Wow, thanks for the thorough response!
I went to Michigan State which has a gigantic campus, so I'm ok with walking a decent distance. I used to routinely walk 2 miles to get to class up there. But I definitely see your point where the places near 34th/Archer might say they're a mile from campus, but they're actually much farther from any class. I'll be studying Geography at UF, which is based in Turlington, but I think it's one of many programs based there... I'm not sure where the majority of the classes are held.
I also love the idea of a balcony... I will definitely look into Hawaiian Village.
