UF is a waste of time and money. My advice is take your money and your brain elsewhere.

Question
UF is the most prestigious college in Florida,BrightUndecided
UF is the most prestigious college in Florida, and thus worthwhile to attend. But with so many students, relationships w/ profs can be impersonal. Experience with administration has been pure indifference. City lacks culture, students are generally racially segregated into homogeneous groups. Weekends consist of drunken revelry, fornication, and good times w/ the GATORS! Frats/sororites dominate. If you want to distinguish yourself, be prepared to study and face competition. LOTS of opportunities, but you have to get out and seek them.

Question
I thought at first this would be theBright
I thought at first this would be the best college for me, since there was a lot of hype about the school. I have all my classes and book paid for in addition to free boarding. I was disappointed that I didn't get the attention I needed and support that I'm entitled too. I was assured that being African American that I would be given additional resources to succeed in this school. I don't like the fact that I'm in classes full of students and there is no professor. I am just sitting there watching a recorded video from last year. I wanted a degree in political science from a prestigious college so that one day I can be a senator. However I haven't learned anything that I can't get for free from a library. This college is a joke and I think they need to recruit more Asian women too. At least I would have something to do.
