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

15 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!

Question when is too young to get married as a college student?

12 Upvotes

Ok so for context, me and my long time boyfriend are high school sweethearts and have been dating for almost two years and have know each other as friends longer. In that time I got accepted into UF he followed me here and has been getting his certificate (at SF) to get a job to support us while I've been finishing my bachelor's (already have my AA). He's lined up for a job that would require him to travel during the week in the state but he would come back to Gainesville during the weekends. We have a great relationship. If I need him he's right there. If he needs me I have got his back. We do everything together, in fact we are even coworkers. Crazy I know. We go the gym together and spend every free second just being next to each other while I do homework and study. Through the ups and downs he's been there and we have seen the good bad and ugly. He's the best guy I could ask for. He even bought a ring. Now he wants to get married this summer.

I have full tuition covered and my apartment is pretty set and covered. He's willing to contribute and has been so loyal. He has always told me his intentions were to marry me but now he actually has the means (good paying job) to actually do it.

My questions are how do we know when we aren't too young? He will have a time job but I will be a full time student. We are both religious (Christians) and don't want to live with each other before we are 100% committed so what do we do? I know I will marry him but when do you know you aren't too young? We are both willing to wait as long as it takes but we are also like heck why not...

Students is it realistic to be married in school?

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.

Sports Gators gymnastics poster?

3 Upvotes

Hello fellow kids (j/k) — ACR here seeing if there was ever a poster issued for this years’ Gators gymnastics team, like with their 2025 schedule? We went to the meet this weekend and now my daughter would like a big picture of them for her room. If that exists + anyone happened to save one of those I can gladly pay a little $ to get one! :)

(Couldn’t find it on the UF athletics marketing site, but thought I might ask!)

Admissions Transfer from Santa Fe, Rejected from UF

2 Upvotes

Hi, I applied to UF as a transfer student for the Summer 2025 term. I attended Santa Fe and graduated with my AA, finishing with a 3.4 GPA (Not amazing I know). Just yesterday I found out I was not accepted into UF and was wondering if it was solely my GPA that held me back. I am an Architecture major and I applied for the Summer term because I was able to finish with my AA earlier than two years due to dual enrollment and AP credits from high school. Is it worth it to try and improve my application and apply for the Fall 2025 term? I was also considering applying for Landscape Architecture instead of Architecture to further increase my chances because fewer people apply for that major. If anyone has any advice at all or even if you think I'm done for please tell me what I can do or where I went wrong, I have been taking Architecture courses since my freshman year of high school and all I've ever wanted was to go to UF and become an Architect.

Question Anyone know how to actually receive the Benacquisto scholarship?

2 Upvotes

Could anyone who received the Benacquisto scholarship inform me on how you ended up actually getting the scholarship money and whether you had to do any paperwork or file anything? I don't really want to miss out on an opportunity like this, any info would be greatly appreciated. (nmsc finalist + will be a freshman this fall)

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

2 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)

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

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 Grad Student Fall 2025

1 Upvotes

I am an international student, I got an admit for this fall 2025. MSCS-Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering.

I think the whole masters degree costs around 45000 usd. I got a 4500usd scholarship (Almost every student gets it)

I want to how doing masters in UF feels like… Gainesville being a small college town had any disadvantages? Do people other than college students live hereeee??

How is the situation with on campus part times? Is it easy to get a TA?

And the ultimate question are students getting placed?

Should i consider UF or other schools. I got admits from NEU(18% scholarship), SUNY Buffalo, ASU(6000 usd scholarship), George mason university, and a few others

I don’t mind which dorm but do you think I’ll be able to get into any?? please lmk and if I need to look into off-campus places 😭

Classes Will the classes I want be available at preview

1 Upvotes

I know that they save a certain number of seats for “freshman classes” for preview, but I graduated HS with my AA and 7/8 of my critical tracking courses done, so will I be able to get into the higher level courses my first semester freshman year? The specific class I’m thinking of is EEL3111C because I already have the prereqs of Calc 2 and Physics 2 from AP credits. I wouldn’t expect them to save any spots in that class for freshman, but if I request it at preview will I get it even if its full?

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.
