Short Answer - Yes! SWOOP! The University of North Florida in Jacksonville is a great public university with hundreds of opportunities to get a great education and boost your professional network, all the while enjoying the college experience and making memories that will last a lifetime. *baby SWOOP* This video breaks down some of the "softer" deciding factors when it comes to finding a good college fit - things that will come down primarily to preference.
As you can probably tell, I've enjoyed my time at UNF, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. So, If you are currently in the process of shopping for a college, I highly recommend you book a campus tour at UNF, where you can see inside of the academics buildings, get a taste for student life, and also get a dorm tour. Of course, UNF won't be for everyone, but as those who have "found their flock" here know quite well, there's no place like the University of North Florida.
*An excerpt from my biography, if you were curious where you could look the "baby swoop" thing up at... here it is, clear as day.
"Austin Perkins popularized the baby Swoop in 2016-2018 at UNF through his eternal flame of school spirit passion and his extensive network of friends, acquaintances and allies working as a UNF Housing and Residence Life LCA and UNF Tour Guide"

What is it like at a German High School? This video is about my first week as an American Exchange student living in Germany with a host family and going to school at Gymnasium in the town town Herzogenaurach in the German state of Bavaria.
I am an American Student Living in Germany with the Full Scholarship Cultural Exchange Gap-Year Program, Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange. CBYX works with international exchange organizations like AFS, YFU, ASSEE, CIEE, Nacel Open Door and Cultural Vistas to provide exchange opportunities for hundreds of German and American Students Each Year.
What did I learn from this experience, you might ask? Where do I begin! First things first, there is no such thing as German "high school". You see, the education system in Germany is very different from that of our system in America. After what would be our Elementary school (Called Grundschule in Germany) German students have the choice between three different academic institutional to continue their education: Haubtshule/Mittelschule, Realschule, and Gymnasium. For more information on the German School system you can check out this webpage. Young Germany - https://goo.gl/A1kjyz

What's up with German stereotypes - Are they True? are they False? Can you pass the bread?
In this video, the CBYX Vocational Scholars currently in Deutschland talk about how the Germany stereotypes they have had personally (or heard from other) compare to the real thing experiencing the culture first hand.
Responses that are not centered around German stereotypes are the general day-to-day cultural differences that participants have taken note of.
More Interviews With CBYX Participants Coming Soon!
