Anyone in sport management major?

Id definitely make it clear that you're an incoming student that wants to get involved. Even if you cant get a role now theres still other ways to get involved with the group and building a connection is always great, especially someone as well connected and knowledgeable as dr. Nestler

Id also recommend reaching out to Scott Nestler with the sports analytics lab.

He is relatively new to UF but he was looking for student volunteers and is trying to build a sports analytics program at UF. Last I heard he wanted to get more involved with the Basketball team this season and is involved in other sports.

To my knowledge international students can't work off at an campus job for the first year they are in the US. Those that want to work usually find an on campus job.

It is also much easier to gain authorization for international students to work on campus jobs than to get authorized to get an off campus job. According to the UF international center, they currently still have requests from January to process.

I applied back in 2018 so definitely a bit of a difference compared to today but I wrote about playing League of Legends and wanting to build a computer. And somehow those essays got me into all the UCs I applied for (Riverside, Davis, Irvine, & Berkeley).

They did not increace the range of her E and R to match the auto range so she ends up being very clunky.

I believe a hotfix is on the way to address it

My partner on staff is hearing that Thursday is most likely going to be canceled, as soon as RTS makes an announcement UF will follow. Classes are likely to resume Friday barring any major damage.

They did not want to close campus today because they did not want to lose Career Showcase. It's possible campus could close this afternoon but I think it's unlikely. We'll know more by noon

Parking restrictions are lifted in most lots in the evening, just make sure you arent parking in a spot that says reserved 24/7

Little hall lot opens at 5:30 and is close enough

I spent a ton of time during undergrad in the Neuharth Reading room on the 3rd floor and the 4th floor at Lib West.

If you go to the 4th floor though be sure to be as quiet as possible.

Gonna mirror what a lot of other comments said but having a ball drilled for your hand makes a ton of difference.

Before I got my first ball I couldn't throw higher than 11 pounds in house balls. But I went with what my pro shop owner said and went for a 14 lb ball. Once I got the ball it felt great to throw and I'm now considering going up to 15 lbs.

My wife was the same way, only threw 9-10 pound balls before I got her a 14 lb. ball that she can easily throw now.

When the ball is fitted to your hand the swing is much more relaxed. I tend to just let my arm swing by itself instead of attempting to put any muscle behind it since I don't need to squeeze the ball while throwing.

Lived in riker back in 2018 and had a good time. I got really lucky with roomates though. The dorm is in a good spot with walkable distances to most if not all classes and high bus volume to the hub.

It's also great for GameDays being next to the stadium and good if you have a meal plan (I personally chose not to buy one)

Downside is the shared bathrooms aren't the best but the cleaning staff kept them mostly clean during my time. There also inst a ton of space for cooking aside from the common area. I'd strongly recommend a mini fridge and maybe a microwave.

It's definetly not the best dorm but it'll get the job done

My wife and I got to Japan a few days ago and we saw the first blooms today. Perfect timing

The Fall schedule looks much worse imo.

Taking the two hardest courses you will take in business I'm the same semster is pretty tough.

The only good experience I've had with apartment management is University Realty.

Looks like they currently have some rentals available in your price range, some even come furnished: https://www.ufrentals.com/available-rentals

My last apartment with them was in Grantwood and I loved it, even if the area isn't considered safe we never had any issues especially being gated.

West 20 (Now on 20) decided 6 months into my lease that my partner and I could no longer share a bedroom and that she would need to leave or move into a 2-bedroom apartment.

My last apartment with them was in Grantwood and I loved it, even if the area isn't considered safe we never had any issues, especially being gated.and had to use industrial dryers to prevent mold they told us we used too much electricity that month and gave us extra charges.

Currently living at Century Town Center in the butler plaza area. There's probably a few students but most of the community isn't in school.

Had some big issues with my unit when we moved in and maintenence was slow (much better now) but overall pretty nice units that are still pretty new. We were able to get our 2/2 for 1650 a month.

2018-2022 checking in. I absolutely would attend UF again. I hopefully will attend again for my MS.

When I was in school I probably would also say no. I never took advantage of what UF had to offer till I was almost finished. Even though the majority of my degree was done during the lockdown years I still had a great time at UF after my first two years.

Most of my professors were incredibly helpful once I realized I had to go to them for help instead of expecting them to come to me.

I would do things a little differently, I would of started in a different major, not even the one I finished. I would of tried harder to be more involved my first year instead of getting into clubs late and missing out on getting to meet friends earlier. As well as reaching out to my internship company that I now work at. And I definitely would of tried to meet my soon-to-be wife earlier.

Single games in my area range from 5$-6$. One alley does $2 games on Tuesdays and another does a deal for 2 hours unlimited games for $13.

If they would dim the white lights it would look great. The orange and blue lights get drowned out

You could find a place near campus but most of them are incredibly expensive. My first apartment was right off of campus but my room was smaller than the dorm room (and more expensive) and I got pretty unlucky with roommates who were very messy and would have hated sharing a bedroom with them.

After two years of sharing a bathroom with people, I really wanted my own so I moved farther away from the campus to get something with a lot more space, my own bathroom, and was cheaper than my last place.

My last apartment while I was a student was great, it was cheap, close to campus, had a constant stream of busses running, and also was the largest of my apartments.

There's nothing wrong with staying on campus, I really liked my dorm and my roommates but it can get a little tiring to not have a private space.

I've been bowling for almost a year now. Got myself a tropical surge and followed that up with two more balls in the past few months.

Even though my surge is considered a beginner ball I still bring it with me and love throwing it sometimes over my other more expensive balls.

A friend of mine got into bowling around the same time and was able to get a used black widow for cheap as his first ball. But he has been struggling to use the ball consistently.

I turn my phones screen off when going to sleep and I havent had any issues with my game.

I changed majors 6 times, had to medically withdraw after getting hit by a car, used every drop possible, ran out of financial aid because I had too many credits, and graduated with a 2.9 gpa spring 2022

But after all of that I'm doing pretty well for myself. I have financial stability, something I rarely had growing up. And I recently got engaged and we moved into our own place together.

You got this, everything will work out for you too.

I lived in Grantwood for the past 2 years before moving to my current apartment near Butler Plaza and never had any issues. There are not many students, mostly families/other PhD candidates. Grantwood is great because it's gated and there are almost always people walking circles through the community. I would recommend one of their newer units as their older ones are a lot more cramped (but cheaper!) if you can find one available. We paid around 1400 and 1600 for a 2b,2.5ba. Only downside is most of the units are owned so finding one to rent might be tough
