At $635 per 3 credit hours in-state tuition,BrightArchaeology
At $635 per 3 credit hours in-state tuition, the quality obtained from the courses is on par if not below the quality that you will get from a community college. You are taught how to take tests, not to be confident with applying the knowledge in the field of work. Most Professors read word for word off their Power Points, the answers to the Exam questions are all obtained from the Power Points, making most students regret having spent the $200 per textbook when you can pass most courses with an A while not having opened the Textbook.

The University of West Florida Administration, although they may have desk plates with their name and Master/Ph.D., they qualifications are on par with the admins in High School.

The student Code of Conduct should be a top priority to read as a student. Although designed to help victims of abuse, if do not care for ethics, the Student Code of Conduct can be easily abused with no punishment even after admitting to lying.

Question
Ample resources are available for those who willQuite BrightElectrical Engineering
Ample resources are available for those who will to pursue them. Perhaps more on the shoulders of the students in terms of guidance and direction. Many people use UWF as a stepping stone to as big of opportunities this country has to offer. I'm headed to a big company following graduation and know of many other stories in which students went on to bigger schools and big positions. Getting a degree will not make you successful in and of itself and neither will going to a 'good' school. UWF offers much for those who can make it without being spoon fed, the resources ARE there.

Question
This is not the best way to findBright
This is not the best way to find out the truth about UWF. I left comments the other day on here and they have been deleted. There was nothing inappropriate about my comments. I told the truth of my experience of how the office workers are rude, make mistakes often, and act like they don't care if you are a student or not. Obviously this site is biased if they delete comments that they don't like. -or someone from UWF gets on here and deletes anything they don't want people to know.
