Yeah, I plan to visit the apartments before signing a lease. However, like I said, I'm an international student, and might not be in Gainesville till first week of August. So, I'm just trying to settle on an apartment, if possible, before arriving Gainesville, so that it would be a much easier process for me.
Would you please suggest some apartments you think might be good deals in terms of price, proximity to campus, and basic amenities? And exactly how close is Mount Vernon to UF campus? Is it walking distance?
