Campus Life

Again- there is something for everyone. A lot of great places to eat and hang out while studying or between classes.

The dining hall provides a lot of food daily. There's a large selection for a variety of dining styles. The only problem with the dining halls is that the quality decreases as the semester goes on. By the end, the food is not made as quickly or as well. On-campus restaurants that aren't the dining hall are as you might expect. They are chains (Chik-fil-a, Burger King, etc.) and they are as good as any other off-campus location.

Defintely delicious and I am NOT a fan of cafeteria food. There are plenty of options and the quality is fantastic.

Hated the meal plan food. Lost 9 pounds in 6 weeks just because I couldn't eat it. Not that great of a selection of on campus restaurants either.

The food is okay, you can find better food really close off campus.

I did not use the dining facility but friends told me the food was good.

There are 19 places to eat on campus--some with multiple places to eat. Likewise, there are many meal plans you can choose from, including: the 7 day unlimited, 5 day unlimited, 14 meals a week plan, and declining balance (debit card for food). Each meal plan comes with allotted flex bucks you can use around campus. Moreover, there is a Chipotle on campus and numerous Mochi stores if you're in the mood for frozen yogurt.

The food can be really great or really bland. Meal plans can be a little expensive, but they are convenient if you're on campus. I would recommend for your first year, but not after that. There are great restaurants all over Gainesville though.

Lots to do in Gainesville. Already tried some of the local favorites, can't wait to try some others.

Food's pretty good, as long as you aren't going to the dining halls...

Everywhere and huge part of campus culture

Greek life is very prominent. I've heard that only 15% or so of students participate, but it seems like every other person you meet is involved somehow.

They control the student government, so they sort of control the campus, even if they are only 14%

Greek life is a huge deal at UF, if you aren't a part of it you're an outsider.

Joining the Greek community was a great decision. There is always someone to hang out with, study with, and help you pick classes. If you are interested in getting involved with something on campus I know there is a sister that can help me do it.

There are a multitude (62) Greek institutions at the University of Florida. Most rush in the fall, so if you're interested in the Greek life then you should have no problem finding the right sorority/fraternity to join.

62 to choose from.

Greek life is huge, tons of fraternities and sororities.

Was not a part but from what I can tell it is a good experience but separate from non-greek people

Have not experienced in and my social circle does not extend that far, but I know some people really enjoy and it gives valuable networking opportunities and many way to become involved on campus in positive ways.
