The University of North Florida is a great institution for individualism, respect, education, and nature. It is by far one of the most unique Universities in Florida, because of it's wonderful location, and the free-spirited student body that is a proud Osprey!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Make sure that you can enjoy down time, and when the time calls be a social butterfly. Like any college you have to make sure to keep an open mind, a open heart, and willing to go out and try new things.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
The classes at UNF tend to be a little smaller, but you still have your big lecture classes. With that in mind, whether you're in lecture or breakout you will always have teachers willing to help, everyone I've ever had has given us office hours multiple times a week. Just make sure to take advantage of those times.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
The R.A's at UNF are so chill. Its a lot of fun being on campus, longboarding the garages at night, to star gazing on the green after dark. Most of your wild parties happen off campus, so dont try and get away with that here. But, otherwise there are always activites, clubs, sporting events going on within campus. There is a game room, and restaurants on campus also. Honestly, UNF is the hippest place outside downtown.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
Since the old cafeteria was knocked down it's been a little worse, but the fact that we're going to have a buffet, and 3 stories of dining options this next year is so awesome. Im gonna do most of my studying in there from now on.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
Jacksonville is a huge city so you can honestly do anything if you're creative enough. A lot of bars like to play awesome jazz music, as Jacksonville, and UNF have some of the most amazing jazz artists locally. Also, living close to the beach is a plus, you got surfing, skating, and all the concerts that come to free-bird. A lot can happen, just be willing to go out of your way to do things cause Jacksonville is a large city.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
With how modern everything is, and all the renovation with new buildings popping up everywhere, and state of the art facilities you're definitely getting what you pay for here. Plus who doesn't want to live on a national forest, with miles of trails, lakes, a zip-line course. And a lazy river for peet sakes.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
Check out the green. it's the bomb, always stuff going on there.
Also, the 4th and 5th floor of the fountains north tower.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
We have the coolest clubs. my favorite being: biology club, organic gardening, and cardio birds.
