To my dismay, I was actually quite impressed with the city. I liked the brick, which made me think I was back in Tallahassee and Main st., which was so freaking adorable and a fabulous place for college kids to hang out. But what they were seriously lacking was a Landis Green, (a quad of green for students to sleep, tan, and play sports on in the center of the campus)and a more compact campus. I did like how all the houses and apartments were set up and much nicer looking than the ones at FSU, but they are also much, much pricier.
I went to the see the bat cages at UF and waited almost an hour to see the bats practically fly into my face...it was highly entertaining.
In a way, UF and FSU are a lot alike, wither their brick buildings, Spanish moss and big trees, and cute local restaurants right around the corner. So why does everyone like to hate on each other? Besides the football, I would have to say the people. My best friend Joanne said their was more weird, nerdy kids there while at my school it's all blondes and sororities. the Greeks rode scooters at UF and indie kids ride them at FSU. There's just different stereotypes at the two different schools. But all in all the make up, the classes and education is typically the same.
but, needless to say, I think my little sister, Nikki, would like it better at UF than at FSU. Who knows, maybe we'll have a house divided!
