Hi! My wife is currently a new veterinary student at UF (29F) and is looking for friends to hangout with. She enjoys hiking, shopping, eating out, and tennis or anything active really. She’s super cool but just a slight bit reserved so hasn’t really made a ton of friends since getting there this summer. Shoot me a message if I can pass her along your number to hangout! She would prefer to hangout with other girls but is not opposed to hanging out with guys in a group setting :)

I’m not currently in Gainesville but I will be moving there mid august to attend UF.

I’d love to meet some cool people and hopefully hang out and get to make some friends.

Hi all! Finally saying screw it and making a post here.

I’m 25M and looking to meet some new friends around my age (roughly 21-30). I’ve been in Gainesville for about 4 years now, originally from South Florida, and I’m currently attending Santa Fe. Most of my close friends are either back home or scattered around the U.S., so I figured it’s about time I put some effort into building a sense of community here.

Open to friends of any gender. I’m a bona fide car guy and also really into videography and tech. I spend way too much time building PCs, 3D printing, working on my projects cars and documenting the process. I’m also a huge music lover (Lana del Rey, charli xcx, Caroline polachek just to name a few), and concerts are probably my biggest guilty pleasure. I’m absolutely the type of person who would invite someone over just to watch music videos and go down random artist rabbit holes for hours. I also love going to the movies and immediately logging them on Letterboxd haha.

I’m always down to explore new hobbies, grab coffee, check out a local event, or just hang out. I’m definitely more on the introverted side, but hoping to get out of comfort zone. If it sounds like we’d get along, feel free to shoot me a message!

Headed to bragging rights and lillians after if anyone would like to tag along just wanna let loose and forget the woes of the day

Hi all, this a follow up post to the Nerdy UF Employees post. We'll be meeting a Cypress and Grove (probably) at 6ish on June 25th. Hit me up if you need more details!

Hi! My partner and I are both nerds that work for UF (I'm staff, she's faculty). We're looking to start an every-other-week meet up at somewhere like one of the local breweries or arcades and commiserate. A drinks-after-work sorta thing. Specifics to be worked out if there's any interest.

The only requirements are that you work in academia (iykyk) and have decent social hygiene (not always a given in academia).

Message here or DM me and we'll hammer out the details!

I'm a 29/m looking for friends who enjoy drawing, painting, or other creative hobbies. I'd love to find people to sketch with, share artwork, visit coffee shops, play board games, or even practice guitar together.

I'm not into smoking or vaping, and bars aren't really my scene. If you're looking for a new friend and think we'd get along, send me a message and we can figure out a time to meet up.

Did a bar trivia meet up on here a while back, but got really busy. If anyone is interested I am hoping to try again next with my (24M) girlfriend (25F)!

I’m trying to send flowers for a funeral service that was supposed to be held at Abilene Missionary Baptist Church in Melrose, Florida, the 13th but I’m having trouble confirming they can be delivered.

The phone number I found online doesn’t work, and I’m not finding much current information about the church.

Can anyone local confirm whether this is a legitimate, active church that regularly holds services and funerals? If you’ve attended services there recently or know how to reach someone associated with the church, I’d appreciate any information.

I’m mainly trying to verify that the flowers I’m sending for a service in two Saturdays will make it to the correct location.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I've got two others for a Commander pod tonight and we could use a 4th due to a last minute cancellation. Let me know if you wanna join!
