University of North Florida
From Wikipedia, The Free EncyclopediaThe University of North Florida (UNF) is a public university in Jacksonville, Florida, a member institution of the State University System of Florida. It currently has an enrollment of more than 16,000 students and employs over 500 full-time faculty. The current president is former Jacksonville mayor John Delaney. The school celebrated its 35th Anniversary in 2007.
In March 2006, The Princeton Review ranked UNF number five in their list of "America's Best Value Colleges," and also named UNF as a "Best Southeastern College". UNF's status as a "Best Value College" was recently reaffirmed in the 2009 edition of the Princeton Review.
History
The university was founded in 1969 after one thousand acres (4 km²) midway between downtown Jacksonville and the Jacksonville Beaches was put aside for the campus. Until this time, the only publicly funded institution of higher learning was Florida Community College at Jacksonville. J. J. Daniel, Chairman of the Florida Board of Regents, was instrumental in getting the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Construction on classrooms and buildings began in 1971 and UNF opened in the Fall of 1972 with an initial enrollment of 2,027 Juniors, supported by 117 faculty and more than 150 staff. Originally, like the University of West Florida, UNF was designated as a "senior" college, meaning that it would enroll only upper classmen and graduate students.
UNF graduated a total of thirty-five students in 1973. The school was quick to expand, and was given accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in 1974. The school's mascot is the osprey and was officially adopted in November 1979 over other popular choices such as the armadillo, the manatee and the seagull. The male and female versions of the mascot are known as Ozzie and Harriet.
In 1980, there was a legislative effort to merge UNF with the University of Florida and no longer be a self-sustained institution, but a bill proposing this was vetoed by Governor Bob Graham. Freshmen and sophomores were admitted for the first time in 1984. Enrollment at UNF exceeded 10,000 in 1995, and in Spring of 2000 it broke its commencement record, graduating over 1,000 students.

Question: Does anyone go to University of North florida?I will be a freshmen there and am just looking for someone opinions and inputs on what the school is really like. Feel free to list the good and bad.20 months ago
Best AnswerI am about to be a senior at UNF and I absolutely love it. Live on campus your first year if you can. You will meet so many more people that way. Go Greek! It doesn't matter if you decide to join a panhellenic, NPHC, or multicultural sorority.. You can't go wrong going Greek! I didn't go Greek until my sophomore year and trust me, it was a heck of a lot better than my freshman year. Get involved. Join clubs, student government, athletics, or anything else that interests you. UNF is growing from a commuter school to a large university. The people who hate UNF are the people who have no connection to their university. If all you do is go to class and go home, of course you won't like your school. Take advantage of everything UNF has to offer. So I suppose the good would be all the opportunities for a rich student experience UNF offers. The bad would be parking, constant construction, and the lack of food choices. As a freshman, you'll be able to use the brand new student union once it's built. There's going to be lots of food options in there (and possibly a beauty salon?), but until it's completely built, your only options to eat are the cafeteria, Sbarro's, Outtakes (convince store), and the sushi/ice cream place. The cafe really isn't as bad as everyone says it is. I think people just like to hear themselves complain. Congratulations on becoming an osprey! Swoop! |

Those two schools both has Mass Comm. Just interested in the area's of jacksonville and orlando. And how good are the schools. Any info would help! Thats what I said. I wanted to go south by why go to school in the mainland. Thats why im thinking jacksonville is better. Not a big fan of huge cities with tons of traffic.23 months ago
Best AnswerI like Jacksonville and the communications program is pretty selective and well-regarded, but it doesn't have the nightlife and entertainment of Orlando. Personally I think Orlando is too crowded and too expensive - traffic is crazy and public transportation non-existent. Too far from the beach, too. I mean, why come to Florida then live hours from the beach? I don't get it. |
