UF is always a fun drive and or walk. I always love visiting the campus. Its filled with fresh young faces. They often have fun events that anybody can attend. They have spectacular academics and they wont let just any joe shmoe in. This is good because universities are for the thirst of knowledge and that cannot be off set!... More

Best University I have visited in the country. There is a reason 50 thousand attend under-grad. The swamp is a great place to watch a football game. The campus is expansive and beautiful. More

I love UF sports, especially Gator football and men's basketball. Although I never attended the U as a student, several members of my family have. More than just a college, UF constantly has events going on. More

Born and raised in Gainesville!!! Third generation U of F graduate. Major university with the feel of a smaller city. Lots to do, but not so much congestion and fuss. More

Gainesville is clearly a university town with cultural amenities far exceeding what a town its size would normally have. The campus is spacious and well laid out, the "swamp" (football stadium) conveniently located close to everything. Although the campus is fairly non-descript, it is the cultural center of the state.
