<p>I just got accepted for the Fall 2010 as a transfer. Right now I live in Florida and attend a community college. I’ve been at this community college for about a year and a half and it’s pretty lame. Every important class, like General Chemistry for example, has a prerequisite on it for the purpose of making money. Before last semester my GPA was about a 3.7, but last semester I had some stuff going on outside of school that helped me to drop my GPA.</p>
<p>The alternative to UofA is stay here at this community college for another year then try to transfer to somewhere like the UofTexas @ Austin or the University of Florida. I could also go somewhere like UCF/USF, both of which appear to have higher entrance standards than UofA. However, when ranked UCF and USF are lower overall than UofA. Additionally, I’m trying to avoid living in a major city.</p>
<p>***So I’m wondering what are some good reasons for going to UofA? Is the campus nice? How is the education? Is the school reputable - aside from its football team? I keep reading online that it’s a school for idiots (not that I’m a genius). I’m not much of a partier, I just want to meet some good people. How are the people? Apart from that I don’t really know what to expect out of a University…</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
