<p>Okay, so my two best friends and I are planning on living off campus, given the fact that it's a lot more cheaper (or so we've heard) and I feel it'll make us feel a lot more independent living off campus. </p>
<p>However, we don't know where to start off. </p>
<p>Gainesville place sounds great, just they don't allow dogs, which we have one. </p>
<p>We're looking for a place with
-3/3 bed and baths
-Furnished
-Close to UF (walking distance, or bus transportation)
-Individual Leasing
-Less than $250 a month for each of us.<br>
-Dogs allowed. </p>
<p>Is it a lot to ask for? Or should we just start off living on campus? </p>
<p>Hmm well I don’t think Gainesville Place does 3/3 I think they just have 2/2 and 4/4. Living off campus is cheaper but living on campus for atleast a year is a good idea.
There is an article on swampit with someone giving good info about on vs off campus, check it out:

<p>Try Campus Club. It’s literally right down the street from UF, but it IS more than $250 per month. Campus Club is where I’ll be living and it is the cheapest apartments you will find in Gainesville. BUT my best friend and I toured them and they are beautiful. We can’t wait to live there. They are about $375 per month. BUT it comes fully furnished and that price includes utilities. :)</p>
<p>Id reccomend living on campus for the first year. You dont really need to feel independent. You need to go get active and meet people, which is a lot easier living on campus. Most apartments are 4 people so you might just have to settle and find someone else or get a random person assigned. Ha good luck with the whole 250 thing. The cheepest apartments are usally about 400 a month</p>
