How is the campus vibe?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Florida

<p>I am a junior right now in Georgia and I have been looking into colleges. I like the gator pride and the academic profile of UF but I have further questions concerning the campus:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is the campus urban, surburban, or rural? (I would like a university where I can walk through quads to get to my classes and hang out on the lawns without choking from automobile fumes.)</p></li>
<li><p>I like the demographic percentages I saw on collegeboard.com. I am bi-racial and I welcome diversity and intergration. Are the students welcome to different cultures or does everyone cling to the familiar?</p></li>
<li><p>As a freshman, will most of my classes be lecture-size or high school classroom size? I prefer lecture size.</p></li>
<li><p>As a freshman, is it better to live in a dorm on campus to meet people? Or an apartment?</p></li>
<li><p>How is the overall attitude of the student body, faculty, and administrators? Do they welcome students from out-of-state?</p></li>
</ol>

<li><p>I’d say it’s suburban. Walking between classes is great - “automobile fumes”, as you described, have never ever been a problem. </p></li>
<li><p>Students seem very, very welcome to different cultures.</p></li>
<li><p>As a freshman you’ll mostly be in lecture-sized classes. This will be the case less and less as you get farther in your major + take classes that not many majors require.</p></li>
<li><p>Live in a dorm your first year, then move to an apartment with the buddies you made.</p></li>
<li><p>Absolutely! No one cares whether you’re out of state or not.</p></li>
</ol>
