HOUSING

Marketing and Sales Management, University Agreement
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? This apartment complex was really good, I had access to fitness center, pool, tennis courts. Moreover I had a lot of facilities in the apartment itself : laundry, washdrier, dishwasher, microwave, oven, all charges and DSL included.
Personal comments:
UF offers a dozen apartment complexes located really close to it, by bus. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Student life dominates the city
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment Personal comments:
Every Wednesday night is Lady's night at Grog house (located on West university Ave) and then Ruebar and Rehab were clubs I have good memories of. Lake Alice is the spot to see alligators near the campus. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My academic experiences
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.

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
It wasn't a real problem to communicate in English before but after my visit for four months I had definitely learned to speak english in an american way. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
Probably I would have liked to get to know more local people. As I met many of them but at the same time many other weren't that interested in getting to know foreigners. In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
It is a great University! The campus life is just amazing and the academics are ok. Gainesville is a small but nice and very vibrant city. FINAL COMMENTS
My experience at UF was extremely fulfilling. I improved my English skills, I travelled around Florida and some other parts of the US (even though getting a cheap flight from Gainesville is quite difficult and you might have to go to Jacksonville or Orlando to get the best deals).The courses were very interesting and exciting.
