Junior: Florida state has a beautiful and diversified campus. They have so many opportunities for students all of interests. Most of the professors are so understanding. I have a chronic illness and have had a great experience with professors here. FSU is also great about inclusion and making everyone feel welcome. They have a zero-tolerance policy for any behaviors that hurt others. I’ve made so many life-long friends here. Because it’s a big university, you have people coming from all over. It’s so nice to meet people like you, and different. I would definitely recommend this university to anyone with passion. FSU is a huge sports school and the school sprint is phenomenal and contagious!...Read 7,314 Reviews

Senior: Miami has been a great place the past few years for me. As a transfer student, coming in not knowing anyone, I have met many types of different students from hard working backgrounds. The professors are very much committed to getting to know everyone in their class, and not just going through the motions as a mundane robot you see at some larger schools. In my experience the average class size outside of your one or two 100 level class is between 5-30 students. ...The campus is beautiful. Everywhere you look is palm trees and clear skies (with the exception of your occasional rain shower) the university does a nice job maintaining the buildings and surrounding vegetation. ...Food wise the options aren’t the greatest. In the past few years there has been an attempt to bring in healthier options, but for the most part the dinning hall and food court include your average Starbucks, subway, panda, so on and forth. ...Safety campus is very safe Never had any issues.

Sophomore: I've really enjoyed my experience at Florida Southwestern State College! I have taken all of my classes online due to the pandemic, so I unfortunately cannot offer much to say about the student life aspects of this institution. I can say, however, that the classes I've taken have been very enjoyable, informative, and manageable, and that the professors have been a pleasure to work with. Its staff members are also kind and always willing to help. I have visited the Charlotte campus a few times, and its scenery and easy navigation make it a pleasant place to visit. ...The only downside I have experienced is a lack of classes that I am interested in (I am planning to transfer after I earn my AA and pursue linguistics) and unavailability of listed classes. Regardless, I would certainly recommend this college for anyone pursuing a post-secondary education. It is definitely a good place to start if you wish to earn your AA and transfer to a university afterwards...Read 1,583 Reviews

Sophomore: There's a reason the University of Florida is the top public university in the state. The academics are unbeatable, athletics are well-rounded, the campus is beautiful, and community and experience of attending UF is amazing. People will say there is nothing to do in Gainesville, but because it is predominantly college town, there's a lot to do catered specifically to college students, you just need to know where to look for it! There's a lot of beautiful trails and springs in the area if you like exploring nature as well. Lots of local restaurants and businesses located within close proximity to campus, and many walkable from campus. The student body is highly ambitious and involved, so you'll have no trouble finding people to study with or with similar interests. Overall, the University of Florida is one of the best public universities in the state and nation, and all the hard work put into getting in is worth it!...Read 7,693 Reviews

Freshman: What I appreciate about Bethune Cookman is that it was created by a black woman at a period when that was not very common. I also enjoy how tiny the campus is, but I would want to see more funds allocated to the institution. I would want to expand the campus a little larger and use buildings that don't just sit there collecting dust. There are a lot of opportunities for the school to renovate and put this historical school back on the map. For one thing, HBCUs demonstrate to the African-American community that individuals of color can attend college and do great things. The black college experience demonstrates to the community that individuals of color can overcome stereotypes and value their education. When African American students return to their communities, they bring with them their college experience. Everything they've learned in and out of the classroom will be critical to their survival...Read 1,519 Reviews

Freshman: The University of Tampa is a beautiful school. The administration really does make an effort for freshmen to get acclimated academically during their first semester. The main challenges I have faced are housing and scheduling classes. To put it quite plainly, there is just not enough housing for all the students. Even the housing that is provided, is just not very nice nor clean. The registration process for classes was extremely difficult. The website was crashing, classes were fulling, and all of this was going on while I was in a current class. Now, these two challenges are very annoying but they are manageable.

Alum: Having attended the University of Central Florida over ten years ago, I would have to say that it was a fantastic school. The education was superb, the campus was always lively, clean, and had a great atmosphere. The student resources were always reliable and were available whenever you needed them. Many things, including technology, have most likely changed in the last ten years am I'm willing to bet the resources are even better now! The diversity on campus was evident from the many different types of people who attended and from the faculty. The food on campus was great, from what I remember there was at least a Smoothie King, Subway, Qdoba, and a Chick-fil-A! The gym there was also huge! The campus was beautiful and always a pleasure to walk around. Getting from class to class was easy, albeit very hot in the summer, and you definitely get your steps in! The parking was pretty good too, although I think now that has probably changed drastically with additional parking garages...Read 21,745 Reviews

I major in political science, most of my classes are conversations, the professors push you to reach a great level of critical thinking, the books they recommend will expand the minds, from Ayn Rand to Karl Marx, two opposites that coexist in this world. ...Overall, the school is a great environment, with a massive library with silenced floors, spacious, and always in a great mood (you can hear students sing and play instruments all over).

The coursework was always clearly laid out as well as the expectations. I have a busy family, and this degree allowed me the opportunity to have an extreme amount of flexibility in order to make life work around my coursework. I did well and realized that I did better when I put forth great effort to stay connected with my instructors. I met my assignment deadlines and asked questions when I needed additional information.

Graduate Student: My experience at Florida Atlantic University was nothing short of life changing. When I came o FAU in the fall of 2017, I was not aware of the journey I was embarking on. Being a student here has helped me grow so much in my academics and personal life. I have learned that it is okay and necessary to make mistakes in life in order to learn and grow. I have used the university's resources including the on campus tutoring centers, the CAPS office, doctors offices, and career center. I even got the chance to work for FAU as a tour guide. This was one of the greatest jobs I have ever had! It gave me a deeper appreciation for the university and how much goes into admissions, and how blessed I am to receive an education like this.

Alum: The academics and professors are excellent! I picked NCF because of the small class sizes and private school feel. It was helpful to have a faculty advisor in my discipline throughout my time here, and I am thankful she pushed me to take courses outside my major. It is a plus to have established positive relationships with multiple professors in my field. I highly recommend using the on-campus resources (Writing Resource Center, Center for Engagement and Opportunity, librarians, Counseling and Wellness Center, etc.). I enjoyed living in Sarasota (there is a lot to do) and using the bayfront. The only downsides of the college are the food (quality + meal times) and how hard it can be to fit in and make friends (even when active on campus). If given a choice, I would pick NCF again, as I have grown intellectually and feel prepared for grad school due to the rigor of the courses...Read 453 Reviews

Junior: UNF is a solid educational institution with a diversified offering of degree programs. As a mid-size school, UNF offers a small-community feel with the amenities and resources of a large institution. The campus is beautiful, proudly boasting a calming, green atmosphere. Facilities are up-to-date, and faculty and staff are friendly. UNF is also one of the highest scoring Florida colleges for job placement after graduation. It was a great investment for my future career!...Read 2,816 Reviews

Junior: My experience with Florida Gulf Coast University has absolutely been a pleasant one. Firstly, all of the staff members (professors, advisors, food, housing, etc.) that I have met are very kind, caring, and ready to help. The education received from coursework has been top quality within all of my classes; the professors are extremely knowledgeable individuals. The campus itself is eloquently placed within the beautiful environment of Southwest Florida, facilities are clean, technology is up to date, and helpful services are plentiful (such as viewable from GPS phone application, FGCU buses which run all day, cycling from campus to housing areas to support students who do not drive to class). If I could recommend one change, it would actually just be an improvement; an increase in advisors reaching out to students, especially new students, essentially to provide each with a checklist of important things to do and know (for example, what courses to take and when). Ultimately, go FGCU!...Read 2,533 Reviews

Freshman: I have enjoyed my experience at the University of South Florida so far because I have been learning in every course with the guidance of professors and the assistance of classmates, when necessary. The St. Petersburg campus is full of diverse people and opinions that are appreciated amongst the student body. The location is beautiful with a great amount of nature and city life. The bay, plants, outdoor seating, and decor are pleasant. There are a great number of events and activities available such as included kayaking and waterboarding, movie nights, arts and crafts, and student government initiatives. ...Although the material is not simple, I would appreciate more advanced discussion and activities to be set for our level of education for virtual and laboratory courses. The professors are adequate educators and some are quite kind. Dining and Housing are quite expensive for the amenities offered, however, I do appreciate that they are a comfortable walking distance from classes...Read 510 Reviews

Alum: I loved going to James Madison University! I graduated in May 2018 with a major in Media Arts and Design (concentration in Interactive Design) and a minor in Art History. During my time at JMU, I was very involved in Student Ambassadors (tour guides), Madison Dance, and Alternative Breaks. As a black student, I was a little worried about attending JMU since the minority population is pretty small but I had a great experience. I never encountered any overt racism or felt any bias against me from my fellow students and professors. There were times though that I felt a little uncomfortable in the surrounding area of campus. I would occasionally see confederate flags, which left me feeling a bit cautious even though I didn't have any negative experiences (especially since I come from a very liberal and majority-black area). After graduation, I was able to find a job as a Graphic Designer within 3 months and I felt very prepared to complete the tasks that came with my job...Read 3,063 Reviews
