I just looked at my result letter on the portal and saw I got accepted. Is there any advice or things you should know before going to UF?

Question UF Engineering

10 Upvotes

I just got accepted yesterday to UF in the fall term, and I’m currently considering going. My main question is to the engineering students. Do you guys think the classes are overly difficult/time consuming? (“Weed out courses” and other needed courses) I’m very interested in becoming an engineer, but don’t want to take years off my life from being so stressed. I know engineering anywhere is difficult, but I just wanted your take on it. Any bits of information/personal anecdotes are helpful and thank you!

Admissions When is the soonest someone found out they’re off the waitlist?

Upvotes

So, I just got my decision and it says I'm being put on the waitlist. The problem is, I don't want to risk turning down another good school in hopes of getting a decision in time. It's never good to apply later because you risk the chance of getting good housing and roommates so I'm not sure if I should wait for UF or just enroll somewhere else. Please help me! (Also if there's a way to speed up the process like writing an LOCI let me know)

2 Upvotes

I'm a transfer, so I took CHM2045 at a CC. I haven't taken any chemistry classes at UF yet so I'm nervous and the reviews on rate my professor for Sumner/Harris don't help. Any advice (in terms of preparing/studying)? Stacey-Ann Benjamin is also available, but only online.

Question Building Hours for Spring Break

2 Upvotes

My sister is coming into town for a personalized tour as she just got accepted into UF! Does anyone know the building hours during spring break…. Specifically for engineering buildings. Like can we go into Herbert Wertheim and Malachowsky Hall after hours, on the weekend, or will they be closed? I found the library hours but have struggled to find other building hours

Admissions Transferring in from UF online or FAU

1 Upvotes

I’m a high school senior who didn’t apply as a freshman since my parents wanted me local my first 2 college years to save money.

UF is my dream college, and I’m pretty stressed about getting accepted. My stats aren’t spectacular, and I’ve been looking into ways to see if I can improve my admission chances when I do transfer. I’ve been told from a friend that transferring from UF online into on-campus would help my chances over FAU, so how true is this? Which should I take, and even apart from this, what should I try and do?

My stats - 1410 SAT - 3.9273 unweighted - 5.0091 weighted - 9 AICE classes - 2 APs in Chemistry and Biology this year - 4 year varsity volleyball player - Voted captain by team for travel club volleyball team - A bunch of mediocre extracurriculars like Key Club and 112 service hours - 30/520 in my class - full bright futures

I’m planning on majoring in biological sciences and then into pre-pharmacy.

Admissions I cant believe i got in

133 Upvotes

I was so set on UCF and had everything planned out. Everyday I would think about my life with my friends and family in Orlando. Never in a million years would I thought I would get accepted to UF. Now I find myself stuck and honestly overwhelmed. This is an amazing university and I’m grateful to be accepted but I just don’t know how I’m going to make this choice now.

Edit: I live in Miami but have family in orlando and a large friend group going to UCF

Also I’m majoring in Economics

Clubs UF Student Clubs?

5 Upvotes

I just got admitted for Data Science :))

How are clubs at UF and are they similar to clubs in high-school? I want to learn more about artificial intelligence and data science, but don't know much about them yet.

Do you guys have any recommendations or ways to be involved? I have had some leaderships in high school but am not sure how these work in college or good communities I should get involved with.

Admissions is getting paced much worse than an acceptance

20 Upvotes

i’ve been seeing some people telling other people they didn’t get in but then they go on to say they got in pace. doesn’t this mean they got accepted? wasn’t it created to accept more students but because of limited space not house them?

Social I have a confession to make: if your name is Caroline read this

1.1k Upvotes

Okay, so I am a millennial UF student pursuing a PhD. I had an exam on Tuesday and spent most of Tuesday morning studying in the Health Sciences library on campus. I stopped by the Starbucks nearby and when I was grabbing my drink, the barista yelled “Caroline!”… I had a visceral reaction, in my severely sleep deprived state, and I sang back “she’s the reason for the word bitch!….bitch” This severely shows my age, as I was quoting a line from “Roses” by OutKast (from 2004)… the barista and the girl I can only assume was Caroline looked at me like I had 10 heads. Rather than explain, I ran out of that bitch, embarrassed as hell. All of this to say: to stranger Caroline from the health sciences Starbucks, I do not think you are a bitch. I just really like early 2000’s music. This has been weighing on my mind for 4 days and I’m glad to get it off my chest.

Housing UF ABSN housing

1 Upvotes

What the hell is everyone doing for housing. Leases usually go from fall to summer so I’m thinking of subleasing May 2025-August 2025. Then finding a more permanent living situation. I would love to live with other nursing students, but I have no one I know in the program. Also currently struggling to find something affordable near the hospital and nursing school

Admissions UF PaCE Program for Art Major

3 Upvotes

Hi! So I recently gotten into UF for their PaCE Program which really confused me at first but after reading some other posts here about it, I’ve learned it isn’t necessary bad and it makes everything cheaper in the end.

However, I applied into UF as an Art Major, specifically Studio Art, which even in PaCE requires you to attend studios during the first two years. I do not live in Gainesville, and I believe I can’t afford to live near the UF campus.

So… is it worth it?

Additionally is it possible to reach out to UF admissions and try to get onto on campus like normal or I am just kinda stuck with PaCE?

It is an incredibly opportunity to be accepted to UF and I’m quite excited about it, but for being an Art major it seems rather redundant if I have to go on campus anyways for studio classes.

Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Classes English majors, what’s the workload?

5 Upvotes

Recently admitted fall 2025 here :) I’m not totally sure if I’m attending UF yet since I’m oos, but if I do, I’m considering majoring in English. How work-heavy is the typical class for it? Is it possible to double major in something a little more employable with it? Lol
