University of North Florida is a highly recommended school choice.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Visit the campus! You can't tell if a school is right for you from the website or brochure. Make the effort to try the university out, and see if it may be a good fit for you! University of North Florida is a great place to visit, so schedule a tour!
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
Classes are smaller then many larger schools, so you have a better relationship with the faculty. Academically it is challenging, but in a way that helps you succeed and become a better student, not in a way that drags you down.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
On-campus living is great! The rooms are larger then many universities, and there is a real sense of community within each building. The Housing staff is helpful and present, so you never feel like you don't know what to do or not know what's going on. Also, the housing is close to the academic buildings, so walking to classes is a breeze.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
University of North Florida has a brand new student Cafe (which is the cafeteria for the meal plans) and the food there is an excellent upgrade from the previous cafeteria! Also around campus are many other food places with a variety of options, even those with food restrictions such as vegetarian and vegan. Pizza, sushi, wraps, burritos, smoothies, you name it and it's on campus!
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
There is always something going on on campus! Osprey Productions brings big name concerts to campus, movies nights are held in the student union, trivia nights, karaoke nights, plays and much, much more! Also, living in a large city, such as Jacksonville, there are a lot of places around town to hang out and have fun.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
University of North Florida is growing as a college! All your student fees go towards things you can actually use, like the 100% free, new Student Wellness Complex (gym) with state of the art equipment and a rock climbing wall! Also, we have a high ropes course available to students and so much more! You really get your money's worth here, because everything is to make sure the student has a great college experience!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
The campus is situated in the middle of a Nature Preserve, so we are ideal located. Slightly isolated with ourselves, but 10/15 minutes from Jacksonville Beach and 15 minutes from Downtown Jacksonville. You get the best of all worlds.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
If you are ambitious, and want more out of a college experience then just good grades, University of North Florida is a place you should look into. Because it is up and coming, students have the opportunity to be a part of that and really get some unique experiences that wouldn't be available at a larger and more traditional college.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
There are more then can be described here! If you want something, UNF probably has it.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
University of North Florida has a very large and present Greek Life. Although there is no official Greek housing, there is a very close community that has been built. If you are interested in Greek Life, I would highly recommend it.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
We have a great University Police Department, who are present and approachable. Safety is a big concern when moving about campus, and the crime in very low on campus.
