This school is the worst.Quite BrightJournalism
This school is the worst. the campus is so small, everyone knows everyone and that may seem like a good thing but in reality it's horrible. people that come to this school didn't get in anywhere else, and thats apparent when your in class with them and they stupid things. i thought it would be cool to try something different and turned down USF biggest mistake of my life! the commons serves the exact same food every single day of every single week!! after about the 3rd week, you get sick of it. don't expect the menu to change anytime soon because the school is losing money. from my freshman class most people transferred out after the first semester because it is sooo boring. They cant afford a football team so homecoming is for the soccer team, the bonfire looked like a spark..just not the place for me. between the classes, the girls, the guys it feels like high school all over again. i'm transferring thank gosh but if you can don't attend this school!!

Question
Worst University EVER.Not so brightDesign Arts - Industrial Design/Graphic Design/etc
Worst University EVER. It's hard to find good art programs around unless you try them. I tried. It was horrible. The teachers were just incapable of teaching me anything, students are weirdos. You really get into this school if you were able to graduate from High School, which is nothing really. The school looks good on a visit, but when you're living here... you're ready to walk home no matter how far you live. I live pretty down south in Florida, and I regret coming here every single day. There are NO parties, and greek life is a joke. Don't bother coming here. I don't believe I will get into a better art program from coming to this school. I am considering switching to UT, FSU, or USF.

I loved the idea of a small school, but this was a joke. Unbelievable. I'm so disappointed about my college experience.

If I could warn someone now, just one person, I would feel much better. Don't come here, the school sucks. The food sucks, the dorms suck, the academics suck. It's barely a University. It's a glorified community college. I'm leaving this school ASAP. Pensacola is so boring, the oil spill ruins the beach and everything gets pretty old. Going out to eat sucks because all of the restaurants are freakish and gross. Basically, please stay far away from this school so your parents won't waste their money like mine did.

UWF was the best school in Florida in the 80's, and as far as i'm concerned, it is still the best.
