[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slight lean to UGA, unless your student plans to stay in Florida after. Athens &gt; Gainesville for college town, plus easy to get to Atlanta. Gainesville a couple hours or more to almost everything.[/quote]

Having visited both Gainesville and Athens, I disagree. I liked both towns but prefer Gainesville to Athens. Gainesville is 1.5 hrs to Jacksonville & st Augustine, 2 hrs to Orlando and Tampa. It’s a great, central location.[/quote]

Gainesville is very central, but do students at UF visit these places regularly? [/quote]

Most college kids rarely leave the campus area, maybe one or two times a semester max.[/quote]

That is not my experience. Maybe my friends and I are just more adventurous than most but we would leave campus and travel around the area almost every weekend.[/quote]

This was my experience too.  If you wanted to go out of town, doing so was reasonably convenient.  I will say that UF also has a ton to do on campus so for that reason, you could just as likely stay on campus and have a blast.  Importantly though, you had options.[/quote]
