Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Some schools have certain advantages over others. Small schools give a feeling of community; large schools have lots of resources; private schools are ripe for close academic relationships with faculty; and state schools offer a good value. Well, UF is not your typical state school, and Gainesville is certainly not your stereotypical small town. Because this place is so big, it has all of the libraries, dorms, athletics, courses, clubs, and services you could want at a good price. But if you put forth just a little effort, you’ll find that the University also has more compassionate, down-to-earth professors, locals, and students that any small, private school could ever dream of having.

The best thing about going to a school like UF is that whatever you want to accomplish in life, it is probably obtainable through going to this school. You will never have to worry about not fitting in with anyone because the campus is a huge melting pot. Students are never bored on campus because there is literally always something to do with friends both on or off campus. And who wouldn't want to go to a school where the immense amount of school pride is literally unexplainable? It sure is great to be a Florida Gator.

Financial Aid Guidance - What's That

I tried setting an appointment to discuss financial aid and get an understanding of the letter I received; I was told that I had to go on-line and read that info. Obviously, I tried setting an appointment for a reason. In the meantime, what monies I had available for college are almost spent. Gotta figure it out for next year. Trying to not end up with student loans.

Campus Dining at University of Florida

Dining on Campus

I chose the unlimited five day meal plan with flex bucks as this averaged out to cost <$4 per meal. Meal plans are sufficient for freshman living on campus with limited cooking facilities. Dining halls are sufficient for weekday options, but for weekends I prefered to have more of a variety than the standard cafeteria food. Univeristy of Florida has a good variety of non-dining halls. Some of my favorites are Panda Express, Chick-Fil-A and SubWay. Since I had an unlimited meal plan for five days, I didn't use all my flex dollars. After freshman year, I will probably have a very limited meal plan or delcining budget plan, if anything, as I will be living within walking distance to campus.

Drugs Are Bad

At UF the only time one will see any sort of drugs on campus is at tailgates on saturdays before a football game; other than that, the campus is clean as a whistle.
