What are your general comments?
I had a great time. The staff and students were all very nice and gave a great view of life at UF. I was impressed with almost everything UFCOM has to offer. The only thing negative was that the day is too long (not exhausting, but lots of repetition). They could leave out some of the days activities and the experience would have been just as informative and much more enjoyable.
