10 Reasons to Attend UNF | University of North Florida Pros List

[@AmazingArtisticSpidey]

UNF is the best decision I’ve made. I enjoyed going there. The campus is beautiful, my professors are awesome & the campus events are fun. I have no regrets. #swoop !!

[@josspider100]

I went to UNF during summer semester 2019 and fall semester 2019 and I really enjoyed being there. I ended up leaving due to personal reasons but I miss going to classes, studying with my friends at the library and working part time at the Starbucks. The fact that it's also right smack dab in the middle of a forest also makes the school feels like it incorporated nature with technology, and it feels very homey due to that. All in all, UNF is a great school to go to.

[@sharonharris2120]

Thank for sharing the information about UNF! Did you end up doing back to school and if so, which school?

[@celestialblade]

I got accepted into UNF a few days ago and I’m undecided at the moment but this video really helped!! 💗 EDIT: Im going!!

[@celestialblade]

I better get that sticker😤😤

[@almostaustin]

Sure thing!

[@sariahamiller9780]

Omg me too!!

[@celestialblade]

@@sariahamiller9780 ayyy which term are you?? I’m summer term!

[@BabiidollB90]

How long did it take for you to get accepted?

[@snapesnapeseverussnape2015]

I'm currently a junior @ UNF and I enjoy the school very much. I'm a transfer student and it was the best transfer decision I've ever made! I love the swoop life. I have no complaints and they are very time efficiant when it comes to concerns. I hope to work at my school after I graduate.

[@madib3047]

I just accepted and am now applying to the honors college :)))

[@almostaustin]

Ayo! Congrats Madi! Honors College is the move - best of luck with the application. They know me in there, so tell them you saw my video. haha

This is appealing the city of Jacksonville it's different than where I grew up. Good video

[@jtn2002]

Former grad student / part-time faculty here; my department (math) is great about helping students!

[@bat1930]

Hi! I’m currently deciding between UNF and another school and I was wondering if you had any insight into the professors and overall standard of education. My main worry is physics (but Im also looking into pursuing art, education, and/or possibly sign language) and I made the mistake of looking at the rate your professors website and now I’m a bit worried about the physics classes. Do you happen to know about the experience of others who were physics majors (or the other majors I mentioned if you know anything)? If not I understand. I was also wondering how big classes can get even though the average is 35ish. Thank you for the video I thought it was very helpful! And sorry this was so long.

[@thenobleone-3384]

Once I knock out my prerequisites I can try to transfer its not easy cause I will be paying out of state fees. We will see if I get to attend this college

[@derlyquintero4304]

My Auntie goes there she graduating new month

[@hadenfrench1561]

I am going to be transferring to UNF from Saint Johns River State College in two years

[@Deeviiouss]

Do you have to be in the honors program to study aboard?

[@almostaustin]

No, you do NOT have to be in the Honors program to study abroad - UNF lots of options. However, there are a few study abroad trips exclusive to the Honors program.

[@raheimgrant3220]

Is it easy to get around Jacksonville or UNF without a car?

[@almostaustin]

UNF without a car is not not going to be a problem at all - the campus is compact and everything you will need is within walking distance. Jacksonville on the other hand, as the largest city in the US, is incredibly decentralized and will require a car to navigate. Moreover, do to how spread out things are, public transportation is not great because it's rather ineffective to combat the size of the city.

[@Chancel388]

What about if you're a transfer student? You didn't mention..

[@Thuyhabui575]

Can i join in short term study abroad if i'm a international student ?

[@cheyenneb4263]

Did you know any students in the art program while you were there? I'm trying to learn more but I can't find anything

[@winnie616]

Hi! This is a super helpful video, I'm really considering UNF. Quick question about the honors college: its says on the website that most incoming students have a 4.0 who are admitted to honors. Do you think a gpa lower than that will make it in if the sat scores and rec letters are really good? Like were there other honors students u knew who had a lower gpa but still got in?

[@IrinaEizner]

So, did you get your answer or did you get accepted into Honor program there?

[@sabrayam]

@@IrinaEizner I wanna know too

[@mjj.1666]

@@IrinaEizner you can get in with less than a 4.0! I talked to members of the admissions team lol

[@nunyabusiness6450]

If you're part of the Hicks honors college, do you have to live in crossings? I'd rather spend $300 more to get a single occupancy room in hall lol

[@kimberlypesiri]

Nope! It’s just available to you!

[@marwamimi843]

Can you get in after high school? I have a 4.5 weighted and haven’t taken SAT yet in junior year

Millennials and chick fil a 😭 Very helpful video btw thank you!

[@birdiekeller8480]

I don’t have a car- how hard would it be to get off campus? Are there buses?

[@almostaustin]

Hey! Jacksonville is not a great city for public transportation in general. However, UNF does offer a shuttle service that will take students from the campus to the shopping district directly next to campus (St. Johns Town Center). Past that, my best advice would be to put your best foot forward in making friends who have cars. I didn't have a car and that's what I did - had no problems living on campus for two years.

[@birdiekeller8480]

@@almostaustin cool thanks!

[@r.j9900]

I am an Arizona resident and willing to go to unf. will I get admitted and get scholarship that covers all my tuition fees by the way my gpa is 3.7 and my sat score is 1010. please if you see my comment answer my questions :)

[@Yoursistersazz]

Oh for sure. With that you can go to 90 percent of the colleges in the country, as for scholarships I wouldn’t know

[@Ranphis1357]

I was interested the moment he talked about stuff abroad how would I be able to participate, is it certain fields that can do it or can anyone participate?

[@gabriellebroeders4202]

Any recommendations for those looking to do the Navy ROTC program regarding what to major in?

[@aidanalexander1938]

Are the party goods?

[@almostaustin]

As a guy with no Greek Life association and low to neutral interest in the party scene, I'm not a good source for first-hand experience. I can tell you this - UNF does not have a reputation for being a "Party School," but that's not to say that parties don't exist. If you go Greek for sure you'll find them, otherwise you'll have to make connections that can get you into Greek Life events or be a member/have associations with crowds that throw house parties. It's also important to note that the clubbing scene in Jax is trash if you're under 21 (@ 21 you have access to the beach bars). Ultimately, I would say that if your expectation is to party like you see it in the movies or from the nation's biggest party schools, then you will be disappointed by your options at UNF - that's the truth. However, if you manage those expections to a level where you understand that UNF is not a party school, but you will find comparable alternatives if you work to seek them out, then you're going to have a good time here.

[@emdorado9819]

How is the art program like there? It’s been difficult to find any art student reviews online. Thank you!

[@cheyenneb4263]

Did you ever find out? I am wanting to know the same thing

[@valiomaffey6166]

Thanks bro

[@almostaustin]

Of course!

[@123Smadin]

Hey I am from Germany ✌🏽. I plan to go to UNF next year. Are you still there than? I would like to make some friends or. Contacts before. Maybe it could be usefull to know some people before I arrive 😋.

[@buddyjoshy5462]

What is your degree?

[@almostaustin]

BBA: International Business (UNF to KEDGE Double Degree)

[@buddyjoshy5462]

@@almostaustin ooo quick question is the education department good?

[@kaitlynmould5725]

What did you major in?

[@almostaustin]

I study International Business, but a special double degree offered by UNF and a partner school in France called KEDGE. As of Spring 2020, I'm on my final semester (for future readers context).

[@kaitlynmould5725]

Otter Space Productions that’s awesome. I am currently looking at UNF and I am highly interested. I applied to to honors college as well. I am a chemistry pre med major and I want to study abroad. How did you get started with studying abroad? Any tips!

[@almostaustin]

UNF has a lot of opportunities, and like I said in the video, Study Abroad is HUGE - especially with Honors. Honors is actually how I got started, with a trip to Peru. Between honors and UNF student government, there are so many scholarships available to make it more affordable as well. The major you're thinking about will likely have less opportunities than other degrees, but if play your cards right you can easily make one or two possible.

[@almostaustin]

Biggest tip - Go the Honors route!

[@discipleoftheLordJesusChrist]

there are also real Christians who care about the destination of the students' souls, who have begun to preach on "the green," intermittently. you should stop and listen sometime.

[@derlyquintero4304]

I fact I knew the unf was In March maddnes I was shocked

[@hockeymaster306]

No tailgates no Greek life no fun!! Don’t go here hahahaha

[@almostaustin]

I wouldn't say "no fun" - but if a strong tailgate/Greek Life culture is a high priority for you, I agree it's fair to say that UNF will not match your expectations.

[@kimberlypesiri]

There’s lots of Greek life! My chapter has been at Unf since the 80s!
