The education I received at the University of Florida was excellent. Once I got into my sociology major, I took multiple classes that were within my specific interests and my professors offered great views on these topics. Although UF is very STEM-focused, the liberal arts courses are varied and offer great education. I will say the student, faculty, and staff population was not as diverse as I would have liked it to be, and I hope they're working on making that aspect better. It is also a very sports-centered school so as someone who is not a fan of sports, sometimes that left me feeling left out. UF campus is beautiful and wide. There are so many different areas on campus, including amazing nature and even bat cages! They also have a huge fruit and vegetable garden and a food pantry with free items for students. Gainesville is a wonderful city filled with many wonders and is nearby to some of the most beautiful areas in Florida.
Academically, UF is a great school. However, it is very competitive, and if you make it in, you will absolutely be pushed. I have found that the level of support you get from faculty really depends on your major--when I was in a large degree like biology, I felt left behind and replaceable (my current major is wildlife ecology and it is AMAZING). UF does have some great programs in place to help you succeed, but you are expected to pursue those on your own--no one will be checking in on you or holding your hand. Just like any big university, UF is a business--you are an academic and financial asset.
Professors here are brilliant, and most of them want to help you. There are fantastic study abroad opportunities, scholarship opportunities, and well-run extracurricular clubs. DON'T stay on campus or get a meal plan!

The University of Florida is a prestigious university ranked in the top 10 public schools in the U.S. UF has a beautiful campus with magestic trees and red brick buildings. My experience with UF has more than exceeded my expectations. They care about each student and faculty member even though there are thousands. They cater to the needs of young leaders inspired to succeed at the university. There are various amenities across campus that are included in tuition, and at least one thing bound to interest every person there. Classes are quality instruction, and professors with charismatic personalities. Student clubs are vast and abundant, so inclusion of all types of people is guaranteed. Lastly, UF is constantly working to better the community and atmosphere of campus to better benefit its inhabitants.
One thing UF could work on is accommodating the large number of students on campus. Lines are always long, and resources limited sometimes. Other than that, great university!
