University of North Florida Top Questions

I would say the worst thing about my school is the extra fees one has to pay such as printing, library, parking and so on.

I would first consider attending the community college and living on campus to save money. From the faculty in order to recieve the answer you need you have to be specific with your questions and stay persistant. The food of course is extremely expensive so just in case you don't drive and are unable to go to the store those are the options.

UNF was originally made as an exclusively commuter school in the 1970s. Unfortunately, its nearly forty years of growth and history have not been enough to overcome that commuter culture. In recent years, UNF has seen tremendous growth on campus, with new residence halls, a student union, etc. However, the lingering commuter feeling contributes to underachieving campus activity, lackluster school pride, and UNF not living up to its grand potential.

Not being able to turn left coming out of the parking garage. I have to go all around campus that way.

The worst thing about UNF, besides the fact that eventually, I will have to leave, is the parking services here. They are really strict about parking tickets and parking passes are really expensive.

The worst thing about University of North Florida is no football team!

I would have to say the worst part of our school is how dead the campus is sometimes. This, I think, is because of two main reasons. First, we do not have a football team. It really is pretty horrible. The second would be that we do not have any kind of fraternity, sorority, or campus ministry houses on campus. So I guess those both lead to the worst part of our school: we have a pretty dead campus on weekends and such. I mean there are activities that go on, but it is kind of sad.

The worst thing about my school, for me, is its English program. English is my major at the University of North Florida, however, it does not offer what I am most interested in. The English major at UNF focuses on either Literature or Drama. I want to study English writing or compostion. UNF does not offer an English major that deals with writing, nor does it offer sufficient writing classes. The only writing classes UNF offers are the two composition classes that are general education requirements anyways. I feel that as a university, UNF does not meet my educational standards.

The worst thing about UNF is that it is surrounded by a nature preserve, making it difficult to leave campus if you do not own a vehicle .This means that during lunch or dinner time when you have a 2 hour period in between classes and you hear your stomach start to groan and tell you its starving, you must stay on campus to eat. Unfortunately, every single little store/restaurant/cafeteria is extremely overpriced; so you'll end up paying $8 for a stinkin PB&J!

I hope to be the first person from my family to obtain a degree, but the 15 percent tuition increase will potentially make me forfeit completion of my degree so my family does not suffer. My husband and I pay for tuition out of pocket because the government says he makes too much money to qualify for any financial assistance, but we are barely scraping by. We had to put our child in daycare so I can finish my degree, adding nearly one thousand dollars a month to our budget.
