University Of Florida • Gainesville, FL
Studying English (completion in 2006)
• 10/27/2011
"I am proud that I graduated from the University of Florida."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | yes | I wouldn't recommend my career but I would recommend UF. I would push them to actually choose a major and course of study in the field they like. I fell into office management and am not really using my degree. |
| Program Reputation | 5 | Like I said, English isn't exceptional. It is a Liberal Arts and Sciences degree that was to be used for a Master's in Education or Law school. |
| Program Quality | 6 | An English degree is nothing exceptional. It didn't open doors for me. The name of the University did. |
| Instruction | 8 | My professors were lovely and competent. I learned a lot about literature but it didn't really translate into the workforce. |
| How Difficult | 5 | I can't imagine the English program at UF was any better or worse than public university courses/majors by comparison. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | My major didn't really require hands-on experience. We read novels and wrote papers. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 8 | I worked and raised a family during my last year as a student. I found a class/schedule I could work with. |
| Academic Facilities | 8 | It is a well funded school with lots of TA's. If you don't have accessibility to professors, you could find a TA. |
| Social Life | 10 | Lots of people and the potential to make many life-long friends. |
| Placement Services | 1 | I didn't feel as though my life after graduation was a priority to anyone. |
| Alumni Network | 8 | The alumni association works very hard to secure donations. They are personable and mail out invitations to events pretty regularly. |

| Instruction | 10 | Students were prepared for the workforce when we graduated. The classes were very structured and we understood exactly what was expected of us. |
| How Difficult | 4 | I felt the material was challenging. The teachers taught us well and when we had trouble with something, they were there to help us out. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | Learning was a combination between hands on and book learning. There is a lot in this field that is hands on, while the terminology is book. | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 10 | PJC has many campuses. They also offer online, night, summer, and some weekend classes. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | The library at PJC is very well stocked. Also, we could approach our professors easily, and group study was encouraged. There was also a large computer lab where we could work if we had no access to a computer at home. |
| Social Life | I was not really involved socially at my school. I know there were events and athletics, but most of my time was spent moving closer to graduation day. | |
| Placement Services | 10 | PJC did a lot to help me find a job. I had a job immediately after graduating. |
