About Off-Campus Housing Near University of Florida
University of Florida anchors Gainesville with about 53,372 students, and the whole town moves to the rhythm of the Gators. Game days at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, better known as The Swamp, shut the place down in the best way, with traditions like singing We Are the Boys after the third quarter and the Tom Petty tribute in the fourth. Campus is a draw too: Lake Alice sits in the middle with resident alligators and the world's largest occupied bat houses, where thousands stream out at dusk. Just south, Paynes Prairie spreads into open savanna with bison and trails. The student core runs west along University Avenue into Midtown, walkable and loud on weekends. Most students walk, bike, or ride the bus near campus.
University of Florida Housing Requirements
Freshman Live-On Requirement
UF does not require freshmen to live on campus, though plenty of underclassmen do because dorm space near the action is convenient and social. Once students move off, they spread into the dense ring of complexes and houses around campus.
Off-Campus Eligibility
The off-campus scene here is large and competitive, with lots of by-the-bed student complexes along the SW 13th Street and Archer Road corridors, walkable apartments in Midtown, and houses in the surrounding neighborhoods. Because it is a by-the-bed market, you typically sign for one bed with individual liability, get matched with roommates if you need them, and pay separately for parking. Many leases run a full 12 months even though you are a student, and furnished and unfurnished options price differently.
Lease Timing
Confirm whether utilities are bundled or capped and what parking costs before you sign. Check whether the term covers the summer, since that can change your real monthly number a lot.
