If you like small schools, UF is not for you. UF is huge! For freshman living on campus, getting a bike will help you lots, unless you really like walking. You can wake up, hop on your bike, and be across campus within minutes. I would recommend this college to avid sports fans. This is the town for you! Everywhere you go, someone's wearing Gator football or basketball gear. This college is great for those who like to join multiple clubs since UF has pretty much any club imaginable. I've had ups and downs here. However, if I had to do it over again, I'd probably not choose UF. I'm more of a small-school kind of gal. I only chose it for the PROTeach program, where you earn your master's within 5 years to teach secondary school. If you like the whole social scene (partying, drinking, the "Greek" life), go here! The quality of teachers really depends on your major. I switched majors because I wasn't impressed with the department. Gainesville is a great little town. There are plenty of delicious restaurants to check out. Plenty of big names come here, such as Diablo Cody, hosts of Mythbusters, and The Flaming Lips. The campus is really pretty and there are several of study areas. |

My college experience was wonderful. While it might be easy to be lost in the crowd with over 40,000 students in attendance, the large student body almost guarantees that there are others that share your interests. I definitely recommend this university to anyone considering going to college.
You have a lot of freedom to change your mind, and change your major. While some schools might only offer a few strong program, almost every program shines at UF. I had friends who changed their minds many times on their majors, and they could move from one nationally respected program to another. The online system for your grades, etc., allows you to "degree shop", so if you're thinking of changing majors, it will let you know what you still need to take to complete the major.
I think UF is very tech savvy. Every dorm room on campus has internet access, and there's wireless access throughout the whole place. You register online, get your grades online, and can check to see the number of people in the class too.
If athletics is important to you, then you'll fit right in. If it's not, you'll be okay too. In addition to the many NCAA sports you can follow, there are loads of intramural sports too. Don't want to compete, but just have fun? There are sport clubs also, which comes in handy when it's something obscure. Multiple gyms are also open, so if you're on campus, it won't be hard to find somewhere to work out. There are pools near the dorms, and also at the athletic centers, so during hot days it's easy to cool off.
The arts are strong at UF, be it dance, music, or visual. The campus is constantly expanding, with new buildings being constructed and older ones being renovated. I witnessed a wedding chapel go up on the lake, and saw the world class Performing Arts center open up. |
