Review of University of North Florida

from Frederick, MD

Describe your college in three sentences.

A beautiful campus with lots of outdoor trails, the dorms are beautiful and spacious and the campus is fairly compact which makes walking really easy. The campus encourages biking and there are racks everywhere. The food is really good to and there are tons of options to choose from, not to mention the new gym is incredible!

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Take a tour! The campus is beautiful and the people are really nice. Also if a college knows you've toured it makes it just a little bit easier to get in because they know your seriously considering their school.

Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?

The classes are small for such a big school which is really nice because you get individualized attention and the few lecture classes have breakout sessions so you can make sure you understand the material. There are a lot of cool classes to choose from too and great study abroad options.

Describe the dorm life at your college.

The dorms have the best setup I've seen in any college I have visited, you have the option of a double and its cheaper but you can get a single room and share a bathroom with only one other person and a little kitchen with two more people. The security is great, you have to have your own key to get in your dorm room which means unless you're leaving it open your room mates can't steal your stuff.

Describe the food and dining at your college.

They have a lot of options all over the map, on campus there are pizza joints, grilles, sushi bars, frozen yogurt joints, and convenience stores and off campus there are a lot of really great restaurants surrounding the campus like bahama breeze and aj's pizza.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

If you're outdoorsy you will love this place there are wooded paths all around campus and the campus has a rental station where you can get kayaks, canoes, and camping equipment free and take it off campus for up to a week.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

there is a lot to choose from, pages upon pages of active clubs.

Are you involved in any clubs or activities?

they don't have houses but the Greek life is very active on campus.

How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?

very safe, it is located in a great area there are blue lights all over campus in case you actually have to use one, the campus security is real police officers and the dorm security is locked down so you don't have to worry about random hobos or anything.
