Nursing. Financial aid office A+: knowledge, kind, helpful. Doesn't brush you off. General admissions is disorganized and unhelpful with the exception of one individual I came across, as is nursing admissions. Admin in my major could use some executive couching to improve organizational & communication skills. If you go into the program being prepared to deal with these realities, you will be able to enjoy the many positives the nursing programs UNF offers. Most professors are competent & kind, good clinical opportunities & experience, good teamwork among cohorts. Every nursing program will have it's positives & negative, but UNF is still pretty darn good! While I believe UNF tuition is a hair cheaper than UF, I believe UF has more substantial scholarship opportunities. The additional costs associated with UNF's program (supplies, required purchases) are surprisingly high & higher than what is published on the dept. page, so please research to make best decision for YOU.
I have loved attending the University of North Florida for many reasons, but I will list my favorites since I have limited characters.
For starters, even though UNF is a growing school with around 13,000 students, it still has a really lovely small-school feeling to it. Your professors will take time to get to know you, and if you're in honors, the dean of the Honors College will take time to read through your application and send personalized welcome emails.
Since it has a small-school feel to it, UNF has opportunities for Freshmen to get involved in research! I started working on a research project my first semester with many other students and a Professor from the Sociology department.
The other main reason I have loved UNF has been how accepting, and friendly everyone is. The first time I started being openly nonbinary was when I moved on campus, and everyone I met was totally accepting of me; even now, as I am working through changing my name, everyone is so supportive.

The smaller and more intimate environment helps me gain more one on one experience since the professors have more time to give to their students. The faculty especially in the music department are very encouraging for the success of their students and gives us all of the tools we need to succeed. Communication from financial aid and the administrative offices is not the best, but otherwise it is a great environment!
