The environment. The environment at the University of Florida is very friendly and enthusiastic. There is so much going on that it is very easy to get involved. You will always have something to do. There are so many diverse clubs and groups that no one gets left out. Also, our sports teams and school pride are among the top 3 in the nation. Our research facilities are in the top 5.

The best thing about the University of Florida is the spirit everyone has. The students are proud to attend the university and the professors are proud to teach there. On game days, the whole town shuts down to watch the gators play and everyone wears their orange and blue to show their support and pride. Even if we don’t win, we hold our heads high because we know we go to the best university there is.

I think the best thing about the University of Florida is that it is a well recognized University. Not only becasue of the titles won in sports but becasue of all the research developments that have occurred there. This helps you make a better impression on employers because they see the University of Florida as a leading school in the states. I also like that there are hundreds of ways to get involved with an organization or club for many things and interests.

The University of Florida makes it a priority to prepare students for life as opposed to simply preparing students for a career. In addition to education, UF goes out of its way to instill a wide array of values that prepare students for more than a future career or position.

The pride of the University of Florida that you can feel from everyone that works, teaches, graduates, and visits this school.

The school spirit here is amazing. We are a very athletically minded school with great sports teams, but the University of Florida is best know for having one of the top academic based schools in the nation. Its a large university that is filled with many diverse people, but it is very easy to make your surroundings as small as youd like. The school does a great job at helping students further their lives into careers for their futures. Its a good balance of academics, sports and fun.

Diversity. There is much diversity in the school which is refreshing, being raised in a multicultural background. It gives one an opportunity to learn, share, and connect cultures and ideas. There are resources for students of all affiliations, whether sexual, ethnic, religious, or otherwise.

The best thing about the University of Florida is the massive reserve of resources it provides. Because it is such a large university, students here have the opportunity to study in a wide array of subject areas, and they have access to the university's Career Resource Center, International Center for study abroad opportunities, academic advisors in every college, one of the best honors programs in the country, and more. These advantages, combined with the extensive diversity of the university, provides for a unique experience that prepares students to be extremely competitive upon graduation.

ORANGE and BLUE!!! The best thing about the University of Florida was the school spirit. If nothing else brought you a sense of unity, being apart of the GATOR NATION was truly somewhere that every student, faculty member and surrounding community had a place in. I have never tailgated until I attended UF and those were some of the most cherished moments from the face paint, to the school chants down to bleeding the school colors in your spirit. This was truly the best thing about being a gator... "If you ain't a gator, then you're gator bait."
James
The large amount of student organiations is one of the best things about the University of Florida. There are hundreds of clubs in which you could possibly meet people who share the same interests as you. Problem is, how do you know what club to join? There is actually a club that is an expert on other clubs and could make a reccomendation for you.
