I went to UF for my undergrad. It wasnt the best place for me during undergrad because I was overwhelmed by the class sizes and just felt lost in the campus but graduate school im sure is much different there as you go through the program with pretty much the same small group. I lived there for 5 years from 2004 to 2009. Here are my thoughts: - Weather isnt bad, it gets chilly for florida there some winters but i like that it actually felt like we had a winter. In the summer it can be very hot and humid but you adjust. I still went running pretty much every day and survived by going late afternoons or early morning. - No beaches but there is a lake not too far from campus thats free to UF students to use -Pretty nice mall there and off archer road near the interstate there is a nice strip mall. - Because its a college town everything is usually open late - Having a car is definitely nice there as the bus system isnt that great unless you are just going to campus or downtown and even that isnt always super convenient. I almost missed a final once because the buses werent running on a saturday afternoon. But during the week and class hours buses run pretty much every 15 to 20 minutes. - Lots of off campus housing options and the rent was cheap in my opinion. I lived with random roommates 3 out of the 5 years I was there and just had my own bedroom and bathroom and shared common areas for less than 600 a month with water, cable, internet, and electric included. I liked not having to worry about my roommates finances. But lots of people rent houses together or apartments for fairly cheap as well. I also rented apartments with friends and paid about the 650 split for rent excluding utilities - UF has a lot of pride so during football and basketball seasons especially it can be really fun being a gator, tail gating, parties, etc. - Pretty active night life as well, lots of clubs and bars downtown. - not a bad commute to jacksonville or tampa area. I drove to both quite often during my years there. - streets around campus are pretty bike friendly - very diverse set of people especially due to the huge undergrad population - fairly rural and boring after about a 10 mile radius from the university. - beautiful and large campus - Pretty active alumni community which can be good for networking as well. Hope this helps someone in making their choice, good luck!
