In high school UF was built up so strongly like it was the best place in the world. It most certainly is not. If you take classes that are big, then you will never even meet the professor, much less get a question answered. If the class is less than 100 people then you will probably have a TA, who probably has very little teaching experience.

UF is so big that you will probably not have more than one class with the same person, making it very hard to meet new people. there is no social hierarchy like high school except that fraternities and sororities hav all of the fun. if you do not join a frat, which costs quite a bit of money and u dont usually even stay in the house, then you probably wont start having fun untill junior or senior year.

If you are someone that is the life of the party and is very outgoing, then you will have some fun if you meet the rite people, or join a greek club. if you are at all timid or quiet and are waiting on an upper-classman to take ur hand and introduce you to the college life, then keep waiting because that doesnt happen.

wen you come to UF you are basically on your own and you end up getting so bored that you study all the time, which is kinda a good thing but not so much wen its all you ever do. i moved here from jacksonville expecting to be having fun and partying every weekend at the

number 1 party school
, but im too poor and low class for a fraternity and all i do is study all week and drive home for the weekend. and DO NOT get a meal plan of any kind!!

ALL MEAL PLANS AT UF ARE SCAMS!!!! u will end up payin for waaayy more food then u actually eat, and u can save some money by just paying cash wen u eat on campus.

responseSorry, but you sound like a complete idiot. You are upset that there is no social hierarchy like in high school? Are you serious? I doubt being poor is the reason you have no social life. I went up to UF twice to visit friends who were not in fraternities and I ended up going to more parties and meeting more people in those two weekends than I do in a whole year at home. But that still shouldn't have anything to do with your rating of a University. The actual education you're getting should be your top priority. I would tell you to get a life, but you clearly have already stated you don't have one.
