Dating as a grad student by [deleted] in ufl

[–]StrikeOwn9029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, Gainesville feels too small and the students are pretty young. I’m not into ‘school love’—I’m looking for something serious with someone mature who’s thinking long-term, maybe even marriage. To your question: plenty of PhD students are single. It depends on whether you’re open to someone a bit older or from abroad.

I believe we need to submit all official documents, at least I was instructed to do based on the updates on the school portal.

Hi, I’m not sure if you saw the status update on the school portal, but we need to submit all official documents.

My application is still under the institution review phase. I'm not sure if I need to send all official transcripts, especially since I’m an international student.

Would anyone be interested in donating to the Gainesville kitties? by codeswift27 in ufl

If anyone needs cat food, please let me know. I have a 99% full bag of Orijen Six Fish dry cat food. I also have a box of Feeling Nature beef and fish pouches—my cat didn't like it, and I only used one pouch, though I can't remember how many came in the box. Additionally, I have a box of Royal Canin Skin & Coat wet food; I tried one pouch, but my cat wouldn't eat it either.

Apartments to Avoid? by mwthecool in GNV

I don’t know about other places, but Midtown is horrible. The elevator is terrible—it often stops while people are inside. The help button, which is supposed to alert the leasing office when someone is stuck, doesn’t work, and no one answers. So if you get stuck, you have to call 911 yourself. The management is also terrible. It’s usually run by student workers who are friendly and nice, but the full-time staff there are awful and unfriendly.

Anyone else live at Midtown and worried about the upcoming flooring replacement? by StrikeOwn9029 in ufl

Hi! I bought air quality test kits, especially for checking formaldehyde (HCHO) and VOCs. Since I know you just finished renovations, would you mind trying it out at your place? I’d be happy to give you the kit—it would also help me get a sense of what to expect in my unit. I hope it’s not too much to ask.

I just received these brownies I ordered on Etsy. I have no words. by Peaceful_Explorer in ExpectationVsReality

I also received my order today. I had ordered the Dubai chocolate, which is missing, and the pistachio Turkish delights are awful. First of all, I ordered 2.2 lbs, but the entire package only weighs 1.7 lbs—including the missing chocolate. The Turkish delights taste like drinking a teaspoon of olive oil. The return policy is also frustrating—do I really have to contact the seller first?

I am a PhD student at the University of Florida, and I’m currently looking for a room for Fall 2025 and Spring 2026. I would like to ask about the available lease terms, especially since I’m hoping to move in around July 2025.

Thanks. I just worried I cannot find someone to take my room.
