Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Other  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment 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. Faculty Accessibility: C+, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

I'm actually loading up my course schedule in an attempt to get out a year early. To put it lightly I haven't been happy at this University. I have advisors who are oblivious to their students and who are only there to push for preprofessional development, but by 'pushing' all they really tell you is to get good grades and attend the pre-health workshops. (The pre-health workshops are run by a guy who had to drop out of medical school and is just there to tell you that pre-health professions are a waste of your time and that you'll be miserable if you choose to pursue one) So, without advisors like you might find at a more student-friendly university you are stuck to navigate the online course signup website alone and the only resources you have when picking classes are the reviews by your student peers or using www.ratemyprofessor.com Most of the teachers are pretty inaccessible. They are all required to hold office hours but either you find the office crammed with students who have no idea what is going on in the class due to poor teaching or a half distracted professor who would much rather just let you sit there and work individually rather than ask questions. To be fair I have had some outstanding (and rare) teachers at this school that are really passionate and dedicated to their students, but at a university with over 50,000 kids a lot of the professors have become grinds themselves and are no longer dedicated to 'teaching' their classes. This is a useful fact for students just trying to make the grade because there is no innovation in the teaching so if you can get your hands on the course material from previous years you're pretty much set. As far as student life is concerned there are a ton of organizations on campus that suffice as resume fillers, but for the most part unless you have an elected position in the club no one is going to take you all that seriously. There are a ton of club sports though that many students are really passionate about and it is pretty easy to join up as long as you join at the beginning of the semester. Housing is a pain in the rear. No one really stays on campus after their freshman year but the off-campus choices are pretty weak unless you're willing to really pay out (if you're an instate kid who's going to UF for free you can consider the price of quality housing to be your tuition) Definitely don't sign onto any leases without talking to current tenants about pest issues or maintenance problems. Not to name names but there is a certain leasing company in Gainesville that owns the majority of the apartment complexes around the university and they are a nightmare to work with. I got stuck in a lease for a year and was miserable. I ended up turning off my refrigerator and just eating/cooking at friend's houses because the bugs were so bad. To sum it up I went to UF because it was free and if I had to do it again I would never have come here. I'm still trying to transfer but its hard to sell yourself to a more prestigious college from a place like University of Florida.

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.
