Transcription
Getting placed in the right dorm is one of the single most important factors affecting your first year at UF. Did you think your only option was a cramped traditional room with a random roommate? Think again. The location of the luxury dorms compared to on campus - they might as well just be on campus even though they are off-campus they're so much closer to my classes then my Lakeside dorm was. I like the luxury dorms a lot better because they're bigger, they're nicer, there's more amenities. I have 72 cable channels. There's a private bathroom attached to my room. I am not sharing with 30 people. The great thing about the luxury dorms is that they are actually less expensive than the traditional dorms. So, my parents aren't paying way more money for something that is not as nice. The luxury dorms are cheaper and nicer. The luxury dorms are located closer to UF classes and many of the traditional dorms. Rooms are up to 60 percent larger and you can choose from private attached bathrooms or shared bathrooms. Plus luxury dorms are less expensive than traditional dorm rooms. Which is right for you? I think the most luxurious dorm is Ivy House. It's almost like a sorority house. There's like Jacuzzi tubs in the bathrooms and everything. The Ivy House is the closest dorm to UF Sorority Row and offers single, double, and triple rooms. The rooms are spacious with elevated ceilings, private closets for each student, pedestal sinks large gourmet kitchen and cafe, and a large living room where you will meet other UF students and even the covered parking garage. and don't forget it's the closest dorm to Sorority Row. I ended up choosing Windsor Hall due to the fact that it's so close to campus. You know, I've found a really great roommate that I got to live with for the whole entire year Plus it's right next door to Sorority Row. I ended up joining a sorority so you know if I wanted to go to the house for dinner, I could go I could walk to campus At Windsor, every huge dorm room has an attached private bathroom and kitchenette. Their elevators park views in a sparkling onsite pool and a large living room where you meet other UF students. Also it's very social. I go to the pool once or twice a week and get to meet and socialize with all the residents. It's ideal for students who don't want to share a bathroom and want the biggest possible dorm room with the best possible amenities. I would choose Windsor Hall definitely. It's a lot bigger than the traditional dorms and although Ivy House is so nice, in Windsor Hall you have a bathroom actually attached to your room. At Ivy House, you know, it's right down the hall and you're sharing with less people than Broward or Jennings. Roommate matching works. When I filled out my application, I also filled out like kind of my my lifestyle preferences almost. Like what time do you I wake up, like how loud do I like my music, like if I like to have people over, if I'm messy, if I'm whatever, you know. Just all the things that are more important than just your gender your age, and they matched me up with this girl Ashley and we get along great. Roommate matching (thumbs up). Still not sure which luxury dorm is right for you? vVisit www Dorms For Gators dot com or call the dorm for Gators housing office to speak to a housing specialist. There's still time to change your reservation from a traditional dorm room to one of the luxury dorms. Schedule a tour or reserve your room online. We will help you find the right dorm for you.

The University of Florida Honors Program offers housing for freshmen at Hume Hall. This residentially-based academic community consists of two residence halls and integrates the housing needs of Honors residents with facilities, staff, and programs in support of the Honors Program.
In total 608 residents can be accommodated, and Hume Hall is located in the heart of the UF campus. The facility has a commons building, a number of multimedia-capable classrooms, faculty offices with an on-site academic advisers, a large activity room, and an information desk.[1]

Dependent children residing in the student housing with their parents are assigned to schools in the Alachua County Public Schools. As of 2015, residents of Diamond Village, Maguire Village, Tanglewood Village, and University Village South are assigned to Idylwild Elementary School. Corry Village and The Continuum are in the zone for Finley Elementary School.

Former facilities
There have been some buildings at the University of Florida that were used for housing, but have since been demolished or converted to other uses.[4]
After rapid increases in enrollment after World War II and the allowing of women to enroll, several temporary buildings were erected on the campus. These included
- Flavets (1945–1974) - Named after a contraction of the term "Florida Veterans," these former military housing units were located at three locations on campus, including Flavet I near the current site of the J. Wayne Reitz Union, Flavet II at the current location of Beaty Towers, and Flavet III at the current location of the Keys Residential Complex.
- Temporary Frame Residence Halls (1946-1960s) - One story frame buildings built in several locations on campus, including the current site of the O'Connell Center and the current Computer Science and Engineering building.
- Grove Hall (1946–1977) - Reconstructed military building relocated from Camp Blanding located on the current site of the Architecture and Fine Arts colleges
Other facilities built after World War II included:
- The King’s House (1954–1967) - Two white framed buildings on University Avenue originally built in 1921 and used for experimental housing arrangements. The King's House was an unofficial name for Building 880, the eastern building. The buildings later housed the Institute of Black Culture and the Institute of Hispanic Culture before being demolished in 2017.[5]
- Lonilair & Michael Halls, Pierce & Patrick Courts - Leased off-campus housing for women, located north of University Avenue near Anderson Hall and Library West
- Trailervet Village, Alachua Army Air Base, and Stengel Air Field - Temporary housing consisting of trailers and military barracks was located at the Alachua Army Air Base (now Gainesville Regional Airport) and Stengel Air Field (now Butler Plaza)
- Yon Hall (1966–1995) - Athlete housing located in the east side of the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. When the NCAA ruled against athletic housing, the Springs Residential Complex was constructed and the facilities at the stadium were converted into offices for several university departments.
- Schucht Village (1959–1997) - Apartment buildings constructed for veterans and their families, and later graduate students and their families. The facility was located near Shands, and the complex was sold to Shands in 1997. Shands subsequently demolished all of the buildings except for Building 271, which was refurbished and is now used to house transplant patients.
- Hume Hall (1958–2000) - "Old Hume" was large multi-story residence hall located at the intersection of Gale Lemerand Drive (formerly North South Drive) and Museum Road. The building was demolished in 2000 to construct the current Honors Residential College at Hume Hall.
