UF Loves It's Athletics

While UF may be looking to save 1.2 million on cutting specific sections of libraries throughout campus (not good), they certainly are excited about athletics, student safety, and having fun activities available to everyone at all times. Reitz Union is amazing - very accessible and it's like a mini city with tons of food, resources, and important people. The Southwest Gym is exceedingly nice, as is the FL pool, stadium, and even the smaller racquetball gym near the Hub. Again, UF loves athletics and spends money on fitness like no other. Additionally, UF spends money on safety - which is necessary, but getting ridiculous. They're apparently installing cell-phone chargers stationed around campus, much like the the 'blue-light' stands that allow people in danger to call the police/call for help. General campus aesthetics are good - tons of people, busy, always something to do, lots of resources and trees.

Almost Perfect

The upkeep and maintance of the facilities is surprisingly good at UF, despite the age of the school. There are always prompt and periodic repairs or renovations going on, and the maintance team is very active and can even be called in my students, in terms of campus housing. For the most part, the buildings have very good layout, are always clean, and functional according to the purpose they serve. High tech, up to date, and visually pleasing!

University of Florida Athletic Centers Are Great!

The athletic centers here at the university are top-notch. They provide a variety of people to come and participate in physical fitness. The recereation centers aren't limited to anybody and the best part is that the equipment is free for student use. No expensive membership is required which makes college life better. The equipment is modern and one can always find people to work out with. In addition, the recreation center is always open late, usually up to 1 AM on weekdays and they are open early in the morning, at around 6 AM.
