University of Florida Top Questions

It has a lot of great people and clubs, if you know where to look.

There is something at the University of Florida that everyone notices right off the bat; it is loud, it is boisterous, it is encouraging, it is awe-inspiring, it is something that gives you the chills, makes you feel alive and appreciate who you are and how far you've come. It is the unrivaled Gator spirit: the one tha tbooms loud at every football game in The Swamp; the one that flashes blue and orange, splashed across campus, sprinkled across Florida on license plates, keychains, shirts, jackets. It is the deafening pride in attending such a presitgious, renowned university.

My professors were incredible. Intelligent, understanding, compassionate, they went above and beyond the call of duty to make the material accessable and enjoyable. Dr. Jim Paxson, in particular, changed my life: his class on Middle English and Chaucer was a huge factor in steering me towards Medieval and Language Studies. More than anything else, I brag about those classes with Dr. Paxson.

I brag about the social life. I have made so many new friends at UF that it has really allowed me to be less shy and more open with people. No matter the day of the week, students here can always been seen hanging out with friends- whether they are going to a dinner, having a picnic, going out to a party, or watching TV at home. In regards to the soical life, UF has a wonderful international students program, and I have been lucky enough to make friends from all over the world!

GATOR FOOTBALL! I am kidding of course. We take our sports seriously, but we take our academics seriously as well. Everyone works hard, hitting the books and spending a lot of time at the library. Study groups can be seen throughout the semester, not just during exam times! Besides the academics, the University of Florida has a very quirky downtown area. There are great restaurants, a theater, and plenty of places to get ice cream. There is always something to do in Gainesville, making it a very fun place to attend college.

Whenever I'm talking to my friends who attend other schools, I always tell them that even though the curicculum is extremely rigorous, I always feel so accomplished at the end of the semester. Going throught a semester is always extremely stressful but the end result is always extremely rewarding. I feel honored to go to such a competitive school and know that I am successfull in what I am doing. It is a great feeling of achievement.

Florida has a very reputable sports program, so naturally that is very easy to brag about. However, my favorite aspect of the school is the quality of education for the price paid. Florida is a nationally ranked school that doesn't cost as much when compared to other notable programs.
