University of Florida Top Questions

The University of Florida is very crowded, having approximately 50,000 students. Sometimes it can get very overwhelming, especially when you just want some quite time to yourself.

Student Government elections can get pretty crazy on campus. There are always heated campaigns with insults being thrown by each party. They can get so intense that during one election there were cases of vandalism on some buildings advocating for one party or the other. My fraternity house puts up a banner to show our support for one a specific party and last year some people came by and ripped it down. It would be nice, considering we're college kids, to participate in a more mature election process instead of acting like kids.

The bus system can be a little intimidating to learn and the drivers are sometimes not the nicest people, but they get you where you need to go... eventually.

The worst thing about UF is the size of it. It is great that there's a lot of people but that's also it's greatest fault because, at first, it may seem hard to find a place to fit in and make lifelong friends.

The worst thing about my school is its location. This is a double sided coin. For me, it is a good five hour trip to get home, so it is rather for me. Also, though Gainesville is a beautiful place, once you leave the University, the surrounding area isn't quite so lovely. There have been many armed assaults, murders and other crimes in the surrounding area.

The worst thing about this school is that it is far away from my family.

I cannot think of anything that is that bad.

The on campus dorms are in a fairly bad condition.

It's difficult to get through adminsitration.

The worst thing about the University of Florida is the way the school runs it's system of getting information and access to speak to academic or financial advisors. Since there is an overly demanding student body, it takes time for them to see you and answer your questions.
