UWF's Pre-Law program is character building and teaches you how to work hard and think critically... You can enter just about any field with the Legal Studied / Pre-Law degree from UWF.

Excellent school. I went to FSU, and then moved to UWF. Accademics are top of the line.

I never really liked the thought of college in the south to begin with. Even big schools like Alabama, UF, LSU and etc might be ok, but UWF has one of the worst university atmospheres I have ever came across.

UWF is in Pensacola, 3 hours west of FSU. At first it seems chill and little different, but its really not what you think its going to be like. The campus looks like ****. The sports fields all look like ****. The trees arent taken care of. It's on a nature reserve which is probably one of the worst places to put a university. There is some team called the Pensacola Pelicians who have a stadium on campus and are some beyond farm league team that nobody goes to see.

The commons is a **** hole. The weirdest people in the world hang out on campus. Almost nobody is smart at UWF. Even class is ******. People aren't focused on learning and people that come to class act like they don't give a ****. Class isn't even interesting at the upper level. UWF admits anyone who graduated from HS And has no academic standards which is why so many dumb people come to school here.

Organization wise, well you can join some christian group since there is a **** ton of them. You can be in CAB, or RHA, or some random bs, but none of that will help you get to grad school even though a lot of people claim that doing all this stuff does.

Greek life is retarded. Most of the greeks here dont know what the hell they are doing. They try to run everything like they do but dont get any success. Greeks throw ***** parties at places like cabanas, mugs and jugs, and all these other sketchy places. Most greeks dont care about school. Some are involved on campus but then again theres not much on campus to be involved with thats actually important.

But then again there is NOTHING to do in pensacola sides the beach and that's ****** due to the oil spil. Nearby towns are Tally (3 hours), Mobile (1 hour), Lousiana (like 4-5) and Atlanta (5) but you come to UWF to spend your time there, so it kinda defeats the purpose to go to a college just because its close to another college.

Overall, UWF was fun for 2 years since I was really clueless about life when I came here. But now im peacing out. If you cant make it into any major university of Florida, I suggest just packing your **** up and going to Arizona State that accepts just about anyone.

It took me a lot of struggling and bs to learn at UWF and if you want a college where you can have fun, learn and make something out of yourself, UWF defiantly isnt. It was the best 2 years of my life that i NEVER want to do again.

UWF is the best university in Florida... The best thing about UWF is that the challenging accademic environment weeds out the middle-class mediocracy kids who want to drink and party, and the people who strive for excellence remain... UWF is fosteres a culture of creativity and excellence... If you want a party school, then stay away... If you want to be the best, then this is the place for you.
