I am considering attending UF and wanted to know current and/or past students thoughts on the school. I will be entering the performing arts program specifically but pros and cons that apply to the whole university are welcomed.
Are you a junior?
wrong forum man
Yes
What?
Move your question to the University of Florida forum. You are in the forum of their arch rival Florida State.
You will only get “cons” in here.
Why would you assume that? Granted, this isn’t the place to ask about UF, of course, but we don’t regularly trash talk UF any chance we get or anything like that - if anything, people here talk highly of UF, especially when they have the better program.
gelyn05,
Maybe your post was moved by the time I saw it, but this looks like the correct place to me. Anyways, I advise you to look into FSU for performing arts. They have a more reputable program and more funding goes into it. UF is a great school, but they do not support their performing arts program like FSU does. At UF, you constantly hear about medicine, engineering, and business. In my opinion, the performing arts and liberal arts play second fiddle.
As for the university itself, it has a great reputation, but as a parent I have not been happy with the large size of the classes, how many classes are hybrid or online, the long waits for appointments with advisors, and how pervasive the partying is. Not all students are into that, so it’s something to consider.
I’m confused…lol
Of course students at uf party but the problem will only get worse at fsu. The students there still work extreemly hard but fsu has a much larger party atmosphere.
