Downtown Gainesville is very busy at night and there is a lot to do if you enjoy hip hop music. As I was under 21 when I went there, I was not allowed to enter all the bars and clubs but I would strongly recommend the "Fat Tuesday" bar and the "Lotus" club on tursday . Otherwise, the university also offered free cinema (every friday) or concerts.

Logement
Type de logement: Appartement/maison
Organisé par: Université d'origine
Si j'y retournais je choisirais: Appartement/maison
Pourquoi?
I would choose to rent an apartement at the same place (La Mancha apartements) because many exchange students used to live here and that's the best place to meet a lot of people coming from different parts of the world. MOreover, I was sharing my flat with two south american roomates which allowed me to improve both my english and my spanish!

The University of Florida offered a lot of housing possiblities for students and all of us could live decently thanks to the wide variety of prices in residences or houses.

My home university in Paris provide 50% of courses in English, so I had no problem in understanding teachers. It was more difficult with people my age since I was not at ease with slang at the beginning. After a couple of weeks, I was able to understand easily any kind of situations.

Dépenses habituelles
I spent less in almost every category because I was sharing the expenses with my roomates or my friends each time we wanted to cook or to travel. For example, when we wanted to travel, we shared a car with 6 people and we would go in cheap hotels on the way. It is also important to note thatr Gainesville is a student city and that all the prices are adapted to that fact.Nightlife was far less expensive than in any other town so that any student could afford to go out at night. Concerning food, it depends if you want to eat healthy food or not. Fruits and vegetables were more expensive than in France but it was easy to eat with a few dollars.

I paid great attention to my budget so I didn't go through money problem. I would recommend to open an account in the host country , especially if you want to travel through the USA or abroad during your stay.

It is almost impossible to travel in Florida without a car because the rail system is less organised than in France. To go out of Gainesville, we had the choice betwen car renting or Greyhound buses, which are not very comfortable for long distances. If I had known this before, I would have buy a car with other students at the beginning of my stay.

Recommandation personnelle
To succeed at the University of Florida, you need to keep in mind that you're here to study and work seriously for your exams. It may be harder than in other universities because there is always a holiday atmosphere with sunshining, people smiling and plenty of things to do! This university is perfect for open-minded students who like to live in a multi cultural state. Indeed, many students at Gainesville come from Miami and are Latino Americans or Afro-Americans. As a consequence,Spanish is spoken a lot and classes are given to study Latino or Afro Americans history.

Be careful when you take your plane ticket to go to Florida. If you need to stop over in Washington or Chicago, plan to spend at least two hours at the checking (nobody cares if you miss your plane to Jacksonville or Miami) . I have seen people forced to sleep at Washington airport because they had missed their plane and that the next one was in the morning!

Recommandations de cours
Some courses are broadcasted on TV when too many students want to attend the class, which can be disturbing for French students, used to go to class and to interact with teachers. Therefore, it is important to know that teacher assistants are available to help at anytime.
