University of Florida Campus Life

Chick fil a, Starbucks, Moe's, basic food. Something for everyone.

Is the price point reasonable?

I keep seeing everyone say to avoid the meal plan. Are some dorms better equipped than others to cook in?

Do not buy a meal-plan!! If you must eat at the dining hall or on campus at all put that money into declining balance instead and try to eat as healthy as possible to keep the pounds off. It is better to save that money for groceries or bills if you have it though (if you ever plan to move off campus).

I heard food its ok. I buy my food at local Publix- much cheaper than in school meal plans.

The food is expensive and not that good, but UF is between many grocery stores, and you can learn how to be the best chef in your own dorm or home.

Food around campus is varied, and even the dining hall has a good variety. The only downside is that it can be a hit or miss at times and is definitely overpriced in my belief. On weekends, the food is also limited at the dining halls and they essentially just serve breakfast all day, so have an alternative.

Dining halls are pretty horrible but there are plenty of on-campus food places such as Subway and Chick-fil-a.

Gator dining is eh at best, but there are a lot of good places and midtown is always raving at night.

The food and dining are pretty good, but I would not go and eat at the dining halls every day. They have a wide array of plenty of restaurants!

Huge staple of the community, almost a must.

They have it

There are plenty of sororities and fraternities to choose from; Panhellenic and non-Panhellenic. I am part of a Christian sorority (non-PanHellenic) and I love it!

super expensive but it seems really fun and the networking connections seem awesome.

greek life runs uf, even though there is such a small percentage in greek life. you are able to get involved in so much more, plus it is your best bet at getting involved in student government. you get to participate in tons of philanthropy events, and go to lots of parties. plus you meet so many more people than you would not being in greek life (trust me, i didn't join a sorority until i was a sophomore). plus there isn't only ifc and panhellenic sororities and fraternities. there are academic based, cultural, and religious ones you can also join.

Greek life runs deep within campus. Not a day will go by that you don't see at least 30 people wearing their letters. Rushing is something that I would consider for everyone to do, just for the experience. Even if you don't plan on joining. It's a great way to meet new people and test your small talk skills. Which surprisingly becomes a pretty good tool to have in college.

Top tier chapters and always a party you can find if you know the right people.

UF is a huge party school.

There is greeks?!

I do not plan on rushing, but for someone who does, there is plenty of sororities and fraternities to choose from.
