Probably I would have liked to get to know more local people. As I met many of them but at the same time many other weren't that interested in getting to know foreigners.

It is a great University! The campus life is just amazing and the academics are ok. Gainesville is a small but nice and very vibrant city.

My experience at UF was extremely fulfilling. I improved my English skills, I travelled around Florida and some other parts of the US (even though getting a cheap flight from Gainesville is quite difficult and you might have to go to Jacksonville or Orlando to get the best deals).The courses were very interesting and exciting.

J'aurais aimé savoir les complications administratives qui peuvent se présenter lors de l'inscription à l'université. J'aurais pu être plus préparé: posséder tous les papiers et m'attendre à d'interminables procédures.

Préparer un budget afin d'être prêt à toutes éventualités. Préparer touts les papiers requis avant de quitter pour la Floride. Contacter les professeurs des cours choisis pour savoir s'ils se donnent encore. Vivre près du campus !

Les États-Unis étaient, lors de mon séjour et toujours actuellement, dans un période anti-terrorisme. Il n'a pas donc pas été facile d'entrer au pays même en temps que canadienne. Il faut donc préparer son séjour bien à l'avance pour être sûr d'avoir le bon type de VISA.

I spent less in almost every category because I was sharing the expenses with my roomates or my friends each time we wanted to cook or to travel.
For example, when we wanted to travel, we shared a car with 6 people and we would go in cheap hotels on the way.
It is also important to note thatr Gainesville is a student city and that all the prices are adapted to that fact.Nightlife was far less expensive than in any other town so that any student could afford to go out at night.
Concerning food, it depends if you want to eat healthy food or not. Fruits and vegetables were more expensive than in France but it was easy to eat with a few dollars.

I paid great attention to my budget so I didn't go through money problem. I would recommend to open an account in the host country , especially if you want to travel through the USA or abroad during your stay.

Comentario personal
A lot of night spots!! But my favorite was the "Twylow" on friday night (latin night). Otherwise, there is a lot to do but there is too much hip-hop and RNB clubs for me... Gainesville is a university town wtih a good nightlife, a lot of activities within the university: cinema, theater, sports... There is a lot of buses until 3 am (university/ downtown). All is very well organized! But there is not a lot to visit... If you want to travel, there is Orlando, St Augustin quite closed to Gainesville. Or there is a special bus for the weekend that goes from Gainesville to Miami, so you can spend the WE there. It is cheap and quicker than the Greyhound!

Please organise something more for the international students. I found them by myself but only from my own country and study field. it would have been nice to meet more international people. This was the only thing I missed in my whole experience

I had the best time of my life. If you ever get the chance to go, do it!! And don't worry about the money too much. The US is expensive, but you can better enjoy the money you spend than think about it all day.
Travel tip: Miami!! And of course Orlando with all its parks.

It is almost impossible to travel in Florida without a car because the rail system is less organised than in France. To go out of Gainesville, we had the choice betwen car renting or Greyhound buses, which are not very comfortable for long distances.
If I had known this before, I would have buy a car with other students at the beginning of my stay.

To succeed at the University of Florida, you need to keep in mind that you're here to study and work seriously for your exams. It may be harder than in other universities because there is always a holiday atmosphere with sunshining, people smiling and plenty of things to do!
This university is perfect for open-minded students who like to live in a multi cultural state. Indeed, many students at Gainesville come from Miami and are Latino Americans or Afro-Americans. As a consequence,Spanish is spoken a lot and classes are given to study Latino or Afro Americans history.

Be careful when you take your plane ticket to go to Florida. If you need to stop over in Washington or Chicago, plan to spend at least two hours at the checking (nobody cares if you miss your plane to Jacksonville or Miami) .
I have seen people forced to sleep at Washington airport because they had missed their plane and that the next one was in the morning!
