For Graduate and Undergraduate Students with Families.--Apartment accommodations on the University campus are available for students with families. Application may be made prior to being admitted to the University.
For Single Graduate Students.--Village apartments are available to
single graduate students. Graduate students are housed within family housing
villages or in the Apartment Residence Facility. The Apartment Residence
Facility, part of the single student residence hall system, is available to
graduate and upper-division students. Graduate students are given priority;
however, there sometimes is a waiting list. To be considered for assignment to
the Apartment Residence Facility, a residence hall housing application must be
completed which is a separate and different process from applying for Village
housing.
APPLICATIONS
Each student must make personal arrangements for housing, either by applying to the Division of Housing Office for assignment to University housing facilities or by obtaining accommodations off campus. Inquiries concerning University Family and Single Graduate Student Housing facilities should be addressed to the Village Communities Office, Division of Housing, University of Florida, (352)392-2161.

full-time students as defined by the University, and they must continue to make
normal progress toward a degree as determined by their supervisory committees.

OFF-CAMPUS HOUSING
The purpose of the Off-Campus Housing Service is to assist University of Florida students, faculty, and staff in obtaining adequate off-campus housing accommodations. The Off-Campus Housing Service is a listing and referral agency for rental housing of all types. It is not an enforcement agency. It does not make rental reservations.
Persons who desire to use these services should request by mail or pick up in person at the Housing Office an off-campus housing packet.
This packet contains a list of major apartment housing developments in the Gainesville area with a zone locator map. Also in the packet is an information brochure on rental leases, deposits, rates, and insurances; a city bus route map and schedule; and utility application and hook-up forms. The Housing Office also maintains updated vacancy information on share (roommate wanted), mobile homes, rental houses, and other rental listings for reference during housing business hours, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. After hours, listings are posted outside the west main entrance to the Housing Office.
