I chose UWF because of its radiant campus and welcoming environment. I also couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay close to family and the beach!
UWF comprehensive scholarship programs and financial aid offerings played a significant role in my decision, ensuring that I could pursue higher education without overwhelming financial burdens.

The teachers actively work with their students to provide the best education possible and there are a ton of high-impact practice opportunities I wouldn't have access to at other universities.
