You can come from Orlando : 2hrs by car, Tampa 2hrs by car. I don't recommend to come from Miami because the Greyhound buses are quite slow and it's 5 hours far. You can land directly in Gainesville without problem. Prepare or a first night at the hotel if you don't know anybody there because air companies may be very late on their schedule, like 8hrs for me...

Read the homepage very well before going there. Make a big list of courses you want to follow, since many can be canceled.

Start arranging the paperwork very early.
Buy a car
Don't have a small budget for this area, everything is expensive but the fun is worth it.
Find a good place to live, for example an international student complex.

to get to Gainesville, prefer Miami or Atlanta, they have direct liaisons by plane. If you prefer bus there are shuttles from Jacksonville and Orlando and it's a lot cheaper!!
