University of Florida Top Questions

They are the best!

My classmates easily fill the title of Rowdy Reptiles on game days, stuidious students during exam week, and everything in between.

There is all types of students at UF so I don't think anyone at all would feel out of place personally because there is clubs for everything and I mean everyhing. People honestly wear whatever they want to class. UF is probably one of the most politically aware and active colleges.

There is so much diversity at UF. Any type of race, background, or culture you can think of attends UF. I don't think anyone would feel out of place, there is a spot for everyone on campus. Students wear a variety of clothing to class. Some just wear sweatpants, but others like to wear jeans. There is a wide array of clothing worn. Students of all kinds interact with one another. They have come from all around the world to attend UF. Many of the students are politically active and show this in and around campus.

There is a lot of diversity in the student body at UF, so I don't feel that anyone would feel out of place. Whatever you are (race, religion, sexuality, etc.) you can find an organization for it in which you can meet others like you. What students wear to class varies a lot, some wear extremely casual wear (sweat pants, hoodies, etc.) and others dress up nicely with heels and nice jewelry (etc.), so it really depends on the person, nothing would really be out of place. In my experience, most students are from Florida, though are a few from other states as well as other countries. The main places people seem to be from are South Florida (the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area), Orlando, and Tampa. Students of different backgrounds definitely interact with each other, whether in classes or through organizations. Some students are politically active and some are not, it really depends on the person.

Diverse is the only word to describe the students at this university. The number of enrolled students numbers well into the thousands and there is too much diversity to label the students. Every individual will find like-minded peers as every group is represented well. There is virtually no chance of feeling out of place at this school. One of the hallmarks of this school is its diversity and I find it impossible to respond to this prompt.

Unique and driven.

In my experience as an active member of the LGBT community, I can honestly say that the campus is incredibly accepting and people in the community are almost always welcoming. Surprisingly enough, it isn't uncommon to see people of differing perspectives interacting in a positive, friendly manner. Everyone seems to be understanding of differing views, beliefs, and lifestyles.

The students at my school are incredibly diverse. While it is well known that a large portion of UF's students are from South Florida it doesn't affect the overall diversity of the school because South Florida itself is very diverse. I've had classes with people that coincidentally lived within 4 blocks of my home in Miami and I've had classes with international students from all over the world. The good thing about UF is that there is a place for everyone; with so many organizations and clubs it's difficult to not find at least one appealing. There are religious organizations with megaphones and crosses standing alongside the occasional domino players and fraternities tabling for pledges. The diversity of our students is something I am genuinely proud of but at the end of the day we are all one family. We come together at our highly popular sporting events proudly wearing orange and blue.
