Areas of study open to exchange students

It may be hard to get into courses offered by the College of Business, since priority is given to other groups of students (like exchange partners of the Business College).
Please note this does not apply to Economics courses, since they are part of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (and not the College of Business)

Housing assistance

On-Campus Housing is limited and therefore not guaranteed to students.
• Students can indicate interest in living on-campus via their online application. Upon submission of the complete application, students will be considered on a first come, first serve basis until slots are filled.
• The on-campus dorm for exchange students is Weaver Hall. Weaver Hall is part of the International Living Learning Community.
• UF offers support for off-campus housing through the Off Campus Life office.

Ultimately, students are responsible for their own off campus housing.

Students are encouraged to contact the Office of Off Campus Life for information and assistance with off-campus accommodation.
