Katherine
My school is best known for research, which is a catch-22 because the extreme emphasis on scientific research comes at the expense of teaching and teacher-student involvement. Many professors are pressured to conduct research and publish their findings in order to secure tenure, but this hinders their ability/ restricts their time for effective teaching.

UF is best known for our football team and "friendly" students. Even though our team has not been doing so well this year (2010), the fans are still rooting our Gators and are just as loyal as always. As for our reputation as a party school, if depends on who you are. If you are not the type of person to go out and get drunk every weekend, there are so many people like you and very many options, such as Gator Nights. But, if you are a partier, I promise there are a lot of places to go!

My school is best known for the "Don't tase me Bro" incident. In addition, we're known for the mascot 'Gators' and the National Championship victory in 2006.

Justin
The University of Florida is best known for its academics and of course its athletics because we dominate in class, as well as on the field. The list of majors we have to pick from encompasses anything anyone could want to major in. We have majors such as Packaging Science, Classics, and Pharmacy, which is my major. Not every university offers such a diverse list of majors, but the University of Florida makes sure every student has a chance to succeed in whatever field they are interested in.
