Tips: Students should know that they will need to take initiative in order to reap maximum benefit from events organized by the student government and the opportunities provided by the universities. People do not care about minuscule stuff and are either overly welcoming or won't care about you. Our college unites artists and engineers, physicians and philosophers, entrepreneurs and educators. We distil practical solutions from pure science and apply the lessons of history to contemporary problems. College embraces a diversity of experiences and ideas as the core of our strength.

University of Florida is for hard workers.

Tips: You might get homesick or enjoy the place. It is you who have to decide. In addition, Gainesville does not have anything to do. It's just college and your room and your friends. If you are someone who thinks about hardwork and very little enjoyment. Then this place is for you.

Likes (Part time work): Almost everyone in the University gets part-time and hourly pay rate is average. If you are working in dine-in facilities such as chic-fil-A or firehouse subs then you will get $12.5/hour. If you are working somewhere else, your pay rate is commensurate with the budget and your calibre.

Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Permanent immigration/settled options depend on the luck according to me. University plays no role in your permanent immigration. It is you who have to crack a job in a good organisation and prove yourself to the organisation to file a petition for your H1B.

This will be the journey that you always dreamed of

Tips: Students should be aware of the cultural shift they are gonna be experiencing once they reach here. Especially students from India. Moreover, if we talk about scholarships, I received a 4500$ scholarship spread across three semesters. Overall I’m quite satisfied with the university and my course as it provides me with the wonderful opportunity of fulfilling my dreams. Overall, I would suggest the students to be prepared of the changes they will be experiencing.

A great place to start our international career

Tips: I got a lot of help from seniors so my transmission was kind of smooth. Its a new country so I expected some shifts after moving here so it wasn't a shock. I was not eligible for any scholarship so I didn't get one. Overall, very good university, just be careful outside the campus, try to stay mostly inside the campus. Make sure to stay in the campus for a long time during the day, its a safe space. For instant bank access use Zolve. Make sure to use Facebook groups to find accommodation.

Value for money degree at UF

Tips: This is the best college for value for money degrees. Comparing the tuition fee with other prominent universities, it is much lower and affordable. Prices of food and living are also less. With a good amount of funding, I would 100% recommend UF to anyone who wants to experience good college life.

Likes (Student Life): UF is a great school for life. The campus does so much for students on a regular basis. There are numerous entrepreneurship clubs and labs. You can learn professional and social skills through these clubs. I joined NLP Club through which I got access to my on campus job at NLP Lab.

Dislikes (Internships): Since Florida is a state with not too much IT infrastructure, hence there are less companies working here. Also since 2023 is going through recession, hence less opportunities for internships. Would recommend going to California if internship is the top priority.
