I currently have a high achiever senior graduating this Friday from the Business School with a Marketing degree. I have a daughter who graduated from Ohio State U two years ago so I can compare both experiences. If you are a State of Florida resident or have Florida Prepaid (We did), it makes all the financial sense to aim for UF. If you are an Out-of State student, I would consider going somewhere else especially when you are looking to pay $30K plus a year for a Business degree at UF. Save it!!!. The lack of support is real. You are truly on your own when it comes to getting any help. Career services is a joke. Again, you are on your own. By the time, you graduate you might ask yourself, why is UF a top 5 Public School? I can honestly say that a school like OSU (the only one I can compare) had far more resources to help these kids. For whatever reason, they made a large school feel smaller. Not the case at UF Maybe Covid had a lot to do with it, especially the first two years with being pretty much a 100% online school. But the last two years have not been much different. Everyone should take the time and research their options. We are very proud of him and all his friends graduating this Friday. Socially, it is a great place to go to school. The diploma is valuable due to the ranking, but the lack of support is real. Good luck to everyone.
