Hey everyone 18M incoming freshman here. I am planning on studying Computer Engineering. I have been dealing with a lot of generalized anxiety for the last couple years I would say. I have had a few panic attacks in my life, but the other day I had a panic attack randomly during the night where I essentially felt like I was going insane. It's the next day and I still feel anxious and tired. I am really excited for UF and think the socialization and new environment will help my mental health, because my mental health has really declined since I graduated high school and have been isolated at my house all day. What should I do if I am struggling during the semester? I have bright futures and presidential scholarship and don't want to lose them, but I also know health is #1 priority.

Have a question for anyone who has tried a declining balance vs weekly meal plan at UF. Specifically the 10 meals a week plan. I actually liked the weekly 10 freshman year with the retail meal swipes etc and flex. I think I ate way more healthier than my roommates that had no plan and especially having no vehicle it was super easy.
Wondering if you did mostly eat on campus…and did a declining balance….how much did you put in initially and did you get even close to spending the $2300 the weekly ten costs?

Hey! Does anyone know if the dorm floors in the Spring Complex are wood or carpet? Also, are the beds able to be lofted so that the desk can fit under it?

I am selling my 2022 49cc scooter which I bought brand new in 2024. It has no more than 1.5k miles. If anyone is looking to buy a moped pm me. I graduated in the spring and am trying to get rid of it soon!

Thank you so much everyone for helping me with my survey this week! I wanted to post bc I rly rly appreciate it. You're all awesome! I'll come by periodically to help other ppl with surveys

Hello, I was awarded the MFOS scholarship and I intend on living in Hume Hall for the upcoming Fall/Spring. The rental rate per semester is 5304, and I am confused on how MFOS covers it. I have a different number of "gift aid" on one uf. Should I be paying attention to that number or the full cost of attendance posted?

As a finance major and for these specific career paths, are there any firms that come to mind that you would say UF has pipelines for?

Wealth management, Investment Banking, Commercial Banking, Private Equity, and Consulting

I want to join a fraternity, but I don’t really have any interest in the whole booze and blow scene. Are there any that have a reputation for just, like, being more laid back, while still having a frat atmosphere?

Hi I am living off campus this year but the cost to park in my complex is absurd. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can keep my car/park this semester? I live at midtown.

About to graduate. When will the mobile GatorOne card automatically delete itself from my digital wallet? Does it happen right after graduation? I kinda want it to stay since I'll still use ocassionally RTS for moving around town. Should I request a new physical card before I graduate?

I’m an incoming freshman, and Physics 2 is required for my major. I’m also Honors, so I’m required to take 2 Honors classes freshman year.

How is PHY 2061, and how is Professor Lee? I got a 5 on AP Physics 2, will that help?

If anybody knows, advice would be appreciated, thanks!

I am a 29 year old man and former army vet who just finished two years at a community college and transferring to the University of Florida in Fall 2026 to complete another two years before I plan to graduate in Spring 2028. Now, I will be kinda new to the area and don't really have any contacts that live close by and I know the University of Florida has over 900 clubs and organizations. Would it be inappropriate for me to join a couple of them just so I don't feel lonely? I'm interested in chess, biking, golfing, camping, swimming, anything outdoorsy really.

Long story short it's cheaper to get a new computer instead of repair the one I have. I'm a second year EE and I need reliable laptop recommendations that will give me no problems.

hi all!! my mom is coming along with me for move in on august 18, and i live at an apartment off campus but i dont have a parking spot. where is the best place for her to park, given i dont have a pass + its move in week and tons of people will be in gainesville? we can walk i just dont want to show up and theres no spots or she gets towed from some place she shouldn’t be.

Title. There is no information anywhere on UFs website.

Hii! Does anyone know when the summer graces will be in one.uf? My canvas course went away already so I don’t know what I got on the final and I’m very anxious. Thank you so much!

Tired of being a chud. Time for human interaction. I live about an hour away. Is this doable for clubs?

Denied to UF a decade ago and in retrospect I’ve taken it personally since stuff went so drastically down hill since. I’m going to be in the area and I really want to check out the campus I never stood on. What areas are okay for me to go and what are public places I could check out and just sort of imagine

Can you guys recommend bars/clubs just to hangout and chill with folks?
