I think the worst thing about my school is that it is taken over by the greek life. Seems that everyone is a part of that and if you choose not to be a part of that you feel like the minority group.

The University of Florida has outstanding academics, but the social aspect is lacking. The small town of Gainesville may pose as a disadvantage to attending UF. There are the standard restaurants and movie theaters just a few minutes off campus. However, there are not too many places to go on a Friday night that can appeal to everybody. Sometimes it is better to take the drive home, if it is somewhat close.

The worst thing about UF is the sense of being lost that almost every freshman gets. UF is a large school, and it is inevitable. But, the University works hard to provide many opportunities for you to get to know other students (clubs, dorm events), and everyone is very nice. The classes are also very difficult here, especially the basic classes like Calc 1 and Chem 1. They are trying to get you to fail and "weed" you out of the class. Just hang in there and make one day a week that you will put away distractions and study.

The only bad thing about UF is the pressure to do well. The classes are extremely difficult and competitive, and the professors give no mercy.

I consider the way everyone handles sports to be the worst thing about the school. When we excel, other schools find it difficult to deal with as fans. When we do not excel, we are extremely hard on our teams and individuals on those teams. I believe the mark of a true fan is being able to take the good with the bad. It is not inherently a bad thing. I suppose it just showcases the amount of passion Gator fans hold for sports. But, in my opinion, that is the worst thing about the school.

the distance between some classes, the majority are close together but some can be up to 2 miles away due to lake alice in the center of campus

Entering as a freshmen can be frightening and overwhelming in a school with such an expansive student population. Depending on the major you choose, the classes you are placed may consist of hundreds of students and your professor does not know anyone but the teaching assistant by name. Its intimidating to not know a single person in your classes and to be forced to make friends in a new and unfamiliar territory.

Being focused on both school and athletics at the same time. That is why I am no longer participating in sports.. I would like to finish school well. But now it is impossible to pay for school.

The worst thing is also one of the greatest things, the number of students. Becasue their are so many students all organizations are highly competitive. Yet also having so many students is amazing because every day I meet new people and the competitive nature of the school encourges me to perform at my very best.

The worst thing I can think of about The University of Florida would be the amount of people unwilling to get seriously involved. There are so many different organizations at my school from Intramural sports and Charitties to Quidditch tournaments that our school hosts. People can get involved in anything they desire, yet so many people don't. In a big university like UF if you don't put yourself out there to get involved you will become nothing more than a number and the school will swallow you whole. Get involved and enjoy the rewards!
