Nah this has to be wrong

#

I can walk in Gainesville during the night and I would be totally ok

#

however I am a male so canā€™t speak for everyone

#

But yea generally itā€™s safe

#

Is anyone else having issues with the housing portal

#

I cant even log in now

#

At first it showed no housing application or priority date, so I emailed and got my priority date fixed to Nov 2, but now I cant even login or reset password

fleet vale
#

Whatā€™s the housing website

deft spindle
fleet vale
#

Weird itā€™s not letting me log in either

#

I press forget password and itā€™s not sending me an email

#

It may just be a system error

thorny blaze
#

Did everyone receive their gatorlink info yet?

#

I got accepted but no email has been sent

deft spindle
#

i got mine

kindred ledge
south patio
glacial pine
#

got mine on the 26th

#

(and on the 15th)

deft spindle
#

apparently getting it early meant nothing

#

i'd be heated if i got that and they rejected me

glacial pine
#

i do have a friend that didnt get the email and then got into honors

#

so it really was just random ig

deft spindle
#

yeah

#

my school prob had like 40 ppl get in and I think I was one of 2 who got email

#

wonder how that one managed to slip up

glacial pine
#

damn

#

it was so funny

#

i called admissions about the email and they just said

#

"uh yeah can u forward that to my supervisor"

#

"decisions arent coming out for another several days"

deft spindle
#

so funny

glacial pine
#

yeah LMAO

#

And they were solid candidates too

#

33 ACT high 1400 SAT 3.8 gpa with solid extracurricular type builds

tiny plinth
#

Heading to Gainesville on Monday!

final pond
#

anyone know what email i should use for sending a letter to the office of admissions (im a florida student btw)

#

they dont list any sort of email

gray ice
#

They have a phone number listed if that works instead

final pond
#

no.... should i just use the "contact the office of admissions" box thats there?

#

for context, im asking them to re-evaluate my application for the summer term

gray ice
#

Ohh gotcha

#

I would, I donā€™t see any harm in it

#

If that fails thereā€™s a chat button that you could use & ask for an email on that

final pond
#

tried... it just brought me back to this page

woeful summit
final pond
#

sort of, I was accepted into the gator engineering program at Santa Fe, and I want to attempt to appeal it and ask them to re-evaluate me for the summer term on-campus

gray ice
#

You probably already saw this but just in case

IMG_5381.png
final pond
#

guess i should call then, thanks

gray ice

Good luck šŸ’—

#

bro casually dropped the hardest line mankind has ever seen

fleet vale
#

Financial aid out soon I think

#

Logged in and said ā€œFinancial Aid Summaryā€ I clicked it and it gave an error

#

Either that or the whole portal is just bad rn

#

Anyone wanna confirm?

lucid bough
#

Yeah it said the same thing for me and the action list is having an error too so theyā€™re probably getting it all ready to send out

fleet vale
#

Also has anybody else had issues with the housing portal

#

I applied on 2/24 and havenā€™t been able to log in since

#

I pressed forgot password and apparently it doesnā€™t recognize my email

deft spindle
#

I think itā€™s like that for everyone

fleet vale
#

Alright just wanted to make sure

#

They had me in timeout for a couple days so I couldnā€™t ask here šŸ˜­

gray depot
#

if u made an account yet

fleet vale
#

I donā€™t think I did

#

Where would I find it if I did

rich star
fleet vale
#

Where tf we find that email at

gray depot
#

oh

#

they should have sent a link to make ur ufl account

fleet vale
#

The gatorlink

#

?

gray depot
#

yea

fleet vale
#

Thereā€™s no email thatā€™s just username though

gray depot
#

did u not get an email like this

fleet vale
#

I did and I made my account

#

But the account uses a username not an email

gray depot
#

oh

#

well i think its your username + @ufl.edu

#

whatever username u chose on the gatorlink website

gray depot
woeful summit
#

anyone get an email for housing?

fleet vale
#

No

#

woeful summit

tiny plinth

It was incredible

gray ice
#

Iā€™m glad you loved it šŸ˜

#

sheā€™s gorgeous fr

tiny plinth
#

I think I might commit

#

What do yā€™all think

#

Commit or wait for the seven sisters šŸ‘€

gray ice
#

hmmmmm

#

put a housing deposit down but I would wait

trim jackal
gray ice
#

Thereā€™s no harm, that I know of, in waiting

trim jackal
#

Ye plus

#

You applied

tiny plinth
#

I didā€¦

#

And I did put all that effort into the essays

gray ice
#

yeah I would wait

trim jackal
#

Ye

tiny plinth
#

But the odds that I can afford them are slim

trim jackal
#

I know how you feel lol

tiny plinth
#

Like I just want to be done with it

gray depot
#

got a housing email

fleet vale
#

I still havenā€™t

#

Whatā€™s it about

gray depot
#

well my dad's email lol

#

its not on my email for some reason

#

oh nvm it sent it to my school email i think

#

this

fleet vale
#

Fuck did I not get housing

gray depot
#

idek what this email means tbh

#

doesnt say anything about choosing a dorm

fleet vale
#

Did you apply for housing

gray depot
#

yea i did like in february lmao

#

apparently chances are really low when u apply that late

fleet vale
#

When in feb

#

Did you commit?

gray depot
#

not yet xd

#

like feb 17

deft spindle
#

I also got housing email

fleet vale
#

I applied right after the decisions

#

Fuck i didnā€™t get housing

deft spindle
#

priority date is Nov 2 though I did it super early

#

you 100% did

#

it went to gatormail

#

not ur email

fleet vale
#

Where do you access gator mail

deft spindle
#

just google

#

gator mail login

#

and signin with gatorlink creds

fleet vale
#

Oh nvm I got it

gray depot
#

oh nice

fleet vale
#

I applied a week after you

#

Maybe this ainā€™t guaranteeing housing

deft spindle
#

getting the email does not guarantee housing i dont think

#

lol

gray depot
#

it doesnt say what dorms we get though

fleet vale
#

Just saying what to do if you want housing

deft spindle
#

i think its a mass email

gray depot
#

oh

#

rip

fleet vale
#

So what do we have to do right now

#

Nothing?

deft spindle
#

believe so yeah

fleet vale
#

Oh it says theyā€™ll start to send stuff tomorrow if you get housing

gray depot
#

it says this

fleet vale
#

Yeah

#

Well ima be in Florida tomorrow

deft spindle
#

not being able to find a roommate till all decisions come out is pain

#

gray depot
#

apartments are better tbh

#

i got 2 friends going to uf so we prob gonna get apartment

deft spindle
#

I personally dont want to drive everyday

gray depot
#

deft spindle
#

ik

#

UF campus is MASSIVE though

gray depot
#

like 10 min walks

#

to campus

#

ez

deft spindle
#

yeah but campus itself

fleet vale
#

I need them to send financial aid soon

deft spindle
#

is insanely large

gray depot
#

true yea

fleet vale
#

Flights are getting more expensive and I only have one weekend I can visit

gray depot
#

thats why im gonna get a bike

deft spindle
#

everyone there has a scooter

#

its crazy

gray depot
deft spindle
#

like hella scooters

gray depot
#

yea xd

#

its infested with scooters

fleet vale
#

I can only really visit the weekend of march 18-20

gray depot
#

fleet vale
#

Fall

dense plover
deft spindle
#

gtocha

dense plover
#

how many yall committing

gray depot
#

so im prob gonna get a cheap bike

deft spindle
#

so somewhat likely

fleet vale
gray depot
#

oh i see

fleet vale
#

But Iā€™m not visiting until we get a financial package bc if itā€™s too expensive to attend itā€™s just off the list

deft spindle
#

shoutout florida bright futures

#

šŸ—£ļø

gray depot
#

facts

fleet vale
#

I wish

gray depot
#

too op for us

deft spindle
#

I went to the UMiami scholarship thing this weekend and ngl its growing on me

#

gonna be a tough choice

gray depot
#

but uf is still pretty cheap oos right

normal edge
#

is it too late to apply for housing?

fleet vale
#

Are they good with scholarships? Looking for something around $10k or more for it to be ā€œaffordableā€

deft spindle
#

not too sure, everyone i know who applies and goes are in state

fleet vale
#

Iā€™m not gonna get anything need based probably

deft spindle
#

and if youre getting in you most likely have 100% tuition paid

gray depot
fleet vale
#

Iā€™m oos

gray depot
#

cause most in state kids got brightfutures

fleet vale
#

I want my total cost under $35000, would put it slightly above my in state college Iā€™m considering

deft spindle
#

Thats pretty realistic I'd think

fleet vale
#

I think total cost before scholarships/aid is $45000

gray depot
#

damn

#

still cheaper than most ig

deft spindle
#

try to talk w the fin aid people cause UF is so good

#

really am a big fan

fleet vale
#

Iā€™m really hoping this shit pulls through bc this is literally my last hope for college šŸ˜­

gray depot
deft spindle
#

I literally dont know a single person who regrets going there

gray depot
#

ucf has way cooler logo

deft spindle
#

gross

gray depot
#

the knights tho

#

their merch is coo

#

l

fleet vale
#

Fuck the knights

deft spindle
#

I have tons of vintage gator merch cause my dad went there the old stuff was sick

fleet vale
deft spindle
#

Im excited for summer

#

its basically summer camp

#

theres like 2 classes a week

gray depot
fleet vale
#

I think itā€™s kinda funny that in years past my school was like 3/36 in acceptances here and then we went 3/3 this year

deft spindle
#

damn

#

why so few or so many last year

fleet vale
#

The 3/36 was the last 3 years

#

The 3 this year idrk

#

We usually have about 10-15 apply per year

noble swift
fleet vale
#

Maybe naviance hasnā€™t fully updated

noble swift
#

also wtf are the umiami scholarships

deft spindle
fleet vale
#

UMiami gives full rides like itā€™s candy on Halloween

noble swift
#

WTF

#

i got 68k

deft spindle
#

my total came out to like 230k i think

fleet vale
#

I know a girl who got a full ride for nursing

deft spindle
#

literally was shocked LMFAO

fleet vale
#

How expensive is Miami per year

deft spindle
#

its verryyyy expensive

#

like a joke

#

tuition alone is 60k

fleet vale
#

Private schools

#

I hate private schools, costs so much for what

noble swift
#

incredibly expensive but i think 70% of applicants just have a ton of financial aid

deft spindle
#

they have to

fleet vale
#

Like private schools are good theyā€™re just expensive

#

Yeah I know

deft spindle
#

99% job placement within 6 months of grad for finance is whats drawing me there

fleet vale
#

Theyā€™re usually pretty good with need based stuff

deft spindle
#

they also just have hella rich north eastern people who want to live in miami who will pay full

#

its like 70% out of state

fleet vale
#

Weā€™ve had 4 people in the last like 4 years get full rides there

deft spindle
#

they also take a portion of bright futures

#

6k a year I think

gray depot
#

does umiami even offer masters?

deft spindle
#

yeah

gray depot
#

oh

#

i didnt apply

#

maybe cause the campus kinda small

deft spindle
#

idk if i like the small campus or not

#

being able to walk everywhere is nice

#

but also idk

noble swift
#

someone from my school got full ride last year

gray depot
#

the surrounding area is also pretty mature

#

bars and all

deft spindle
#

their honors program is sick too im pretty sure it removes the requirements of gen ed classes

#

so you hop right into major

#

gives everyone time for a double major / some minors

noble swift
#

i wish i got into their honors tbh

gray depot
#

u guys know the david after dentist kid?

noble swift
#

i'm the only person from my school who got into umiami ea

deft spindle
#

fire

#

I just dont know if Miami would be fun or feel like high school pt 2

#

kinda feels that way

#

campus is gorgeous though

noble swift
#

miami is gorgeous but if i went it would be for the undergrad research opportunity

deft spindle
#

yeah

noble swift
#

not bc it's a party school

deft spindle
#

it would be both for me

#

a night out in like gainesville though is $20 in Miami its $300 šŸ˜­

gray depot
#

miami embraces its hurricanes

#

it just gave up fighting them

#

so it joined em

deft spindle
#

goofy assss mascot

tiny plinth
#

Can we complete the application yet

severe fiber
woeful summit
#

finally got the email šŸ˜­šŸ˜­

tiny plinth
#

I think it reset my application?????

#

Im so confused

#

It says I didnā€™t pay the deposit

#

I DID

gray ice
#

This should be the correct link! Let me know if you have any trouble

gray depot
#

i think housing apps opened

#

but u gotta commit first

trim jackal
gray depot
#

i feel very special šŸ„²

gray ice
#

Iā€™m very proud of you ā¤ļø

dense plover
gray depot
trim jackal
#

Wait why is yā€™allā€™s email like that?

#

Thatā€™s kinda green!

#

Mine had my actual name

dense plover
#

šŸ˜­

#

@gray depot does ur acc name start with s?

gray depot
#

it starts with k

tiny plinth
#

You donā€™t have to commit first I donā€™t think

#

If you donā€™t you just wonā€™t get the rent payment back

gray ice
#

Thereā€™s an option to apply as a prospective student & as a current student I believe

glacial pine
fleet vale
#

Whatā€™s this about

IMG_1350.jpg
gray ice
fleet vale
#

I didnā€™t even read it I just accepted

#

Idk what it was about

#

Hit me with that long ass terms and conditions

gray ice
#

thatā€™s #odd

#

If itā€™s the type of thing you couldnā€™t say no to then itā€™s most likely just standard procedure

gray depot
#

maybe fin aid out pog

#

i check

#

nvm still shows nothing :<

#

but this was the agreement

#

i think it just means theyā€™re required to tell you the fin aid can only be used for educational purposes

#

and some misc things

rich star
#

thanks for ss it i read it and accepted it but got nervous after and couldnt find the letter again LOL

livid pewter
#

i submitted my housing application today, is that late?

gray ice
compact rock
#

Do you guys think financial aid packages should come out within the next few days?

fleet vale
#

Hopefully

#

Still trying to find out if I should visit or not

compact rock
#

I visited and tbh the campus was actually a lot nicer than I thought it would be

#

so it depends on your circumstances, but I would recommend visiting

livid pewter
gray ice
#

Itā€™s at a first come first serve basis, however the deadline isnā€™t until May 1st

#

It definitely benefits applicants to apply asap but it doesnā€™t seem like you waited tooooo long

deft spindle
#

Is it first come first serve for the real deposit or the $25 one

gray ice
#

It seems like itā€™s based on your housing agreement ($225 one) from what Iā€™m reading

#

because after you submit your housing agreement then youā€™ll be able to select your preferences

tiny plinth
#

Iā€™ve heard itā€™s based on your deposit

gray ice
#

I wouldnā€™t 100% take me word for that bc my brain is fried and Iā€™m trying to read through their page rn

tiny plinth
#

Bc otherwise why would they have made you submit that so early

#

And they only just released the actual agreement

gray ice
#

Idk

#

What youā€™re saying makes sense but the wording of what I circled is making me šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

tiny plinth
#

Yeah, theyā€™re not saying itā€™s first come first serve I donā€™t think

#

Your deposit date determines your priority

gray ice
#

ohh okay gotcha

gray depot
#

my friend did the 225 deposit already

#

you choose your top 8

compact rock
#

How do you find out if you got merit aid or not? In the financial aid package?

reef crystal
#

UF is probably the best fin aid I got I think

fleet vale
#

Normal financial aid isnā€™t out yet right

fleet vale
#

#

I just want to know when I get my financial aid

#

Is this only summer admits rn

deft spindle
#

I mean I didnt apply for financial ai d

#

so this isnt like a fafsa thing

#

fleet vale

After clicking fin aid?

#

Hmm interesting

fleet vale
#

Yes

empty patrol
deft spindle
#

Bright futures + grant I think

fleet vale
#

Is this scholarship or loans

IMG_1373.png
#

Or cost

#

It looks like just a giant loan Iā€™ll have to pay back which isnā€™t very epic

outer forge
atomic light
fleet vale
#

Thatā€™s great

#

Well

#

Community college it is

#

I didnā€™t need to fill out any forms for scholarships right?

#

Also why does it say Iā€™m signed up for summer 24 term, i never enrolled for that

proud escarp
#

yeah same with me

#

i guess just in case you want to do summer classes

atomic light
compact rock
#

has anyone not gotten their financial aid package yet?

fleet vale
#

Yeah weā€™re planning on calling when I get back from Orlando

tiny plinth
#

I got my aid back

#

~nothing~

#

but im in state so its not surprising

fleet vale
#

Literally all I need is 10k and Iā€™d enroll

compact rock
tiny plinth
#

I did the calculations myself tho and itā€™d be only 11k/year, not per semester, so idk where theyā€™re getting the numbers

#

like i added rent and meal plans

#

i donā€™t pay tuition

#

ohhhh okay they do include some wack ass numbers

compact rock
gray ice
tiny plinth
#

Okay I have an answer for the summer thing

#

Youā€™re required to take 9 credits of summer courses at UG

#

*UF

#

So thatā€™s the estimated cost when you take those courses

gray ice
#

UG will not be mentioned in this thread šŸ¤®

fleet vale
#

Thatā€™s bullshit

compact rock
#

fr

tiny plinth
#

i do not know

compact rock
#

stupid policy

tiny plinth
#

itā€™s dumb

#

but it exists

compact rock
#

I think it applies to all florida unis

tiny plinth
#

you can take them online and avoid housing costs

#

just take 3 easy courses

compact rock
#

fr that is what I would probably do

deft spindle
#

freshman summer year is the move

tiny plinth
#

tru

deft spindle
#

get to know the campus and adjust to the life

#

before the crazy of fall

tiny plinth
#

the one and only time I will be jealous of summer b ppl /j

fleet vale
#

Wait you only have to do 9 summer credits total between 4 years?

#

Or every year you need 9 summer

tiny plinth
#

Only 9 between four years

gray ice
#

Total between 4

#

yeah

fleet vale
#

Oh nvm

#

Thatā€™s not too bad

#

1 class per year

gray ice
#

9 credits every summer would be insane šŸ’€

fleet vale
#

Thatā€™s what i was thinking

#

And an extra $16k a year

tiny plinth
#

Just get it all over with

#

Like at once

that coa go crayz kek

sterile lily
#

Anyone else get the distinguished scholar waiver

gray depot
#

#

net cost 16k a year meltingsob

rich star
#

fleet vale
#

dense plover

reef crystal
#

My family refuses to do loans so rven though im on pell grant I have to pay 7k a yearā€¦

IMG_0227.png
#

i thought it was opposite way around

gray ice
#

but still crazy

gray depot
#

yea everybody do be tryna move to florida these days

gray depot
#

we might be saved if loan forgiveness comes back in 2023

#

might be the only good thing sleepy joe has done

#

but i dont know how it works, i think its minimum of 10 years to qualify

dense plover
gray depot

lol

tiny plinth
#

FAU is baddddd

#

UF luckily has a bit better of a housing situation

outer forge
#

The rent is so much cheaper here

tiny plinth
#

Youā€™re a UF student??

thatā€™s so cool

trim jackal

idk everyone I know who goes to uf says that finding off campus housing is a nightmare

gray ice
# gray depot fr?

yeah, Iā€™ve heard that most people will like befriend seniors who live off campus & pick up the seniorā€™s lease once they graduate

#

I mean Iā€™m sure not everyone does that ofc but Iā€™ve heard thatā€™s a good strategy šŸ’€

gray depot
#

i see

#

i dont got them connections so gonna have to find the good ol way

One of my friends called and apparently their acceptance rate was like 18% this year and they literally gave out like not many scholarships

uf in state is a really good deal

considering uf is usually a cheaper school for in staters too

depends on what ur financial situation is

gt is significantly better for engineering

did anyone else get the gator engineering @ santa fe program?

I have no clue why they gave me that instead of accepting

1410 SAT, 3.87 unweighted GPA, 10 dual enrollments and 3 APs

#

it was weird because every other school I applied to accepted me and gave an extra scholarship like FSU UCF USF FIU and all that

itā€™s probably because engineering is very competitive at uf

continuing a thread from Georgia tech, Iā€™m assuming ufā€™s lower job is simply just the city itā€™s located in
