What impressed you positively?

UF's facilities and enthusiasm of the staff, teachers, and students

What impressed you negatively?

had to walk to my interviews by myself

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm from UF, and know pretty much everything about it already

What are your general comments?

My interviews were both conversations as opposed to question/answer sessions. Both of my interviewers were very interested in knowing about my researach, considering UF is a large research facility. They are opening a whole slew of new cancer, genetic, and spinal research centers. Overall, everyone was extremely friendly and UF is an excellent example of southern hospitality. I'm slightly biased considering it is the only school I applied to for undergrad.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
