Going to UF, but don't know where to live!

<p>Hi everyone! I was recently offered admission to UF and will be attending this fall. The only problem is I'm torn on where to live on campus. I am leaning toward Lakeside, because I have heard it is some of the nicest living on campus. However, I also heard that it is VERY far from the center of campus. I am a social person so I don't think meeting people will be a problem, but is Lakeside a good place for a freshman to live? And if not, where is? Thanks for any feedback!</p>

<p>I was also leaning towards Lakeside…but if you Google Map the distance between there and Plaza of Americas part of campus, it’s a 31 minute walk/7 minute bike ride. I’ve been told by current students that it takes about twenty minutes to get to classes. So, now I’m leaning towards Springs and Beaty Towers.</p>

<p>I’m thinking I might just live in a traditional freshman dorm, like Jennings or Broward. How are these two compared to the other double room dorms?</p>

<p>Same with me! I like the idea of the social aspect of the communal-style dorms, but at the same time the suites are really nice. However, I’d rather be toward the center of the campus.</p>

<p>Hey, i’m someone who grew up an auburn fan, but is now going to Florida next year, so now i’m a converted gator, but did have some fun times rooting for auburn for 17 years (especially the UF games in 2006 and 2007) </p>

<p>GO GATORS!</p>

<p>@Nc7777 yeah when I was watching those games I never would have thought I’d be a Gator! I’ve had my heart set on Auburn for a long time, but the oos tuition made it impossible</p>

<p>I would NOT recommend lakeside for a freshman, its SO far.
