What is it like to be a freshman chemistry student at the University of Flordia?
I am interested to learn what it is like to be a freshman chemistry student at the University of Flordia. I have a high school friend that is contemplating studying chemistry at Flordia. They want to know, not only what it is like to study chemistry at Flordia, but also any other tips that might be valuable throughout the course of getting a degree in Chemistry at Flordia.
