I received my Bachelor's and Master's in Psychology at UNF before joining the workforce for a few years and then doing my PhD. UNF was an amazing place and gave me an excellent foundation for further graduate work and an excellent training and research experience. With the smaller class sizes, I really got to know my professors and gain opportunities I would not have at a larger university. The campus is beautiful as well and I had many extracurriculars to partake in. If they offered a PhD in Psychology I would have tried to continue my studies there. UNF is making great strides, and if I had to make a critique is that UNF is trying to shake off that commuter and small school stigma, but in the past 10 years it relly has increased it's academic profile and the new incoming students have really been top notch!
Review University of North Florida
I was very nervous to transfer to UNF since I was told classes were always full so it's hard to finish your courses and graduate but THAT WAS NOT TRUE! I was surprised to see the amount of courses available and the abundance of online courses. Now typically I'm not a fan of online courses but they're done pretty well here, and since I work full-time it's been going great for me! The transfer/orientation process was difficult but I think that may be specific to my college since it was a nightmare trying to schedule an advising appointment but a lot of the other colleges allow their advising sessions to be scheduled online. My biggest complaint would be their one-stop office since it's a long wait and you have to disclose personal information in front of a full lobby of people, if you have to go just don't do it from 11am-3pm.
I am currently a Sophomore at the University of North Florida and love it! I am from Jacksonville Florida, so deciding to attend my local University was the best decision I could have made. Staying in a familiar city, close to my family and friends have made my time at UNF even more enjoyable. The amount of opportunities that UNF presents is outstanding. They branch out from study abroad trips with same tuition, to personal workshops of your choice. I am proud to call myself an Osprey and look forward to continuing my education at the University of North Florida.
