<p>I was considering getting a car before I go to UF this summer. But really, is there much to see and do off campus? Please help!</p>
<p>i don’t know your financial situation, but i wouldn’t buy a car until you really think you’ll need one.</p>
<p>I get by without one because my roommate has one and I only really need one for groceries. and i don’t think buying a car for groceries is a good idea. biking is super effective in gainesville.</p>
<p>The parking situation is horrible. Get a bike or a scooter or take the bus to buy groceries.</p>
<p>Thanks. So is there anything fun to do off campus?</p>
<p>there are parties and stuff. clubs. camping and floating down rivers if you drive half an hour or so (let someone else be the driver on this one). sports.</p>
<p>the movie theaters are cheaper than they are elsewhere for students.</p>
<p>i’ve never had a ‘man, i’m so bored, i cant think of anything to do today’ moment in the 2 years i’ve been here if that means anything.</p>
