I'm curious about the size of the University of Florida in terms of student enrollment. Is it one of those huge state universities with tens of thousands of students? I'm trying to imagine what campus life is like.
Yes, the University of Florida is indeed one of the larger state universities in terms of its student population. Currently, it has over 60,000 students enrolled, with around 34,000 of those being undergraduate students and the remaining being graduate and professional students.
This large size does mean that the campus has a vibrant and diverse student life. With this many students, you can be certain there will be numerous clubs and organizations tailored to a wide array of interests and hobbies. However, keep in mind that with larger universities, class sizes can be larger, particularly in common prerequisite courses. Still, as you progress further into your major, tend to become smaller and more concentrated.
Like with any college, individual experiences can vary, but hopefully knowing these numbers gives you a clearer picture of what attending the University of Florida might be like.
