Some schools have certain advantages over one another: small schools give a feeling of community, large schools have lots of resources, private schools are ripe for close academic relationships with faculty, state schools offer a good value, and so on. Well, UF is not your typical state school, and Gainesville is certainly not your stereotypical small town. Because this place is so big, we have all the libraries, dorms, athletics, courses, clubs, and services you could want at a good price, but if you put out just a little effort, you’ll find that we also have more compassionate, down-to-earth professors, locals, and students that any small, private school could ever dream of having. For an incoming student coming from a small town, however, this may all seem a little overwhelming at first. There are so many people here that sometimes things take a little time. For instance, you can’t just waltz into your college dean’s office and expect to see him instantly, like you could expect to see a high school principal. Just realize that at UF—or anywhere else you decide to go—there will be hard times. Nobody ever said college life was easy, but in a place like Gainesville, many of these hard times may often seem irrelevant—when you’re meeting so many beautiful people, doing more cool stuff, going more places, learning more things, and having more fun than you have ever had in your life. That, my orange-and-blue friends, is why they call them “bright college days,” and in your final days when you look back on your life, you may be hard-pressed to find any brighter memories than your time and experiences at UF.

Greeks Taking Over the School
B-
As a non-Greek, I can tell you Greek life is definitely a big part of our school. Though it doesn't make up most of the school, it does have an ample amount of power in the student government. Which is not what non-Greeks want. However, they do provide good parties so it works out. |

Studying at the University of Florida
B
University of Florida is a wonderful college that has years under it's belt helping students succeed in the real world. However, with all it's experience the University still needs some work. Though there are ample amount of study areas and different programs to get into, actually learning the material is quite difficult. Most of the professors don't actually teach you anything. You have to take the time outside of class to really grasp the material. UF needs to work with their professors in bettering how us students can understand the knowledge they are laying on us. Other than this, the University lives up to it's reputation. |

Top Notch
A
The facilities at UF are great! There are about three gymnasiums. The Southwest Rec center was just renovated this month! The only downside is that it can get a bit packed... The Reitz Union holds many events including Gator Nights and various performances from diverse student groups. |
