Overall ExperienceWhat'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.

Pretty Great

They did a pretty good job of giving me financial aid and avoiding loans. Advisers told me that they would be the least helpful in the financial area of my schooling, but they offered the most aid out of any school I applied to.

Parking at University of Florida

Parking Is Awful.

If you can help it, DON'T PARK ON CAMPUS. It isn't worth the hassle. That said, if you live in a dorm, it isn't awful (since it's a different decal area from commuters). Commuters beware! You still have to ride a bus to get to the heart of campus from the Park and Ride lot. Faculty has the best parking, followed by grad students, then on-campus, then commuter. This aside: the scooter parking is pretty nice. It's usually pretty close to wherever you need to be, and there isn't a differentiation between decals. It's still not super easy to find a spot, however.

Diversity at University of Florida

Evenly Diverse School

There are three main ethnic groups in numbers. I have mainly noticed a majority of Caucasians mostly of Floridian residence, which probably make up over half the student body. There is also a noticeable Hindu and Far east nationality, I believe that these ethnic groups combined make up about 30% of the student body.
