University of Florida Top Questions

There isn't a set type of person that would not be able to thrive at the University of Florida. However there are certain characteristics that would hold a student back from thriving not only at the University of Flordia but any establishment dedicated to higher education. Characteristics such as being unmotivated, undetermined, or unambitious will hinder any student in pursuit of a college degree. Also being closed minded and unaccepting are also characteristics that would be unacceptable at the University of Florida as there are a variety of people from different cultures and countries who attend this university.

I think that anyone that is willing to learn a certain trade or skill should attend this school. I am new to the University of Florida, so this question might be a bit redundant. For the most part, if you don't like the warm and sunny weather of winter months that is mixed in with humidity and rain in the summer then maybe this school is not for you. If you don't want to be in a school that offers a great deal of resources and high professional educational standards, then this school is definitely not for you.

People who cant have/make their own fun, city people, and people who don't like getting involved in clubs or activites or trying new/different things.

Although it is not in my belief that anyone can be excluded, I would say that those who are afraid of experiences, shy of discovery, and indifferent about getting lost should not attend. Gators are taught to jump on opportunities, attack new ideas to reproduce innovations, all while taking the risk of leaving your comfort zone to appreciate what you do not know. I do not believe anyone like that exists but, if you are afraid, shy, and indifferent, you're gator bait!

The type of people that shouldn't attend the University of Florida are the ones who have ulterior motives and lack motivation. If Florida's reputation as a party school alone draws an individual to the University then it is not the right school for them. Also a person who lacks motivation towards their academic goals they will most likely suffer in one way or another. If one does not study enough or miss class frequently they will not know their course material and ultimately not live up to their maximum academic potential.

people who arent willing to work hard in their academics.

The University of Florida is a school that anyone can adapt to. Everyone is very friendly and accepting of ideas, race, opinions, etc. The only reason someone should not go to the University of Florida is if they are not a gator fan!

To be successful at UF, one needs to be very hard-working and goal oriented. As Florida's leading public univeristy, classes are hard and require time and effort be devoted to studying and mastering ones field of study. This being said, a person who isn't prepared to work hard to achieve their goals should not attend UF. In addition, the campus is very large and has a huge student body, containing over 50,000 students. Because of this, I would discourage a student who is interested in a small, intimate college setting from choosing to study at here.

If you dont like to socialize, work hard in your classes, or being involved.

Someone who values a small-campus community and classes that are generally small enough to allow collaboration with students and professors Someone not pursuing a degree in fields that are renowned for research Someone incapable of correctly managing time (this will be your ruin at UF) Someone who prefers FSU (conflict of interest)
