University of Florida Reviews and Ratings

• I used to live off campus. Buses were free all throughout Gainesville for UF students with our GATOR ID(student ID). College was a 10-15 minute ride. Buses came every half an hour or less. Ample availability. Shopping and food complexes are within walking distance, and nothing felt too far or inconvenient.
• Rent was 550 per month. Fully furnished apartment, my own room with an attached washroom. The apartment name is the BLVD apartments. 1400 sq ft apartment, me and three other friends . 4 bedroom, hall, and kitchen. Hot water, WiFi, washing machine, dishwasher, all included. Clubhouse, gym, and many other amenities, too like pool. The Indian Students Association helped me find that place. And they even provided airport pickups and picked us up when we first landed.

• Google Maps and WhatsApp groups are the main places I used to find accommodation. We faced issues contacting leasing management of apartments in the US from India, but other than that we didn't face any other problems. Choose places where Indians stay, as they offer a lower amount compared to on-campus accommodations.

• We found our accommodation by asking seniors who came here before us.
• Our monthly rent is 550 including utilities for a 4 × 4 shared apartment.
• Ac, washing machine, heater, dryer, kitchen appliance, gaming room, swimming pool, parking area are included.
• Stoneridge apartments, BLVD, Lexington crossing this are good option for Indian students as most of the Indians stay there.
• It  take 20 min by bus to go to University from our apartment.

• The majority of international and postgraduate students stay off campus as it is cheaper compared to on-campus. The challenge is to find a good roommate. Other than that, there is no challenge, as getting accommodation here is very easy, and there are lots of options to choose from. The recommendation is to choose from accommodation which has many Indian students living nearby.

It’s ranking and opportunities, as well as affordability and location I would say academically I haven’t done as well as I’ve hoped, but my GPA and grades are still decent. The social scene is an 8.5/10, as I’ve made lots of friends and have good involvement outside of class.

The University of Florida is a good example of an educational hub. It has a nice weather and a good city atmosphere.

Its a good experience as long as you take benefit of the services offered to you as a student. If you are paying such hefty amount make sure you extract every dollar out of it by honestly studying and making the best out of it.

My overall experience at UF was good. It was a great opportunity to pursue my master's program abroad as it not only helped me in gaining academics knowledge but also to understand and interact with people from different places and background.

I was quite sure about the features I wanted in the program I wanted to apply for. The University of Florida piqued my interest because it had excellent research work being conducted in the field I was most interested in. It is of course a prestigious university while still being economic. It has very good connections with NASA as well which provides exceptional work and internship opportunities to students.

Low tuition among universities with the same level of research and high reputation. I wanted to get into this university for more exposure and better facilities.
