Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Philosophy  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Quite Bright The Philosophy department at UF is surprisingly superior to what you would think a sports-obsessed public school would manage to have. This is for two reasons: UF managed to pull together a fantastic faculty and two, UF as a whole pulls the brightest students in Florida who could have gone to better schools but choose to go to UF b/c "it's free", and usually philosophy students are smart anyway (I promise I'm not biased). Thus, the phil department is great in my opinion b/c the professors are brilliant or at least nuts enough to make it interesting, and the students provide for good debate and like-minded colleagues. You probably won't find the average UF student here (Greek, materialistic, flaky) which is a nice change. You can absolutely get a quality education at UF, you just need to find the right crowd of people, latch onto the good professors, and watch yourself rise above the rest (the rest being in a beer-induced coma).

A common misconception about UF, at least here in the north, is that it is a party school on the beach like U of Miami. It is not... there are farms and lots of them, but the entire city of Gainesville is Gator crazy and really makes you feel like part of something bigger than yourself. Though the school is huuuuuuge it can be a great place to go if you make it smaller for yourself by joining any of the myriad of social groups such as fraternities / sororities , political groups, or intramural sports teams etc. Also, though a lot of classes have a large amount of students in them most professors are easily accessible if you try. However, one drawback is that some professors, though brilliant, are not necessarily as proficient in English as I would have liked. Be sure to scout things out first, Florida is a major melting pot. One of the great benefits of UF being so huge is that every Saturday in the fall is a grand event with you and 90,000 other fans. As an out of state student (from the North) the price was great and so was the change in weather. Academic rigor depends on what you major in, and there are TONS of options.... the choice is yours.
