Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I'd choose an apartement to be close to the city. Campus is too far away from the city.

Personal comments
Accommodation at UNF was ok. You can choose to share an accommodation with 3 other students (from the same sex!), and that's the cheaper solution, or you can decide to live in couple. In these 2 cases, you share a living room and the bedroom, and you have a kitchen. The other rooms on campus don't offer you a kitchen, which force you to eat on campus, at the univ. restaurant...and that's expensive!

Personal comments
An improvement could be realised on the price of textbooks; which are too expensive and impossible to find on campus, at the library. International students may be penalised if they are not aware of the high costs of the textbooks, which are the only academic support.

I spoke english most of the time except with the people from my country. Regarding the courses, the local language did not give me a hard time. Most of the foreigners try to speak english to each other, which prevent the others from speaking their own language.

In my opinion:
Stay home.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
Proposed courses are interesting and teachers available. For this reason, you can go to this university. If you think you'll have fun over there, you might be wrong; campus is too far from Jacksonville, and Jacksonville is not attractive at all.
