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.

 I've got news for you. Physics everywhere at your level is applied math |
| How serious is the greek life? to be totally honest i could give a crap less about greek life and I really dont want to join a sorority or anything...but would i be better served trying to? |
