[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving politics aside, I was turned off by the high ratio of students living off campus and amount of classes taught online. [/quote]

I went to UF. Most students live off campus because it’s fun. It’s a huge college town. Many live in their sorority or fraternity house or there’s ample apartments very close by. I never lived on campus at all and had a very full college experience. My parents lived 5 hours away and I needed a car to go home, which is a massive challenge on campus. Hard to park or store a car anywhere. [/quote]

They have no choice, there isn’t even enough housing for freshman.  [/quote]

NP - there typically is a choice. You put down a deposit at the time you apply. But there is plenty of great, convenient off campus housing very close (as in a block or two away) to campus so it’s not an issue either way and doesn’t limit access to any on campus facilities and campus life. And you end up living with other students as well. So many pick that simply to have more modern housing, a kitchen, a private bedroom…[/quote]

And no adult supervision or planned social events that don’t revolve around alcohol.[/quote]

Adult supervision? They [i]are[/i] adults, dildo. Land the helicopter.[/quote]

Dildo?  I don’t think you are an adult.  Again, if you don’t want your freshman in a dorm, go for it.  Most parents, and students do.  The very best colleges have residential colleges where the kids live all four years with the same cohort.[/quote]

You are being ridiculous.

I went to UF in 1979 and never lived in a dorm because they were so crowded you had to lottery in.

I lived a block off campus with a roommate and the entire complex was UF students. I loved it. I was in a sorority and a fraternity little sister so I had my co-hort. My freshman classes ranged from 200 seat auditoriuma and larger to 20 person classes.

The fun and school spirit was off the charts.  And no slogging to class in 10 degree weather.

Gainesville is a college town through and through.
