After more than a decade of working with students at UF, Rabbi Berl Goldman said he’s seen students who were reluctant about religion in high school taking new initiative in college and growing to new depths.
Dear UF students:
There are a few basics to successful dorm living. Follow this advice, and you’ll survive with some money to spare. Don’t, and you’ll be broke. Simple, right?
Welcome, Class of 2017, to the University of Florida, to Gainesville and to the start of your college experience.
Welcome to the City of Gainesville, one of the finest college towns in the United States! We are very proud of our institutions of higher learning — also among the nation’s finest — and as Mayor I am committed to maintaining our strong partnerships with the University of Florida and Santa Fe College to offer you unique ways to enrich your experience.
BAM, I’m in the air. Establish a base, head butt, elbow to the face, elbow to the groin, shin scrape, foot stomp — I’m free.
For most of us, college is a special time. Perhaps for the first time ever, we get to experience the unbridled freedom of adulthood while still being afforded the tether of financial support. Without parental supervision, a new student might feel inclined to do anything and everything, if only as an experiment. Other students might feel frightened and lonely without the support and comfort of their loved ones.
The Reitz Union has been a staple for students since it was built in 1967. It has seen many additions and renovations through its time, but now the old Reitz Union will be completely redone.
Where you buy textbooks could end up saving you hundreds of dollars.
Most students probably got a traditional tour of UF explaining the school’s history, important places and resources. But there’s a lot of weird — and awesome — stuff that happens on campus they don’t tell you about.
The first day of Fall classes is quickly approaching — are you prepared?
Following Friday’s scrimmage, which was coined by coach Will Muschamp as “D-Day,” the Gators participated in their second open practice of the preseason in muggy weather Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium from 9-11 a.m.
Former Gators guard Kenny Boynton has found a new home.
When Will Muschamp accepted the position as Florida’s head coach entering the 2011 season, he inherited many considerable problems from a deteriorating program.
Night life in Gainesville is certainly not for the faint of liver.
Having a UF student ID — regardless of how hideous the picture on it from Preview is — comes with a few perks. The benefits are money-saving, time-saving and all around your ticket to making life in Gainesville just a tad easier.
Don’t be afraid of the people at the beginning of the year shoving those thick coupon booklets in your face. These people are some of your first friends you will make in college, so to speak. These are the people offering you discounts on daily needs. Why so important, you ask?
For freshmen, eating can be a challenge. You’ve been thrust into a new environment, and you’re feeling the birth pangs of your newfound adulthood. Nostalgic for your family and the nutrition they gave you, you must now cut the umbilical cord and find your own source of nutrition. How can you do this without starving or going broke?
Being a new student on a campus of nearly 50,000, chances are you want to do so many new things you get overwhelmed just thinking about them all. But slow down there, newbies. There are also several things you will want to avoid at all costs.
