The University of Florida

Honestly, I really did not want to come to UF. However, after being here I wouldn't want to go anywhere else! There is something here for everyone! Once you find your niche so many doors open. I've grown here is so many ways! Academically the school is the best in Florida. It's definitely more challenging than I expected, but worth it. Although many freshmen classes are boring and huge, the professors seem to be genuinely helpful and caring. In fact, most of my professors encourage students to come visit them during office hours. It is important for UF students to be willing to go out of their way to be known. If you're willing and make the best of it, UF is a WONDERFUL school! GO GATORS!
