University of Florida Top Questions

You should not attend UF if you are not open-minded, driven for success, or lazy. Just getting by is not going to cut it. People who come to the University of Florida with that mindset and attitude usually do not make it past sophomore year, I have seen it happen many times. If you are someone who feel as though you don't have to study in order to pass, this school is not for you.

Someone who isn't familiar with large class sizes, and or someone who is not able to cope with a sprawling campus.

When I first came here, I thought this school wasn't for me at all because I don't like sports, I'm more of a creative thinker than an analytical thinker, and I'm not into partying or Greek life. However, three years later and I feel like this school is my home without having to change who I am. I never got pressured into doing anything I didn't want to do, and I was still able to find a place for myself. Anyone can attend this school.

The University of Florida offers a young student the opportunity to mature, learn, and develop. Students find themselves with an overwhelming number of opportunities (many interesting majors, exciting student clubs, fun parties, avenues for getting fit, etc). Young adults who are unprepared to navigate this terrain of options can find themselves wasting money and time having a good time, but will end their time with little to show for it. Most students stumble in one way or another, but a successful one has to be resilient and self-reflective.

A person who should not attend the University of Florida is someone who needs small class sizes or needs very personalized attention. This university, as great as it is, has really nig classes and profressors do not have the time to attend to all of them.

Speaking as a theatre major, I would advise anyone with the intention of majoring in the performing arts to look elsewhere. I will personally be transferring to the Bachelor of Fine Arts - Acting program at the Florida State University in the Fall of 2014. So much funding from the University of Florida goes to their medical and engineering programs, with little to spare for the arts, and the school is becoming increasingly more connected to Shands, while losing its connection with the Hippodrome Theatre. In addition, opportunity is limited, as undergraduates share productions and stage time with the graduate students.

Anyone could go here, as long as they have a desire to succeed.

Someone with social anxiety should probably not come here.
