It is the best college in my state for the program that I am getting my degree in. I have always wanted to go to UF and decided at a very early age that it would be my first pick school. I also knew there wouldn't be a chance I could go out of state.
Course Curriculum
I think that the course curriculum is challenging yet very fun. I feel that by the time I receive my degree I will be fully prepared for the workforce. I have very much enjoyed all the classes that I have taken at the university.
Exams
I took the SAT to get into the University of Florida. I scored a 1386 on the SAT exam which met the requirements for entry.
Placement
The job opportunities seem plentiful and the university works hard to make the transition to the workforce and easy one. They do a great job with the internships they offer.
Internship
I have not completed an internship yet but will be doing so next semester. I am looking forward to it! All the friends I have spoken to have had great experiences with their internships and have enjoyed getting a taste of what the workforce will be like.
Events
We celebrate homecoming and we have Gator Growl before every homecoming game. It is so much fun! Football season is a big deal for the university and a lot of social events revolve around going to football games.
Fees
We are charged per credit hour. There are also lab fees associated with certain classes.
Scholarship
No, I have not received any scholarship opportunities. I have applied for quite a few but have not been chosen, unfortunately.
Examination Structure
Each class has a different testing structure. It really depends on the course. I have had some classes that have weekly tests while others are primarily paper-based. I enjoy the testing classes more because writing papers is extremely time-consuming.
Hostel
For my first couple of years, I commuted from home. And just at the beginning of this year, I moved into an off campus apartment with a couple of friends. I believe freshmen have to either board in the dorms or commute from home.
