<p>Hi everyone!
I've applied for Fall 2009 admission, and also for Graduate Housing. However, I realize that chances of getting on-campus graduate housing right off the bat are slim. I wanted to ask those familiar with Gainesville for advice about living off-campus. How serious is the parking situation? I wouldn't mind living a little further away from campus if I could park on campus.
I'm looking for a one bedroom, my fiancee will be visiting on the weekends, so I need the privacy.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>The parking situation is dire. If you do not live on campus, the only decal you can get is for the commuter lot.</p>
<p>So my chance of parking is higher if I live on-campus? Are the buses any good?</p>

<p>The bus system is pretty good. I only had to walk about a quarter to the bus stop when I lived off campus. If you're a commuter, god speed to finding a parking spot past 9am.</p>
<p>hahaha, so the parking is the same as my current U... you have to stalk and follow people heading into the parking lots!</p>
