University of Florida Top Questions

The university of florida offers a myriad of involvent opportunities for students. The students who participate in these positions will help inform and convince others to get involved. Also, the professors are incredible and there is a positive yet competitive spirit on campus so students strive to do their best.

Unique only to "the swamp" is the close-knit community that is; the students, the school, and the surrounding town. I have taken many campus tours, but only UF had the real college-town feel. Beautiful brick buildings and large trees decorate the campus where students take classes, study, go to sporting events and occasionally party. Sporting events are a time of brotherhood, where sitting next to someone makes them your best friend. And the town follows suit. Everything "bleeds orange and blue" and everyone feels proud to be the home of The Florida Gators.

I truly love the town of Gainesville. It is a wonderful town to spend your college years in, as the entire community is literally centered around the University. There is always something going on for college students, and plenty of networking opportunities for the social students. In addition, the University itself is beautiful. Once the construction of the Colonnade, located next to the Reitz Union, is completed in 2015, the campus will have a very nice blend of modern and historic architecture. Walking to class never gets old, with great scenery, and an overall flat campus with minimal uphill trekking.

Of all the colleges I considered, UF is nationally ranked as one of the best public research universities. Being a research university, all professors are required to actively be participating in research that corresponds with their respective fields. Therefore, as I get more in depth with my major and begin to have the qualifications needed, there will be many opportunitites for me to be active in research that will give me hands on experience in my future field.

The University of Florida is unique since it differs from the surrounding community. There is a large international population here that is focused and driven. You can get lost in your own world while being in a very small country town.

What is unique about UF compared to other schools, at least for me, is that most of my family went to school here and graduated. I was born and raised a Gator. I wanted to go to UF since I was a little kid. I wanted to go where my family went. I wanted to experience why UF was so great. The other colleges I applied with didn't have that unique quality that I value very much.

UF is a very large campus, and it is in a city that is completely devoted to college life and education. The university if also very diverse in terms of the ethnicities of the students and faculty. It also has hundreds of honor societies and clubs, and various sports teams. There are also many research opportunities for undergraduates and graduates to pursue, as the countless colleges and departments have numerous research projects established or starting.

We bleed orange and blue. While of course, I am not speaking literally, I am referring to the school spirit that encompassing our campus on a daily basis. Many college students support their universities, but I have never seen a campus so incredibly united by the essence of UF. We are unique because we abide by academic excellence as well as the memories that we make here in Gainesville. Just by looking inside the Swamp on a Game Day Saturday, you can tell that no other college has got what we have here at the University of Florida.

I chose the University of Florida because of the massive amount of pride in our athletics the students and alumni have. The "Gator Nation" is massive and I have never experienced anything like game weekends here in Gainesville. It really brings the school together as one cohesive body of students rooting for our team and showing massive amounts of school spirit.

A great deal of school spirit, with an atmosphere based strictly on academics, research, and future careers. Go Gators!
