THE Dorm Room Thread for UF

<p>I figured that people have so many random questions about dorm rooms (myself included) that it'd be easy to just allocate all of that information into 1 place.</p>

<p>I'll start off the thread by providing 2 links. The first is the official list of dorm rooms for students:
<a href="http://www.housing.ufl.edu/housing/Facilities_index.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.housing.ufl.edu/housing/Facilities_index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>The dorm rooms are separated into east and west campus. The website linked above gives a brief description of each dorm room and a floor plan. Unfortunately, the floor plan is NOT accurate as the same plan is used for almost every dorm room.</p>

<p>The second link is the cost for each dorm:
<a href="http://www.housing.ufl.edu/housing/Facilities_rates_summer.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.housing.ufl.edu/housing/Facilities_rates_summer.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Questions to other forum goers
1)With current UF freshmen moving into the dorms now and getting adjusted, i was wondering if any of you could take pictures of your dorm. I'm trying to get a feel for the size of each room. </p>

<p>I'm trying to make a list of rooms by:
A) Dorms
and B) if its a single, double, triple, suite, etc.</p>

<p>2) If you don't have a picture, what kind of room did you pick? A typical 2 peope to 1 room style, maybe a single? Maybe a suite, where 2 rooms are connected but 1 person per bedroom. Maybe even an apartment style</p>

<p>Thanks and put in your input!</p>

<p>Here is a typical room in Broward Hall (before the kids moved in):</p>

<p>Good stuff, anyone got pics of any variations from a regular double?</p>

<p>Hey, I'm in a double in Yulee. I left my camera at home, but hope to be purchasing one or getting the one I left soon. I'm gonna take pictures of the setup of my dorm as well as my friend down the hall (whose double is setup differently)</p>

<p>Sounds good and thx for the help : )</p>

<p>I'm in Riker. My double was surprisingly big... very high ceilings... carpeted. I love the Tolbert Area's location so far. Right near the Reitz Union (3-4 minutes), Gator Dining is a 1 minute walk, right next to the O'Connell Center and the Swamp. Right next to the Graham Area and all they have to offer. And only about a 10 minute walk to classes.</p>

<p>could i ask ya for a picture lucky? you can pm it to me if you'd like privacy</p>

<p>Here are a couple of pictures taken with a cell phone camera (low quality) of my double in Yulee</p>

<p>hope that helps.</p>

<p>What kind of room is that? Like building/type. I sent you a PM too I'm curious = )</p>

<p>Yeah that looks very different from the normal doubles.</p>

<p>whoa been so long since i saw this thread. if anyone cares to hear opinion, i decided on broward double with a friend</p>

<p>If you have any questions about housing, I can answer them. Just say I work for housing.</p>

<p>One thing, your guys (freshman) drink way too much coming in summer B. I know you want to make friends but there are other ways than drinking till you pass out in the bathroom in vomit.</p>

<p>ok since you opened it up for questionnaire = )</p>

<p>First of all i just wanna say the reason im applying summer B isnt to drink and party. Believe what I say or not, but summer b in my mind is a relaxed situation to get acquainted.</p>

<p>do you have any pictures of broward dorm rooms? How hard is it to build a loft?</p>

<p>I dont have a pic but I can probably get one. I know a lot of housing staff over there. The housing debt recently changed there policy and painting your room, building lofts, and flipping a certain type of bed (located in some dorms) are not allowed anymore. I am not sure if you can buy a an already made loft, but you cant build them anymore.</p>

<p>Damn that sucks. Guess I'll have to figure it out hehe</p>

<p>Ruo - I emailed you photos that my daughter sent me of her room, hall and the lounges in Broward.</p>

<p>i think you have my wrong email address= )</p>

<p>its <a href="mailto:MPSRuo@gmail.com">MPSRuo@gmail.com</a> or pm me</p>
