SCHOOL COMMENTS
School Comments:
N/A

s

Florida is a growing program. The faculty is great and the staff is devoted, focused on the future, amenable to student suggestions, and capable. Plus, I have at least had the opportunity to interview for jobs across the country with some of the best companies out there. --Marketing

Beyond the relevant and innovative curriculum, UF offers a network of classmates and alumni that will be infinitely beneficial in future endeavors. --Entrepreneurship

s

Career Services at UF also has a long way to go before being at the level of the more prestigious schools. It has to get better companies to recruit. The school, in general, must attract better students (read: more Type-A personalities/leaders) to be taken seriously as a place for high caliber students to get their MBAs. I really don't feel that students there take the experience seriously. --Finance

I felt it was a rewarding experience, though a school with more prestige may have been better to help me obtain the type of job I really wanted. --Marketing

s

This school combines practical business experience and academic training flawlessly. This is especially true in the fields of real estate and finance. I worked with the biggest developers and real estate financiers in the state. One of the elective courses was a real estate appraisal class in which we had to appraise a hotel, office, multifamily, or retail property for a large company. I got a job offer to be the asset manager for the office tower I appraised.--NA

I found the class sizes and learning environment to be extremely beneficial. Many of the professors had real world experience and were not your typical theoretical academics. --Consulting
