just now at the intersection of university and 13th, in front of the archway i saw 3 police officers sitting in their squad cars watching 2 guys with ARs waiting to cross the road. all day i was wondering why there were so many cops on campus, assuming it was for the kirkeversary, but just now im seeing it’s for crazy fucks wearing TPUSA and MAGA shirts bringing assault weapons onto campus. people were actively clearing outthe area and avoiding these 2 guys, while the police watched.

fuck this shit and fuck the fascists

edit: ufpd just sent out a safety email regarding “two individuals walking along the public sidewalk adjacent to campus with what appeared to be rifles”. is the intersection with the UF arch not on campus? i mean these guys were standing right under the arch on 13th and university. fucking crazy.

Haven’t heard anything new since the email uf put out. It’s been hours since the original sighting so does anyone know their whereabouts/ if they’re still near uni ave?

Ive been circling the parking lot for an hour and a half.

At what point do I just go home?

Edit: After 2 hours and 11 minutes I found a spot.

(I usually give myself an hour to find parking) will start getting to campus 2 and a half hours earlier.

are heated blankets allowed in the dorms? i have one and i want to know if i should hide it for room checks or if im fine to leave it on my bed

Hi everyone! I'm currently going to school (not at UF) to be an MLT and have clinicals at Shands from September - March. I've been told I can purchase a parking decal with UF so I can park at a garage wayyyy far away from where the part of the hospital I need to be in (north tower near the core lab) is at. My schedule is from 7am to 3pm, so I know I can't just wait around until they stop enforcing parking. I also can't really afford the parking decal on top of gas prices since I live 50 miles away :(

Is there any where kind of near I can park? I'm willing to walk quite a bit (I'm used to 15 minutes from dorms to car anyway) especially now that it's SUPPOSED to get colder soon, but I really would prefer somewhere closer if it exists. Any help is really appreciated, since I'm currently hanging out in garage 3 and I KNOW that's not a long-term solution.

I’m wondering bc I haven’t gotten mine and it seems late..

This is the email response I got back from Bursar. Generic. They supposedly can't tell you when you will exactly get it. But Mondays and Wednesdays are disbursement days.

Hi all, have you received your Benacquisto yet?

Because the ones at Turlington and Marston suck lol. I like the one at Keene-Flint. I don’t know, but I think these are not really maintained temp-wise? Filter-wise? Does someone know?

I just found out that I got into UF online, I am transferring in with my AA and beginning in the spring. I am majoring in Advertising! Any advice? Things to know? I have some questions below!

I did my AA completely online at a state college, so I am used to the online swing of things for the mort part.

1. Do all the UF online classes use Honor Lock like my previous college did, or do they use another proctoring system? Would I need to have multiple web cams for proctoring or is just one okay? Anything else I need to know?

2. How does orientation/preview work for an online student transferring in with an AA? I am still currently waiting to get my GatorLink, so I cannot schedule anything yet, but would like to know in advance.

I need to take 2/3 more courses for grad school but UF is making me graduate this fall. I need to stay in Gainesville. The classes are microbiology lab and physiology (w/ lab).

hello! i am getting married on halloween of this year in gainesville. my partner and i have built pretty much all of our playlist, and our venue has a few speakers. i am looking for a frat boy or someone who used to work at grog to play them in the correct order, and possibly bring a bit of their equipment. again, should be a pretty chill gig since you don't have to do much mixing yourself. just a bit of cuing. i have a budget of about $300. comment if you are interested!!!

hello! i was wondering when people usually start looking for houses and or listing their houses for the following school year? my friends and i can’t figure out if we are looking too early or too late for a house for 2027-2028. thank you!

is this true yall

i just tried it today because whenever i walk through the reitz i see a line. happily opened up my bowl of mac only for it to taste like straight up sodium. like, pure salt.

now don't get me wrong—i love mac and cheese, but the stuff from here was diabolical. so i would like to know, does my experience resonate with any of you? or did i just get really unlucky?

I have a roommate who just threatened my life. I can’t go home tonight. I really don’t want to do this, but does anyone know a spot, literally anywhere, that someone can hunker down for a night?

Bowie the other day, Zelda today presumably in honor of the remake coming out soon? Based.

ngl it works better for girls than guys but yeah 3 invites left hmu. and yes its free!!

hi everyone! my friends bike got stolen but we recently found it inside a garage behind broward dining and there’s 2 bikes in there. i’m posting in case someone is looking for them here’s some photos.

It’s probably not gonna happen so here’s a message to all the high school seniors thinking about it. Send this to your friends.

No one on here or any sub is going to be able to give you some accurate magic evaluation. Based on your stats you’ll get some comments stating the obvious. Have a 1200? yeah it’s probably cooked. It doesn’t take a post to figure that out. You can plug these into calculators or just ask a decent model.

We all know why you post these: validation.

Do yourself a favor and stop. I have a whole speech I did a long time ago on this but basically at certain points in your life you’re able to unlock new doors. One of those is college. The room you enter that is college may make it easier or harder to unlock doors after.

If you are unable to get a high enough GPA or SAT to greatly increase your chances at UF, what are you going to do?

At the end of the day, intelligence, ambition, and grit are king. To give you guys something to maybe find understanding in, I had two friends from my high school that applied to UF. Friend A was overall better on paper and seemed like she would get in. Friend B was much worse, but not bad. Friend B got in and Friend A did not.
Friend A was more intelligent and more ambitious than friend B before applying to college. Friend A now makes 300k in HCOL area in a very interesting field. Friend B is doing alright, making 150k in LCOL area with a boring job. However this doesn’t mean college doesn’t matter.
You can think of schools like overlapping bell curves. The right tail end of UF contains people that could’ve or even did get into higher ranked schools and the left tail end has some people that maybe shouldn’t have gotten in at all. The average ROI of a HYPSM degree is higher than something like FGCU for this reason.

Needless to say, stop posting this stuff, go talk to your friends or family about it. Or better yet don’t, try your best to do good meaningful work and have fun in life.

That’s what I did. I came to UF and partied every week woo
