without UF, Gainesville would have no draw, but because of UF, the town is very student-friendly.
