The amazing thing about the University of Florida is its versatility -- it is made for philopsophy majors and sports martketing majors; for liberal arts lovers and hardcore math and science engineers. There is no easy way to make yourself not find a place within the university; the advantage of living in this college town, even if one prefers the city, is that there are people from everywhere that relate to you, what you're interested in, what you believe in, what you want to accomplish.

People that dont like small towns

Individuals who are seeking the small-school experience, or who want a more intimate environment with more personalized attention, should not attend the University of Florida. Additionally, people who have trouble staying focused academically and who will be easily distracted by all of the activities going on at UF (such as the football games and athletics), should not attend this school.

Everyone should attend. We're inclusive.

Don't attend UF if you can't take the heat! In more than once sense. The weather in July and August could, in all seriousness, give you sunstroke if you don't take care of yourself, drink a lot of water and wear sunscreen. The coursework is demanding and comes at you full-force: don't expect to be coddled, but don't expect to be left for dead, either. In the four years I was at UF, if ever I went to a professor for help, I received it ten-fold.

Someone who does not want to be apart of a big team. It is a big school but if you want to be apart of a big family or team then this is the place. Everyone supports each other and everyone has school spirit. However, it is a little daunting at first.

UF places a strong emphasis on the Greek Life and the majority of sutdents who engage in social activities are involved with some sort of Greek house. The sort of person who refuses to associate themselves with Greek life (Sororities and Fraternities) may struggle to develop a social life. It's not impossible, but it can be difficult.

The University of Florida is the Premier school in Florida, and therefore it’s often the first choice for many of the top students in the state. Despite this, I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, especially to those that aren’t willing to put in the work. College is a wholly different experience from high school. To put it bluntly, there’s no one to hold your hand and your professors expect you to know the material before you walk in the door. However, don’t let this scare you away, because it handsomely rewards those who succeed.
