Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Biology  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright UF is okay. Its nothing special really. The overall experience for my first semester of university life is one that seems as though could have been achieved anywhere else. Imagine a highschool schedule loaded with AP's and a somewhat greater amount of time to study. If you take physics, know that the labs are brutal and that there's never enough time to finish... so try doing work ahead of time (do the lab on your own time before the class) - its the only way to have a chance at an A in the class. If I got better financial aid from U Miami I'd go there. I think USF might have been a better choice. And the Gator insanity gets quite repulsive after a few weeks. You can't escape it. Some people like it. I don't. When you do come to Gainesville try getting a NEW apartment. Talk with other tenants and find out about pest control problems. Do not sign anything longer than a 6-month lease. A car is good to have. A bike is necessary for class-to-class transit and the occasional 10-15 minute ride to one of the two Wal-Marts.

My major, my job, my clubs, and my fun are all the result of me going above and beyond the average student and LOOKING for opportunities. This all may sound obvious, but many students enter UF and become uninvolved or disenchanted because they expect things to come to them, which will NOT happen at this University. This is either a great thing or a bad thing, depending on your personality. Once here, the coursework can be as hard or easy as you choose. Do well, think for yourself, if there isn't something here (which is rare), create it. I designed my own major and conduct my own research. It's all possible at this huge university.

Either you're in a frat or you're not. If you don't drink, you're pretty screwed when it comes to the weekends, because Gainesville isn't the most conducive city for those of us who are sober. The weather is beautiful (as are the girls) but most of the people I have met have been shady, shady, shady, and waiting to screw you out of whatever they can.

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.
