UF added yet another Twitter account to its arsenal Monday.
The new admissions office account puts the number of total accounts associated with UF at 25.
UF was recently found to have the most Twitter accounts of any school in a study by UniversitiesandColleges.org.
The study also found UF third among the schools for most tweets a day, with an average of 45.8.
In addition to the Twitter account, the admissions office added a Facebook page, UF spokesman Steve Orlando said.
Orlando said the goal of the accounts is to help people become better informed about the admissions process and develop a connection with the office.
The Facebook page, he said, allows people to contact admissions officers directly with questions, instead of calling or e-mailing.
As a result, he said, UF hopes students are a little less anxious about applying to the university, though he doesn't think it will affect the number of applicants.
All the different types of social media come with a potential downside, Orlando said - the possibility of fake accounts.
It hasn't been a problem yet, he said, though UF has experienced problems in the past with false information being added to its Wikipedia page.
