University of Florida thread

<p>Please share anything you know about the university. Clubs, academics, parties, anything. I am applying there and I would like to know what you think.</p>

<p>anything? I know someone goes to UF out there. =)</p>

<p>UF is a very large diverse school comprised of over 15 individual colleges. So, obviously it is hard to generalize….even though people want to categorize an entire school based on a few simplistic metrics. UF offers an absolutely stunning range of majors, and it is hard to find a program that isn’t ranked in the top-50. It is generally regarded as a top-20…or better…public school, though it falls short of what is considered the country’s best publics, like Michigan, Berkeley, or UVa. It is also is an amazing value both in-state and out-of-state, and ranks as one of Kiplinger’s best-values for the quality of education it offers. The campus is beautiful, the weather is great, and Gainesville is a great college town. Sports, obviously, are second to none, and the campus atmosphere is quite electric. It is worth checking out if it sounds like you would be a match.</p>

Actually, UF was second to many last year :)</p>

<p>...not true. It is common knowledge that the afterglow of being the only school in history to have concurrent national championships in both football and basketball lasts a minimum of 5 years...if not until another school accomplishes the same feat!</p>

<p>op, as you may have heard, UF consistently ranks highly in lists of the top party schools. also, its student body includes many of Florida's top students because of retention due to the Bright Futures scholarship program.</p>

<p>anything else?</p>
