The University of Florida
“I feel that the University of Florida hasBrightMechanical Engineering
I feel that the University of Florida has a very good engineering department. The classes are challenging as well as interesting. There are tons of extra things you can get involved in including independent studies, teaching assistant jobs, clubs, engineering projects. The university puts a lot of money into its resources to break new ground.
The social life here couldnt be better. Whatever youre into, clubbing, house parties, or greek life, it is all here. UF has large intramural sports program, a great gym and playing fields. UF football is great, something to do on saturday afternoons.
One thing I wouldnt recommend is coming here as a business major. Both my roomates are finance majors. The classes are all online with a "get them in get them out" mentallity. The professors have too many students to care about them. Parking here is aalso a huge hassle and the surrounding city is redneck and boring for people under 21.

Do yourself a favor and don't come to this university. Take it from me, I grew up a life long Gator. I'm looking to transfer to a better college ASAP.

“I would say thatQuite BrightPolitical Science
I would say that the University of Florida is a below average institution. I feel like I'm receiving a second rate education. The social scene is not much better either. If somebody has the choice to attend a different university, I say do it and don't look back.
