The classes here at UF are informative and the information is useful. The professors that I have had are knowledgeable about their field and have a lot of insightful views into the subject. I feel more aware of the world around me and am genuinely interested in the subjects that I am taking because I feel that there is much that I can benefit. Another reason why I feel that I am learning a lot is because of the enthusiasm that some of my professors have for the topic that they are teaching. I am fortunate that my professors can make their lectures educational while at the same time entertaining. UF has many resources that a student can use to receive additional help outside the classroom to ensure that one fully understands the class material. There is a Broward Tutoring Center on campus that provides aid to a various of classes such as chemistry and calculus.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I love being a Florida Gator. I enjoy being in Gainesville and have come to call UF my home away from home. UF has a lot of organizations and clubs that students can get involved with to meet other students and make connections. One of the reasons why I enjoy being at UF is because of the people that I met through becoming involved. Joining an organization or club that one is interested in is a great way to meet others who have similar interests. UF has about an organization or club for about anything that I can think of. In addition, Gainesville has a lot of great places to dine at (another reason why I enjoy UF). Mochi is a great place to grab a snack and Bento is an inexpensive place to grab a meal. I love the cohesiveness that comes from being a part of the Gator Nation. I never watched a football game until I came to UF. It was an amazing experience. To see so many people cheering and having a great time. The atmosphere during a football game is exhilarating. It definitely instilled in me a sense of Blue and Orange pride.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The quality of education that UF gives is worth the price. The tuition is reasonable and affordable. Especially with the financial help of Bright Futures and any additional scholarships or grants, UF is a great place to go to for a good solid education that does not empty the bank. UF is a respected institution that offers some of the best ranked programs in the country.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Do not be afraid to go to a professor's office hours. Although it is intimidating in the beginning, office hours is a great way to get individual help and for the professors to get to know you on a personal level which will be great for recommendation letters in the future. Also, I recommend taking a class on a subject that interests you that you never took before. It will help broaden your horizons and help you discover what you want to do. Anthropology was a subject that I was interested and I decided to try it out. I enjoyed the class that I decided to minor in it.
