The best in the state for my major (Biology/Biochemistry). An engineering powerhouse and recipient of the most national grants for health-related research in the state of Florida.
Will enjoy being here
Gator Nation is infectious! There is not one city in the state of Florida that isn't aware of who Tim Tebow is. The sports culture is a bit over the top, but it makes for excellent school spirit and an exciting atmosphere filled with internationals and out-of-staters attracted by the ra-ra atmosphere.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Because I have 100% (100%) Bright Futures, I will end up paying only $1,004 in tuition over the next FOUR YEARS if I am a full-time student (I calculated this per credit hour - and I will complete 12 credit hours/semester). Living expenses total about $10,000, and a little more if you decides to bring a car (though it's completely unnecessary if you're in a pinch - all Gators get free bussing around Gainesville via the bus system).
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get everything together early and be as prepared as possible to apply by that November 1 deadline - UF has scrapped Early Decision along with a few ivies in the country.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
You are safely within the top 5% of your class (in terms of class rank). You have one or more passions (a team sport played all four years, volunteer service, arts/drama, etc.). Your SAT/ACT composite exceeds or meets the 88th%-ile. You have a lot of good ideas to share and are a good essay writer..you're not afraid of a challenge or of being surrounded by like peers.
