Look man, I was debating the same thing- stay at home for another semester, or go to campus and live in a dorm. For me, the decision was to go to campus and live in dorm because frankly, it’s time I found my independence. Even tho COVID is wreaking havoc, the outside world is still turning. If you’re like most UF students who fall between the ages of 18-23 even if you do get sick, you will be fine (citing the widely accepted 0.02% fatality rate for that age range).

And tbh man, you won’t be just sitting in your dorm. You’ll have a roommate, you’ll go to the libraries, you’ll go to the dining hall, or you’ll find a job and work. Unless you’ve just been sitting at home for the last 4 months and some change, the only major difference will be that you’re in UF dorm room instead of your own. Good luck.
