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.
