Please do Vlad, UF is an awesome school.

I’m a mom who is a UNC alumni. I LOVE my Tarheels, and would have loved it if either of my sons chose UNC, but the didn’t- they are both Gators. I have to admit, being a part of the Gator Nation has totally changed my thinking. There is NOTHING like Gator pride. The traditions, the joy de vivre, the enthusiasm, the openness of UF students… it’s like no other.

The campus is different, in terms of ambience, than most traditional schools, but gorgeous in its ethereal old-Florida beauty. And where else can you walk to class and see a real live alligator (or the country’s largest nightly display of bats)?

An unbelievable number of programs, awesome research opportunities (and yes, they are there for the undergraduate’s asking), and let see… who else can play the theme from “Jaws” (alligator chomp) and Simon’s “You can Call Me Al” in the same game?

Definitely come down and check it out.
