I went to UCF, but I visited a buddy once who went to UNF, and it seemed kind of old/dirty/rundown at least in comparison to UCF. The people mostly seemed like hippies, but I never attended any classes or anything so for all I know the curriculum could be great... Either way, congrats on getting into college! I'm sure UNF is cool. If you have any questions on college in general feel free to PM me, UCF Grad 08.

I go to UNF. Good school, nice campus. Parking can be a pain in the *** sometimes, but that's really my only complaint.

On the contrary with instate tution its about the best bang for your buck university out there ( at least in the South.)

To the OP, I love it here man. Its a great school, great price, and a few great people. Parking can be a hassel, but you'll figure that out pretty quick. Just keep an eye out for all the hippies and treehuggers trying to get you to sign up for something and you should be fine

(In class right now as well)

I've seen your car around campus. The battery in my truck was dead this morning so I had to drive the TA up today.

parking sucks. i am getting a good parking pass next semester. my uncle is the super intendent there and said he'd get my a good pass for parking. i think unf is actually pretty darn clean for how many people attend it. heck only 900 attended my high school/middle school and it was filthier than unf.

They do a pretty good job of keeping it clean. You'll always see the maintenance guys running around all over the place. The constant construction is a pain in the ***. They erradicated that whole parking lot to build the student union that seems like it is taking forever. Parking is a pain in the *** unless you have early classes. I just pull into the parking garage and there's tons of spaces.

I will say it is nice they finally connected the rest of the campus with the old lot 18. I had to park out there my freshman year and walk to class. Getting a different parking permit has saved me around 25 minutes of driving and walking time.

Overall, I think it is decent. College isn't anything people make it out to be. I just go to my classes and get the hell out of there.

I tend to stick around for a while and just laugh. I noticed there was a new one that I hadn't seen before a couple weeks ago.

Get a premium parking pass if your classes are early. Try and schedule your classes in a block to where you don't have an hour and a half gap in between them. That will help minimize your down time. On the teachers ratemyproffessor really helps out if you check it out. Prepare to get bent over and raped on paying for a parking permit and books.
