I am inquiring about University of South Florida, University of Central Florida, and University of Florida.?

What are your views on these schools, especially the views of those who attend/have attended them. What is the atmosphere like? Is it easy to meet people? Did you live in a dorm? Are you shy/outgoing?

Also, does anybody have any knowledge concerning a major in psychology in these schools? How are the psychology programs? What types of careers have people pursued after receiving their degree?

Thank you! I’m really looking for insight from people who have had first hand experience at these universities.

I go to UF but don’t know much about the Psychology program. I do know that UF is getting harder to get into.

UF is a huge school. It is the 4th largest university in the U.S. with over 50,000 students on one campus. Which means that you are treated more like cattle than students. You will have huge classes, more so that at UCF and USF. You also will have to fight over educational resources with 50,000 other students. I kind of wish I went to a smaller school that actually cared about their students instead of just trying to make money off of them.

It is easy to meet people but I guess that goes with every university since you will be taking classes with the same people most of the time and you will be doing a lot of studying together.

I live off campus because the dorms are crowded and I didn’t like sharing a bathroom with 20 other different people. And I couldn’t get any studying done in the dorms and the libraries were always crowded. UF likes to take over study rooms and study areas to make more offices for staff.

none of these schools are in south florida you should ask on the tampa site or north florida or orlando. down here in south fl we have UM, FIU (awful school) usf is a bit better than fiu, ucf not great, FSU would be the best of the 3 but still not great. I would take the SAT again and try for at least a second tier school like UM or UF

I’m not sure if they have psychology but you might want to also take a look at Florida Southern College, it has a great atmosphere.
