Letter to the Editor: Are Santa Fe students disconnected from Gainesville's culture?

Mar. 17, 2019

Gainesville is a great town to live in. It has just about everything you need. There are countless restaurants, a thriving art scene and state parks that take your breath away. Gainesville’s gem is UF, one of the state’s most vibrant institutions of higher learning. The heartbeat of Gainesville is connected to the university, and so much activity is centered around it. The town’s culture is the Gators, which is why I feel like it is often forgotten that another college exists within the city limits.
