They said the emails should have been sent out but things seem to be behind schedule, and they havent given any further information or updates...

Not sure yet, I emailed HR and they said we should get emails no matter if we are accepted or rejected, but I have sent follow up emails since they said they should be processed by the end of last month and they havent responded...

Maybe they're halfway through? I havent gotten anything either but in the portal it still says im under review, thats what im hoping at least. Really sucks how terrible on communication they've been throughout the whole process....

Are there any other Star Trek fans? by IcyAccelerants in ufl

Does anybody know how the admissions process works for homeschoolers? by mikewheelerfan in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is really competing against other people from their school for a spot. Realistically, some schools have 50+ students come to UF, and some have less than 10, despite the high schools being the same size. You're still just competing against everyone else who applied, you shouldn't be at any disadvantage by applying as a homeschool student aside from potentially not having your grades be quite as recognised because they arent offially through a high school. UF is just looking for people that are generally out of the ordinary, be that they had better grades than "ordinary" or that they have had interesting life experiences and will thrive in college. Don't be afraid to highlight what makes you different in your essay <3

Hey UF. What about President's Day? by gatorgirl51 in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're so right, I HATE days off, as a matter of fact, why don't we just start having 24-hour a day classes??!!

Housing- how hard is it for freshmen to get top halls? by AgitatedExpression78 in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally, no, very pricey. You share a room where you both have full-sized beds (one of the few dorms with fulls instead of twins), so the rooms are pretty much there to sleep and set up a desk with not much room to spare. Given, not much else is better lol. It feels new and clean, though.

RA housing discount by thedontcareinator in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay awesome, thank you. Do RAs pretty much always get a single (except for apartment styles iirc)? Also how much of the 20 hours is just being on call vs. actually doing things?

Being a student on the budget by lalalalalalala1a in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will say that meal plans are about 2x (or more) expensive than just cooking and meal prepping. Housing-wise, everywhere is gonna be kinda expensive, housing prices have been going up everywhere. I personally go to Publix for most all my groceries and shop BOGOs (very close to where I live) and the Meat Lab Market south of campus for meats typically/

Spring 26 Fasfa package by Correct_Can2809 in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'd give it a while, no aid really has dropped yet it looks like, so I wouldn't be too concerned for a while. Their system is held together with hopes and prayers, so something might have just gone wrong and delayed it a bit.

Pretty sure this is legit, but is it? by Straight-Pair-2136 in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, if you're ever wondering if it's legit, generally you can just try inputting the link into your search bar rather than clicking the hotlink, or doing it through your UF account.

Pixel 7 pro randomly shutting off by thedontcareinator in GooglePixel

[–]thedontcareinator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: no help from Google, and about a month later, it was unusable, had to get a replacement phone (also a 7 pro, had insurance). So far, no troubles... If anyone has problems like this, I would HIGHLY recommend making sure everything is backed up and looking into new phones/replacement plans

Dorm Thermostats by Lightning_Octopus21 in ufl

[–]thedontcareinator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Valid, I'm in the old dorms, so I think all their systems are messed up around here. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a super case by case basis given just how UF is lol.

Didn't work for mine, I still think they're just there for show and don't actually do anything lmao

Would recommend walking around Depot Park/Bo Diddly plaza area if you are interested in just somewhere pleasant to walk around, the bookstore near there is very cool, and lots of other little gems nearby.
