University of West Florida 11000 University Parkway, Pensacola, FL 32514

"The campus itself is decent and classes are adequate. My only issues are that the university is money hungry and with the inadequate/poorly planned parking spaces. UWF will nickel and dime you everywhere they can. Most of the professors are awesome, but some of the other staff need to be better. While of course everyone should be compensated for working, the primary mission of a university should be to educate the next generation of intellects. It should not be to nickel and dime students in a struggling economy. Imagine if the person who could discover the cure for cancer, or bring humans to Mars, was never able to begin their journey because their money was squeezed out of them at the door."

"Overall, UWF has a good facility that offers many great classes with experienced professors. However, some topics are not done particularly well here. If you’re looking to learn video production or video editing then I would probably look for another school with more knowledgeable and experienced professors. The film classes that I took in 2023 (film production 1, 2) are more of an amateur film appreciation club here rather than an educational or valuable video production class. The professor I had did not have any experience with modern editing software (Final Cut Pro, davinci, premiere, or blender) but rather only had experience with technology from the 1980’s and 90’s when film had to be physically cut and taped together. Almost all learning in this class was also done through YouTube videos which was annoying considering how much I payed to take the classes. Other than these classes, I’ve generally enjoyed attending here and would recommend anyone considering this school to just do some due diligence on the quality of the education you will receive for your particular major."

"The very BEST university I almost never attended."

"Absolutely awful experience. As another commenter mentioned, this school is a money grab, starting at the application process. Not only did the admissions office only respond five or more days after I sent an email (multiple times), they take the application fee (like most schools, it's non-refundable) whether or not your application is completed/meets the school's criteria for an admissions decision! Absolutely absurd! Looks like I dodged a bullet early. UOWF, do better."

"Exceptional regional university. The staff and faculty generally seem to care a great deal about the opportunities for the students to learn and grow academically and personally. The campus is the perfect setting for any nature lovers, with miles of running/biking trails and canoe/kayak options right on campus."
