I'm curious, did anyone tour UWF or UNF? Thoughts?

Have a comment on UWF. Visited the campus a couple of years ago when attended a swim meet. Absolutely gorgeous pool. One wall is clear glass, and you can see the pine trees as you swim. Awesome.

We drove through the campus. Liked it. It’s a good size. Would probably need a bike, at least, but there did seem to be a shuttle bus.

Some older looking dorms at one section, but found some nice, newer apartment looking dorms on another side of the campus.

In a somewhat hilly area, for our region, with nice view.

Found a nice boardwalk through a nature preserve that son and I enjoyed.

Baseball field and other sports fields on campus. Can’t remember a football field, but may be one that we missed.

I believe it was once a senior college back when I was in school, 30 years ago, because I considered going there for marine science, but I would have had to go to a community college first. Pensacola Junior College was a good junior college back then. So I was happy to hear it’s now a four year college.

For leisure time, go to Santa Rosa Island. Gorgeous beaches. White sand, clear water.

Were there during MLK weekend, and kids were surfing on the beach!

Nice public pier for fishing, public beach, as well as hotels and condos for the tourists, but the public beaches are very nice, so students can enjoy!

Great weather, friendly people. Would definitely check it out.
