[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone actually had their kid attend UF?  If so, what was your experience like? [/quote]
It’s been good for my child. It’s huge and definitely no hand holding. Very much sink or swim, which is OK for this child. For some of my other kids, I think they would have gotten lost. 
I don’t personally like the campus. I hate University that runs through there and [b]every year a couple of students are killed as pedestrians[/b]. Lots of kids have scooters to get around which I also personally hate. 
It’s very reasonably priced and my child is getting a very good education. [/quote]

Errr, I feel like this would make national news if true.[/quote]
Not sure what to tell you. There is a parent advocacy group for it.

There are some safety improvements being made but it’s an extremely dangerous road and the number of scooters doesn’t help. And very few of the kids on scooters wear helmets.  You can believe me or not. [/quote]

I believe this is true.  The other negatives that I heard about UF is that the students are very competitive and cutthroat (esp. pre med)[/quote]

Completely unrelated, I’m sure…
