University of Florida Top Questions

The worst thing about the University of Florida is the enormous classes they offer. Once I had a Theater Appreciation class with 650 students, and we were required to attend. Trying to keep 650 students quiet in one big hall and focused is practially impossible. Not to mention trying to talk to your professor is extremely difficult. Yes, they have office hours, but they want you to go to their teaching assistants first (who are merely in graduate school).

I feel as thou the worst thing about my college is the fact that it is in a small town. There is little choices on what can explored in Gainesville outside of university affiliated builings. I feel the locations of many other universities are more historical and provide a more unique experience.

The city. While Gainesville is a greaty city for the University of Florida, there is not really much else in the city besides the University (and things geared towards students of the University)

It is extremly difficult to contact various offices and employees within the university. Finding the correct people answer and help solve your problems can be a multi-day, multi-step fiasco.

Very large general elective courses. One-on-one time with professors is difficult.

The only thing that I consider worst about my school is that there are hardly any events or activities for the minority races such as the African Americans, Mexican Americans, and other Hispanic ethnic groups besides what you find in a sorority or a fraternity.

I didn't exactly enjoy my stay at the dorms freshman year because of the overall hygiene and noise. This is something to be expeted on campus but I'm more of a quiet clean person so it was very frustrating to try and adapt to this lifestyle. I now live in an off-campus apartment where I have more privacy and less noise.

Horrible Academic advisors and so large that it's easy to get lost and lose yourself.

the dorms are so run down
