University of Florida Top Questions

What's unique about your campus?

Taylor

Some of the best things about the University of Florida include the flexibility of the college; the school has many options for fields of study, so that a student is able to transfer from one major to another without having to change schools. The student body is very diverse so there are many ethnic differences and opportunities to embrace other cultures. Classes are large but teachers are easily approachable and friendly. In addition, it's a large and popular university that is relatively close to my hometown (so that I may come home conveniently to visit when I choose).

The best thing about the University of Florida is the friendliness of the entire Gator Nation. Honestly, when I first become a student I thought that the "Gator Nation is Everywhere" slogan was merely that - a slogan. However, since I became a student, I've traveled throughout Florida and across the country to California and Minnesota, and I've seen Gator Alumni proudly sporting their Gator gear at the farthest points of the country. I thoroughly love how simply having Gator Love in common automatically makes friends.

I believe the best part of attending the University of Florida was that even though the student body was so large, there was such a sense of comradrie and energy. We all had such enthusiasm for being part of a university that many may celebrate for its accomplishments in sports, but which also gifted us with one of the best educational experiences in the country. We were encouraged to grow and discover, and we always knew that nothing was out of our limits or our grasp. I know I always have a friend wherever there's a Gator.

The campus atmosphere is the best. The courses are challenging and push you while the teachers engage and support your growth, creating an atmosphere of academic motivtion. Then, in complete balance to the academic atmosphere, the school spirit permeates through every part of the campus creating an inclusive community. This atmosphere makes a student feel as though they belong and reassures the doubting freshman that thay made the right choice for their future.

The best thing about the University of Florida is the staff. Here we have some of the most knowledgable and well rounded faculty. This is encouraging and makes students want to do well and follow the example of their professors.

I think its location and the variety of academic programs are the best things about my school. Gainesville is built for the college students. Anything that we could possibly need is nearby and available. Also, we have a very wide range of majors and colleges. If students want to change their major, their desired major is most likely here on this campus.

The best thing about my school is the broad amount of majors available! There is something for everyone here. The academic rigor is excellent, afterall the averahe freshman has a 4.2 GPA upon entering the university.

Carrington

Attending the University of Florida is extremely a surreal experience. The many opportunities that the staff and students incessantly offer students here surmount to many different institutions and organizations that provide wonderful jobs and interships. Also, the staff does an excellent job making sure that students stay on track of their major, and if they aren't, the staff does whatever is in their power to designate a student to a major that is akin to both their interests and skills.
