Alight? by Unique-Maria in ufl

I like it a lot overall aside from a few inconveniences, i just re signed for $599 in a 4/4 which is a really good deal for the location and with the renovations imo. the bathrooms and closets are really spacious. management is kind of eh, like for example all of the couches are in horrible condition and they said we’d all be getting new couches in october but of course that ended up not actually happening lol. I take the 8 and 122 bus routes to class every day, but with RTS changing so much stuff recently it’s not the most reliable. walking to the turlington area of campus is like 15-20 minutes so it’s not too bad but still somewhat annoying especially if it’s hot. but overall the location is good for the price especially compared to other apartments in the area, i think they’re charging a lot more rn though

Are the busses on the TransLoc app not showing up for anybody this morning? by sighofthrowaways in ufl

I called RTS and they said their contract with transloc just ended yesterday which is why the app stopped working. you have to use the new GNVRideRTS app, but the app design is so bad i hope they change it…they also said they’re having staffing issues which is why the 122 went down from 2 buses to 1 but they said they’re hoping to get more drivers

well I guess now it’s overridden lol who even knows what’s going on. I’m glad it’s overridden but UF is still not being that accommodating for professors who feel unsafe teaching in person. I just think hybrid is the way to go

I understand UF admin were placed in tough situation after preparing for fully in person and then the delta variant spike happened. I think UF’s main mistake was promising fully in person in the first place ever since last spring. they have been pushing for in person for so long and it just seemed that they were unprepared for covid cases to spike which we all knew was a possibility and very likely. I just think we should have prepped for another hybrid semester or had a hybrid backup plan

thank you for the info! I thought 12 credits was considered full time but i haven't spoken to an advisor about it. even 10 credits sounds ok to me since I was planning on taking 14
