UWF is the best university in Florida.Not so brightEngineering Department
UWF is the best university in Florida... The best thing about UWF is that the challenging accademic environment weeds out the middle-class mediocracy kids who want to drink and party, and the people who strive for excellence remain... UWF is fosteres a culture of creativity and excellence... If you want a party school, then stay away... If you want to be the best, then this is the place for you.

Question
This place is a complete shit hole, ifNot so brightEngineering Department
This place is a complete shit hole, if i had to chose from going to school here again or dropping out of school, I would 100% drop out of school. Theres nothing to do here and the towns an old town that still doesnt have its act together. The dorms are fucking disgusting, theres fungus and bugs crawling throughout all of the dorm rooms. If i were to give someone advice about this college, i would say stay as far away from it as you can. If you are looking for a small school with nothing to do except for study and go to class then this is the right school for you, but if you truly want to experience what a true college is I would stay as far away from pensacola as possible.

Question
UWF is a joke for a college.AverageCommunications
UWF is a joke for a college. i barely survived my first year here due to the fact the dorms are a step above a jail cell. It should be called the University of Weird Florida. You will only find a select few normal people here, and by normal i mean the average college student the ones who like to party and have a good time. Every weekend the parking lots are completly empty due to everyone goes home or to different schools to party. Greek life here is a complete joke. There are no greek houses they have greek dorms. You think a school in florida near the beach would have cute girls, but pretty much every girl is ugly and the ok looking ones are taken. So if you dont like to party and like going on bouncy bounces on friday nights ( they really do that) then UWF is the school for you. If you are a normal kid who wants the real college experience stay as far away from this school as a possible.
