"Pros: UF is the highest ranked Florida medical school, so it has a reputation of greatness in the SE. The first two years are pass/fail, which encourages camaraderie and pursuit of hobbies. Cons: UF doesn't give out good financial aid packages compared to the other Florida schools. Also, Gainesville is a small city and does not offer much in the way of fun things to do."

"The faculty are very supportive of your goals. They are accepting and willing to work with you so you get the best experience possible from your program. The diversity of students is neat because you are exposed to many different cultures. The only con of the school is the large number of students makes any job, internship, etc. extremely competitive. You're forced to work harder, but it is a bummer when 10 people are all highly qualified student position and there is only room for one."

  • Degree: Real Estate Management
"The MSRE program at UF is a wonderful source of professional education. Unparallelled knowledge The real estate business inside and out is achieved. Wherever you aim to delve into real estate from the private equity side or residential brokerage, the program is a wonderful vehicle to arrive at that end goal with the tools you need for success."

"Overall I am very pleased with UF College of Medicine. UF is Florida's top-rated medical school, and students perform very well on the national Step exams for medical licensing. However, because UF is the top medical school in FL, they can get away with offering very little in terms of scholarship/grant money to students compared to other FL medical schools."

  • Degree: Anthropology
"You come for the advisor rather than the overall program since this is a four-field anthropology program. We have some of the best researchers--if you know who they are. In terms of financial aid, the program can do a much better job of supporting the students it already has. Too many students are admitted with too little funding. Sometimes the process of funding does not reflect entirely the merit of the student."

"Attracts very friendly students. Very laid back program almost to a fault. Program's current reputation is ephemeral. Good place for the self-motivated. If you need to be told how great you are on a regular basis this is not that school."

"I have loved my years at UF but I believe this school spends too much money invested in sports teams specially for football team and less and less in graduate programs. Also, it enforces extra student fees on graduate students each semester claiming for the facilities which are mainly used by undergrads."

"UF has a great anthro program, but securing funding can be pretty difficult. It is a lot of jumping through hoops trying to find a way to fund yourself each semester. Faculty members are pretty great though so it's a trade off."

"I love my department. However, be advised that the UF anthropology department is very large. Therefore if you are someone who needs a lot of personalized, individual attention, this is probably not the school for you. There is also not a lot of available funding unless you are resourceful. That said, my classes have been excellent and I appreciate the caliber of the professors and departmental staff."
