But the biggest problem is the administration. They do not care whatsoever about their students, and just see them as more dollars to put in their wallet. The school offers very little money in financial aid, raise the cost of tution pretty much every year, spend money on things they don't need and the students never asked for to make the school seem "cooler" to incoming freshmen, then have the gaul to call your parents and ask for donations. A prime example of the administration's care for the people attending their school is the parking situation. For the past 6 years or so, students of the school have been complaining that there isn't enough parking for them. They keep accepting more students than they have space for, but make no attempt to accommodate them. Instead, they spent $6 million on a pool/clubhouse for the underclassmen since they kept going over to the most expensive dorm to use the pool. And they built it over a parking lot. Whats worse is that you can buy a premium (blue) parking pass that allows you to park in the several lots near the campus, but most of the spots in most of the lots are for faculty and vendors only, which is a huge rip off.
Then there's the AP classes. The school only accepts very few of them from high school even if you passed the test. I had to take Literature over again my first years because even though I scored a 4 on the AP test. I only recommend the school as sort of a community college. Go there if you have to, get an AA or AS and get out before you're stuck with so much debt and disappointment, you can't go on.
In the computer science program, you have to take classes in a certain hierarchy and you have to take one class before another class, and another class for some other class. It seems like there are prerequisite classes for everything. What's even worse is that if you don't get into a certain class right away then you are out of luck and have to wait until the next semester. There will only be like one teacher teaching a certain class that you need to take as a prerequisite for the next class, and the class will only be offered like one specific time during the week. For instance, last semester I had to take Java class and it was only offered in a Monday/Wednesday/Friday class at exactly 1:00Pm. If you could not take that specific class then you were just out of luck. Also with that Java class, I had to take Visual Basic as well, and that was only offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2:00pm. This meant that I could only take classes on those certain days or else. It is because of this school's rigid structure and non-flexible class hours that many students drop out of the school: 95% of the classes at UNF are in the day time, and they have very few if any online or night classes. This makes the University almost impossible for anyone that is working to attend the University. After all, since most jobs are 8am to 4pm, 9am to 5pm, or 10am to 6pm, this makes working full time and going to this school almost an impossibility. This school is almost impossible to attend if you are poor. I had to leave UNF and attend an online University because it would not allow me to work.
