University of Florida Top Questions

The worst thing at UF is the overall lack of diversity. When people mention diversity at UF they often mean exchange students from other countries. The sad truth is that overall the school lacks diversity amongst students as well as faculty. It is a predominantly white Institution and its noticeable once you step foot on campus. Another thing is that UF prioritizes their athletes much more than they do regular students, its pretty sad.

The number of students at this school is insanely large (50,000 in total) which makes for crowded areas during lunch time and in between classes

The worst thing about the University of Florida is how often tutoring companies promote their business outside of classrooms and offer great help for classes yet they only give mediocre review lessons to the average student while promising them a major improvement when really they set the student up for a B at best on most exams.

I consider the worst thing about my school to be its lack of helpful academic advising.

I don't have much knowledge outside my major, but I hate the organization of my major. The teachers tend to be wishy-washy about accepting jobs to the point where our school schedules aren't decided often until the morning we start our classes. I've also seen a couple of teachers that are completely uninterested in their classes work, which is frustrating.

So far, I do not have many complaints about UF. It gets hot, but that's just Florida in general. It can get crowded, but it's a big school and that is one of the reasons it is so amazing. However, I do wish they would inform students more about the scholarships they have and how to apply for them.

Sometimes being at a school so large, finding help in classes can be a bit overwhelming. With so much to offer, getting overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of the school is overwhelming.

I tend to not look at the worst in things, so frankly I possess a lack of information to answer this question.

The University of Florida's reputation is very strong within the state of Florida. However, its academic reputation outside of the state seems to fall well below its rankings. For example, the Materials Engineering program is a top 10 program according to US News, but it seems more frequently undervalued by out of state employers than its peer programs. UF could do well to market itself better outside of the state.
