I decided to go to the University of Florida because I wanted to stay close to home, but had all of the potential to go to an Ivy League University. Seeing that the University of Florida is the top University in the state and they invited me for a visit when I was in high school I really got to learn what the University had to offer.

I went to UF because I wanted to go to a big university with a lot of students. I also chose UF because of its academic excellence. I loved the entire campus atmosphere from the first time I went on a visit. After my second visit, I was sure that UF was where I wanted to go to college.

This is the only school for which I did not receive a scholarship, and yet, here I am. Why? Simply put, I wanted to utilize my Florida Prepaid and Bright Futures, and I knew and was told UF is a very prestigious school (and it's in Florida.. obviously haha).

Zarna

I decided to go to UF because of the cheaper in-state tuition. However, I thought it was a great school for the price. We're ranked about 36th in the nation, which is phenomenal. We have a WONDERFUL athletics program. We conduct breakthrough research. We have very accomplished professors. You don't have to go far to attend a good school. Sometimes, those in-state are just as good as those out of state.
