University of Florida Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of Florida? Why?

Elaine

The worst thing about the University of Florida is its lack of out-of-state students. Although UF is very diverse, almost every student I have met attended a Florida school. This made it difficult to make new friends when first arriving at the University of Florida. Many students, including myself, continued to hang out with friends from high school. I believe that if I had attended an out-of-state or private school, I would have been exposed to a greater variety of students and more likely to break out of my shell.

I think the worst thing about my school is that it's located in such a desolate area of Florida. The geography is definitely a huge factor when it comes to UF being a party school.

Alexandra

The worst thing about my school is the size of the student body, only in the sense that registering for classes and buying books last minute. This is just inconvenience, and if the incoming student is proactive, they will not face any problems. College is about accepting responsibility and time management. The University of Florida is too big to worry about each student unless they ask for help.

the constant partying as opposed to a focus on the education

The meal plans, they do not offer a lot of variety and the food can be tasteless. Some people would say the class sizes, but I enjoy large classes. The campus is also large, but that is ok because it feels good to walk. UF is also very rigorious academic wise, so it can be very overwhelming and difficult.

Michael

The worst thing about my school is the distance it is from where I live. I am from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and it is a long drive to Gainesville about a 5 hour car ride.

Myriame

The one thing that I considered bad about my school is the fact that on exam weeks theres not one fast food place that is open on campus between the hours of 8pm and 3am. Theres students who are always hungry in between those times that when they take a break from studying its hard to fiugre out. The eone place that is actually opened is a long walk from where we are, and most students just don't want to eat subway every time.

Fraternity boys and sorority girls and binge drinking at tailgating functions, too much school sprit about football

Alejandro

The worst thing about my school is the fact that they want to bump up the tution and make it a private school. I also feel that since the school is so big, sometimes it's hard to receive the help you need.

Sabrina

The classes and course load are difficult. But while they are hard they are teaching properly.
