I've recently transferred from UF to another state school. HS counselors pump this school up like it's MIT or Harvard, when in realty, they're not even in the same league as Ivy league schools. This school is soo freaking big and you're just another number. Most of the dorms are like 60 yrs old with no AC and most of the faculty doesn't speak English and you feel like they have no time for you because they're doing research. Sure..UF has good athletics, but I didn't come to college to party 24/7 or live for college football. Interestingly enough, everybody underage drinks here, the cops don't care on game-day. Don't believe the hype about UF, go visit other schools in the state before you pull the trigger. I'm now a senior at the University of Miami and loving it. More expensive but worth every penny.

I am a non traditional student (40) and continuously amazed at the level of maturity, kindness, and willingness to help and treat me as an equal. I love this school, the staff, students, academics and culture are outstanding. I am proud to be a member of the Gator Nation.

Super Brilliant
I made the mistake of attending UF my first two years, because of a scholarship. I cannot tell you how horribly backward, racist and anti-intellectual an environment it is. I transferred to Emory and it is literally a world away from UF even though it is only in Georgia. People care about learning, and progress, here at Emory. At UF football, hazing, and trashing President Obama as a "n--ger" is all that goes on.
