Very grateful for the experience and an amazing student life.

Tips: One of the first things to sort out before reaching the campus is your housing, whether on campus or off campus, based on your preference and convenience to classes or else it can become quite chaotic. Make sure you follow the requirements of your major such as credit requirements as well as attendance as it can vary a lot. Besides, the faculty is great and be quite helpful to you regrading your professional life.

University of Florida: Affordable in terms of course fee.

Tips: University of Florida is ranked as the best public university in the United States. It is also very good for the Computer Science stream. The professors are well-versed and teach really well. The curriculum is well designed with a good number of assignments, projects and exams to get a deeper understanding of the subjects. Another plus point about the University of Florida is its affordable fees (around $35000 for the whole course). The only thing I observed as not good is the lack of diversity ...

The perfect college town if you are a student

Tips: If a person is living in a tier 1 city in India, then the USA is not much different except the people. So it is not that difficult to get used to it. There is an academic excellence scholarship option at the end of the year worth $1000. I am more or less satisfied with the university.

Likes (Public transportation): There are ample buses to every part of the city and it is free for the students. You just have to show your university ID card and that's it. The bus frequency is also not a problem as the buses start from 6 am in t...

University of Florida - Really worth experience.

Tips: Gainesville is a student friendly city, offering pleasant tropical weather throughout most of the year and at least one hurricane annually. The College of Engineering offers a $4500 scholarship over three semesters. I am really happy with the university's atmosphere, and my course is enriched by excellent professors closely connected to industry and electronic trends. University of Florida stands out as one of the few universities with its own nanoscale research lab, where you can design and fab...

Amazing University with abundance of resources. Overall, perfect place for you to study

Tips: My transitioning was smooth and haven't felt that much cultural shift because I am living in Indian society. We all get multiple scholarship opportunities and I am overjoyed and satisfied with my University, course and especially USA. The University of Florida has amazing faculty, the best environment and favourable places to study and work towards invention and innovation.

Likes (Indian Food): Every country's food is available on campus. Food is available everywhere at every corner of the university across the whol...

It is a dynamic experience.

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. Co...

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...

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 clu...
