University of Florida Top Questions

I wish I would have known how big the school the school was, so it would take a little adjusting to.

I wish I had known that classes would be so different than high school.

I wish I had realized that I wasn't going to have a social circle when I went there and that it is very hard to maintain friendships built out of a classroom. If you want to be surrounded by "friends" from classes, you have to find new ones each semester.

I was very happy to be moving on in life when my senior year of high school ended; people were becoming very stagnant, flat, and cynical about how college would turn out. Because of this, I was not sure what to expect from the people at the University of Florida. I was so impressed with the student's intelligence and insatiable desire to learn when I was a freshman. I wish I had known that people at my future university were going to feel the same way about life and learning as me.

I wish someone had told me how important it is to get involved straight out of the starting gate. Gettting involved not only allows you to make friends and surround yourself with people like you, but it also gives you credentials to put on your resume that you will need to apply for internships, jobs and graduate school, as well as for other campus positions.

I wish that I was told that I would be able to take classes but watch them online at my own leisure. However, if I had questions, I would also have full access to professor during either office hours or via email. I was nervous that I was going to be stuck in huge lecture style classes, but this way, I am to create a schedule around my needs, while still getting the help and assistance that I need.

I wish I would have known how much of a role the Fraternities play in student government.

I wish i would have been prepared for all the new people. Although there are alot of new people you have to be really proactive to actually make a friend. If not you just meet alot of people once and nerver talk again.

I wish I would have know what major I was going to chose so I would be more perpared to take the required classes.

I wish I knew how hot the summers were before coming to UF, it would not of made a difference in my choice, but boy does it get hot!
