Hostel:

I will be staying in an off-campus apartment for mainly two reasons. Number one is the extremely high cost of on-campus housing. Number two is that a maximum number of graduate students, especially Indian students, reside in a particular area of the town. Thus, off-campus housing would be a more suitable and economic option for me.

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.

Hostel:

Most people live off campus. The average cost of living is around 600 if you want to live with all comforts.

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.

Hostel:

For my first couple of years, I commuted from home. And just at the beginning of this year, I moved into an off campus apartment with a couple of friends. I believe freshmen have to either board in the dorms or commute from home.

It is the best college in my state for the program that I am getting my degree in. I have always wanted to go to UF and decided at a very early age that it would be my first pick school. I also knew there wouldn't be a chance I could go out of state.

Hostel:

We cleaned our dorm weekly in the kitchen and bedroom areas, but a cleaning crew would come in once a week, for us, it was Fridays and would clean our bathroom. Nothing extensively was cleaned, as it was only 5-10 minutes tops, but they did spray and wide down the sink/mirror.

The distance to home was rather close, and I was still able to use my Bright Futures Scholarship money, as well as gain a local scholarship to the University! In addition, my close friend was planning on attending this college, so it helped finalize my decision.

Hostel:

I live off-campus in an apartment complex. I live alone in my apartment, but know many friends living off-campus with roommates. UF has over 50,000 students and nowhere near that much housing so the majority of students live off-campus within walking distance.

My college has an amazing Health Science program, and from here it is possible to move into the University of Florida Medical School without changing towns again! Gainesville is also less metropolitan than most other Florida universities do which was appealing to me.

The pharmacy school is one of the best in the country and matches a lot of their students for residency programs. It is also where my mom went to undergrad. The college is also in a great location and I love the town.

They gave the most scholarships and the engineering program was really good. They were ranked in the top ten public universities in the US when I applied, and by being a freshman in 2018, the ranking just increased to the top 8.

Hostel:

I live in an off-campus house with other students, although apartments are available I preferred for myself a home to go to at the end of the day. Houses are very available and very close to campus.

I love nutrition and how it impacts every aspect of health. I myself am student-athlete and as such have personal experience in nutrition impacting life, or in my case, athletic performance. Further nutritional sciences have a science emphasis which appeals to me.

Hostel:

I lived on campus for my freshman year because it was convenient, especially since I didn't have a car at the time. In my sophomore year I lived off campus because I wanted to cook my own meals. It's also nice to be off campus when it's still very close to campus.

I wanted to stay somewhat close to home while also saving the most money. The Florida Bright Futures scholarship is a big help and persuades many to stay within Florida for school. I also had a lot of friends going to UF.

Hostel:

During my first year as a student, I lived on campus in a dorm with another student. In the years following that for my sophomore junior and senior year, I lived in an apartment with 3 other roommates. My first apartment had two other roommates and the subsequent apartments I knew all the students there.

I chose this school because it was close to home, affordable with state scholarships and grants, and it is a great school. It also had a very old time feel to it that I really loved when I went to go tour it.
