The occupation is starting to move from downtown toward campus.
About 30 people attended Occupy UF's informational meeting Thursday on Turlington Plaza.
The group stands with the Occupy movement across the U.S. and on other college campuses.
Occupy UF's agenda for the meeting focused on three topics: education, unions and the environment.
"Education is under attack," said Skye Schmelzer, a psychology sophomore. "What do we do when education is under attack? Stand up, fight back."
Attendees discussed reaching out to the community.
The Students for a Democratic Society and the International Socialist Organization voiced their opinions at the meeting.
"The Occupy movement is important to [ISO] because they understand and are angry about the greed of corporations and their influence in our politics specifically," said Erin Cass, a political science and European studies senior.
After returning in 2008 from two tours in Iraq, Eugene Hatley Jr., an anthropology junior, said, "This is not the 60s ... This is about making things better for everybody."
He said what happened on Thursday is exactly what needs to happen.
"We are trying to create order and nationalism," Hatley said.
