Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Economics  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright There are some really brilliant professors here at UF. For every majors. The thing about them is you have to find out who they are and put a lot of time into them to get something out. The campus is nice and Gainesville is nice. An hour to the beach, lots of bars, multiple live music venues, lake walburg close by, ginnie springs and college sports. I rated Extra Curricular activites at A+ because they really are. Tons of clubs, groups, every intramural sport league you'd ever want, lots of free speech activites, church clubs, frats and sororites AND, the SG puts on 4 or 5 free events for students each semester. Ex. they've paid.... Kanye West, DMB, Snoop Dogg,Flaming Lips, Pepper, Less Than Jake, The Roots. AND ton of speakers...Jon Kerry, Bill Nye, Michael Moore, The Guys from MythBusters. They all came here ON campus. Obviously if you like college sports this is a great place. A NEGATIVE : This school is big. Therefore the culture here is also big. That means, people tend to act like sheep, not a lot of individuality(there is some however and most who are individual find in it being eccentrically individualistic). Also, good mid level indie bands rarely ever stop here. Frats and sororities dominate at this school. Literally. They run SG almost every year, their culture takes over most bars and clubs and they are as a majority pretty socially exclusive. If your not like that, then you've got to do some work outside of class to meet people you relate to. I personally would have gone to a smaller artsy school like Flagler if I could do it again. Thats is cause i'm a musician tho... Engineering, business, journalist, pre-med, pre-law and science majors should strongly consider going to this school though. A lot of professors here are excellent. Extracurricular Activities: A+, Individual Value: D Have a Question? Your Response/Question:     To be informed when someone replies to your comment.

For one, the university doesn't even know you exist. As cliche as it sounds, you are simply a number. The university barely fosters individuality; to them, you are just another miniscule addition to their great GATOR NATION! As an english major, I have found it very difficult to get into critical english tracking courses. When I went to register this and last semester, all of the 3000 level english courses were take up. Don't you think it's a bit important to actually be in an english class to see if you like the major and want to continue with it? that's what i thought. so i went to advisors several times and they simply told me to stalk ISIS (our online registration tool) during drop-add week. that really helped- NOT. Furthermore, the university barely supports the arts. They could care less about the humanities and basically want to rid the university of any "worthless creativity." if it doesn't bring in a national championship, why even bother? this is school where Med, Engineering, and Business is put on a pedistal. English on the other hand receives yearly budget cuts and drops important courses. For those that don't think greek life is for you, DON'T COME HERE!!! The campus is dominated by frats and sororities. I don't drink so I find it very difficult to find fun and interesting people to hang out with. And Gainesville is possibly one of the most boring places ever. If you don't have a car and you live on campus, you are basically stuck at UF. Long story short, I knew that I wanted to go to a small liberal arts school for college. But because of money issues, I had to come here. My advice: IF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO A SMALLER SCHOOL WHERE THEY WILL PAY ATTENTION TO YOU--- GO!!! JUST TAKE A LOAN IF YOU HAVE TO, IT IS WORTH IT!!! i wish i had done that.

A common misconception about UF, at least here in the north, is that it is a party school on the beach like U of Miami. It is not... there are farms and lots of them, but the entire city of Gainesville is Gator crazy and really makes you feel like part of something bigger than yourself. Though the school is huuuuuuge it can be a great place to go if you make it smaller for yourself by joining any of the myriad of social groups such as fraternities / sororities , political groups, or intramural sports teams etc. Also, though a lot of classes have a large amount of students in them most professors are easily accessible if you try. However, one drawback is that some professors, though brilliant, are not necessarily as proficient in English as I would have liked. Be sure to scout things out first, Florida is a major melting pot. One of the great benefits of UF being so huge is that every Saturday in the fall is a grand event with you and 90,000 other fans. As an out of state student (from the North) the price was great and so was the change in weather. Academic rigor depends on what you major in, and there are TONS of options.... the choice is yours.
