What impressed you positively?
Students were emphatic about the possibilities available at the school, IF you're proactive. Quite a wealth of activities to be involved in.
What impressed you negatively?
I wish the school had spent less time 'dispelling myths' because honestly, *no one* believes that UF only trains researchers or that UF students are gunners or that UF students are arrogant. Consider this a public service announcement for people who are uninformed about the school.

The rooms were kind of cramped for 20 interviewees at a time.
