Not so bright
This University is a job factory. No one reads their books so the teachers have to repeat everything the book says in class. Students, by putting in little to no effort, cause teachers to dumb down classes and become an audio book instead of discussing interesting philosophy and developing your intuition. Everyone I meet worries about jobs they are going to get after college which imposes pressure on their teachers to give out passing grades and discuss the necessary algorithms needed to survive in a related career instead of instilling knowledge for sake of knowledge itself. Physics here is basically applied math: there is very little intuition developed and little to no philosophy discussed. You will however leave the physics department with great prowess in mathematics. The University of Florida is a great social environment. It is a city of its own with many different groups of people. You just have to be willing to talk to them. There are hipsters, frat kids, nerds, jocks, stoners, and anyone you can imagine. There are a ton of extracurricular activities, clubs, movie theaters, bars, sports fields, and natural environments to enjoy. The Greek life is well represented and football is the blood of the university. I learn more from the library than I do from my classes. But I embrace and enjoy the college environment while it lasts, meeting tons of acquaintances and a handful of amazing people who I will never forget.

Quite Bright
The University of Florida is where art, creativity, and individuality goes to die. There, you are nothing but a cold, stupid number. UF glorifies and fetishizes the football team and Lord Savior: Tim Tebow. The Greek system is a hulking force that strips women of their intelligence, personality, and self-worth. UF touts one of the most repulsive looking campuses in the nation. Apparently, the nadir of architecture (i.e. the 1970's) threw a filthy rager back in the day, and the remains of which, have unfortunately yet to be razed. The surrounding city, Gainesville, Florida, is quite possibly the most soul-crushingly boring town in the country. So, come on and be apart of the loud, obnoxious, and tumorous Gator Nation!

Oh, and the Honors College is steeped in arrogance and social awkwardness- a wonderful combination for a great big bowl of UGH.

The University of Florida is where art, creativity, and individuality goes to die. You are nothing more than a cold, stupid number. In fact, you might as well just drop your own name now and go by your UF I.D. I?m 5638-2231, nice to meet you! UF glorifies and fetishizes its own football team and Lord Savior- Tim Tebow. The Greek system strips women of their intelligence, personality, and self-worth. The university touts one of the most repulsive looking campuses of the nation; clearly, the nadir of architecture (that is, the 1970's) had itself a filthy rager back in the day. Unfortunately, its STD-riddled mess has yet to be razed. The surrounding city, Gainesville, FL, is quite possibly the most soul-crushingly boring town Florida has to offer. So come to UF and be apart of the great Gator Nation!
p.s. the Honors College is a nasty bucket of incestuous and arrogant UGH.
