    Hi, Rylee. As a professor at UF, I really appreciate hearing your tips! It gives me insight in to the student's prospective. We have lots of mental health and wellness resources at UF, too. So important!

      --- My wife was raped by a UF professor -- when we went to campus police, they dismissed my wife's account and said there is nothing they could do. We ended up going to GPD and then the state prosecutor and now charges are being filed. --- My wife cries everyday and suffers from suicidal ideation because of this incident. --- Considering UF Faculty's history of rape and sexual assault on campus --- what do you think we could do to change this situation? ---

    I had no idea about rate my professor, I could’ve used it when I was in college. Also you’re right, make sure that you look to see if you actually need a textbook, I made the mistake of buying one and I never used it. NEVER AGAIN! 😂. These are very helpful tips btw, even for people not attending UF. Great video as always Rylee! Take care!

    Rejoice in youth! Your video was very helpful - not just for undergraduates but also graduate students. I got my MS in Mechanical Engineering at UF in 2013. The STEM course are indeed very difficult. Usually, the expectation is about 10-15 hours per week of studying for each class of 3 credits - sometimes more (e.g. fluid mechanics, biochemistry, data structures and algorithms, statistical methods, etc.). So, if one is taking about 12 credits it gets loaded. Burnout is common. Graduation was awesome though. My niece and nephew came from AZ to attend the commencement. Then we celebrated at Universal Orlando. As for books, some professors have "pdf" versions of the course textbook. I am now in a PhD in Data Science at Arizona State while working. I took a course in applied regression analysis last semester. I found at UF the statistics professor has a pdf version for free download. By contrast, here at ASU the book was about $200+ - lol. I just downloaded it from UF. I am in AZ now but still have my Gator pride. I recently bought a royal blue Ford Ranger Tremor 4x4 Lariat and put the gator alumni sticker and plate on it. There are UF Alumni across the country. I ran a half marathon at Glacier National Park in Montana last summer among snow-capped mountains. At the finish line the race organizer turned out to be a UF graduate from the 90s. He came up to me when he saw my Gator Alumni shirt. The same thing happened at a half marathon by Mt. Rainier in Washington a few weeks later. I heard a lot of "Go Gators!" as I wore my UF Alumni shirt. Best wishes!

    I would say to say sometimes waiting till the first day of classes to get books because my last semester of college two of my classes had a sudden change of of professor and then had another professor change halfway through because the professors had gotten. Two professors were fired before the semester began and were replaced by one professor who rarely showed up, and then was replaced by 2 different ones that taught at the University. Professors may have different textbook usage requirements.
