Course recommendations
Les cours pour undergraduate sont généralement beaucoup plus facile que ceux dispensés au Canada. Il ne faut donc pas hésiter avant de prendre une session à temps complet.

Read the homepage very well before going there. Make a big list of courses you want to follow, since many can be canceled.

Start arranging the paperwork very early. Buy a car Don't have a small budget for this area, everything is expensive but the fun is worth it. Find a good place to live, for example an international student complex.

to get to Gainesville, prefer Miami or Atlanta, they have direct liaisons by plane. If you prefer bus there are shuttles from Jacksonville and Orlando and it's a lot cheaper!!

I had lots of fun at the latin bar Rythym, but actually all the bars were great. Of course you can't miss Sarbucks, or the Java Hut on University for a good coffee. The best lunchplace was Cafe Gardens, also on University av. Besides that you can't miss the Gators if they play a home game. A nice place to relax and hang out with colleuague students is Lake Alice. You can also spot gators from your canoe or Kayak.
