Student Reviews
LOVE UNF !
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
Because of COVID-19, 3 out of my 4 classes are online. My professors are extremely helpful and are always willing to stay after and listen to any questions or concerns. The lectures are easy to listen to, I just wish I could have more in-person classes to have the actual feel of a classroom and to be able to collaborate ideas with my peers.
Very cheap for being average!

This university is very accommodating to students needs, and gives a good education for it's price (in-state). However it doesn't seem like there is much of a community at the university. In terms of academics, it is not rigorous but simply like high school continued.

As an international business major, my experience at the University of North Florida has been incredible. With an excellent business school, and even better international and study abroad programs, the university has helped shape and promote my love of travel and being able to study abroad.
