Question
UWF is an excellent school.Super BrilliantPreLaw and Legal
UWF is an excellent school. Accademics are top notch. This is a really exciting time to be at UWF, as the school is growing very quickly. There are brand new dorms everywhere, and they are building a massive football stadium this summer. There is a wonderful energy on this growing camps. Pensacola is an excellent town. Gallery night downtown, beaches, a lot of bars and clubs. The vinil music venue is amazing.

Question
I currently have a BSBA from another universityAverageComputer Science
I currently have a BSBA from another university and I'm expanding my horizons per-say.
The University is OK. They do have only a 40% graduation rate though and is commonly referred to as U Will Fail or U Won't Finish. Some of the tools they use are not industry standard. Some of the instructors especially the online instructors can get a bit carried away with the way they want things. Some of the online classes you pretty much need to be an English major to follow all the guidelines they want and it's not an English class. I personally think the department heads need to evaluate the instructors classes as an undercover student to get an honest and fare understanding of the way the classes are being taught.
