UF Student Apartment Must-Haves
Necessities for Gainesville Students
Now that you are officially a UF student, you have bought linens, decor and kitchen utensils for your Gainesville student housing. However, now that you are a Gator, there are several items you should purchase that will make life much more fun. Before you move in, make sure you get everything on this list to make the most of your time at college.
Season Tickets
Gainesville is a community where everyone comes together during football season. The whole town dresses in orange and blue and tailgates before home games. In order to be a part of the event and make memories, you should get season tickets to all of the home games. With these tickets you will be able to join thousands of students for every home game to celebrate and mourn the victories and losses. It will also be beneficial to choose student housing near UF so you will be able to get to the stadium quickly without needing to worrying about traffic.
Access to Sports Networks
Many games during the season will be located in areas throughout the US. When this happens, you will want to be able to watch the games even when you are not in The Swamp. Make sure that you get cable or a service that will allow you to watch the games. At The Standard at Gainesville, your spacious living room will help accommodate friends who want to watch the game with you. This will help to make your UF apartments the best place to catch the game in comfort.
Football Jersey
Each game day, you will see thousands of Gainesville citizens covered from head to toe in orange and blue. If you want to be a true fan, you need the correct Gator apparel. Jerseys look good on everybody and you can even choose the number for your favorite UF football player. It is something that will automatically align you with your school no matter where you are living.
UF Decor
Your Gainesville apartments should reflect your personality and interests. As a college student, this means you should use your housing as a way to display your school spirit. Hang posters, pennants and orange and blue decorations around your unit. If your roommates are not as excited to show their Gator pride, you can use this decor in your room. At The Standard at Gainesville, you will have your own individual room that will allow you to decorate in any manner that you choose.
Gator Calendar
Hang a Gator Calendar in your kitchen or living room in your UF student apartments. Your roommates can use it to coordinate schedules for roommate time or when you are going out of town. Further, you can use it to document the many sports events and club meetings at UF. The University of Florida has a lot of athletic talent in events other than football. Take time and attend some of these sports such as baseball, basketball, swimming and gymnastics, just to name a few.
