Florida: A Great Value

A university education is one of the most significant investments a family makes. It is also one of the most important choices a student makes, as it will affect the rest of his/her life. Florida's tuition and fees are the lowest among public universities who are members of the prestigious American Association of Universities (AAU). UF's tuition is also ranked fourth in the nation for its value among state institutions.

A University of Florida education is a sound investment with unparalleled long-term benefits:

  • Florida's undergraduate programs are among the most highly ranked in the nation.
  • Florida's students are happy: More than 93 percent of freshmen return for their sophomore year, which is one of the highest retention rates in the nation.
  • New students will find that personal attention abounds: UF offers intimate learning communities, undergraduate research opportunities, and small classes and discussion groups. The average class size is fewer than 30 students.
  • The university provides a safe and secure campus environment, and Gainesville consistently is named one of the best places to live in the nation.
  • State-of-the-art learning facilities, including wireless networks in classrooms, dining facilities, lounges and common areas all over campus.
  • World-class research facilities, including scientific equipment, laboratories and a library system housing more than four million volumes - the state's largest information resource system.
  • UF offers a comprehensive support system for students to provide the best possible learning experience. The Dean of Students Office offers tutoring, counseling, peer mediation, academic workshops, career advising, disability resources and more.
  • UF has a much higher graduation rate than the national average among universities, and it has the highest graduation rate in the state.
  • UF graduates join an alumni network with over 226,000 active alumni in all 50 states and 131 foreign countries. Florida Gators are everywhere and are eager to help fellow Gators with career and professional connections.
  • The Career Resource Center helps thousands of students each year find summer internships, apply to graduate and professional schools, and find permanent jobs after graduation.
