July 24, 200520 yr http://capefish.blogspot.com/2005/07/day-1-gainesville.html What a boring college town. It feels less exciting than Century Village! Sorry, I know it is the summer and no football is around....but the place is dead. Really could be cleaned up a bit. At least the streets are paved, the buildings not bad looking, the hills rolling, and the oaks lining the streets. Now I know why my brother has 5 kids. :plain
July 24, 200520 yr Gainesville is pretty boring, which is why it sucks I'm probably going there for college. :plain
July 24, 200520 yr Author Cape, you're in a college tour or something? 872346[/snapback] Yup, I will blog it all the way too.
July 24, 200520 yr Cape, you're in a college tour or something? 872346[/snapback] Yup, I will blog it all the way too. 872370[/snapback] What schools are you seeing besides UF?
July 24, 200520 yr Author You can't judge a college town in July. 872421[/snapback] Gainesville isn't exactly new to my family. My older brother came here for College. He graduated, but he doesn't ever speak about it. :mischief Anyways, we just stopped here since it was about half-way to Atlanta.
July 24, 200520 yr Author What schools are you seeing besides UF? 872372[/snapback] Atlanta (2 Nights) for Georgia Tech Tallahassee (1 Night) for Florida State
July 24, 200520 yr Why not come see us at UCF? Our Golden Knights have the honorable distinction of being the worst team in college football... and we are proud of it! And hey... near Disney... life can't get better. In all seriousness, don't come here. Its boring, but its still not a bad school, lotta parties... but other then that... not so much to do.
July 24, 200520 yr What schools are you seeing besides UF? 872372[/snapback] Atlanta (2 Nights) for Georgia Tech Tallahassee (1 Night) for Florida State 872481[/snapback] Where are you staying at?

Plus they don't have any of the majors I am interested in. It is a nice school though.

July 24, 200520 yr What schools are you seeing besides UF? 872372[/snapback] Atlanta (2 Nights) for Georgia Tech Tallahassee (1 Night) for Florida State 872481[/snapback] Wow, I'm pretty sure GT will NOT be a great college experience. Atlanta will be a great experience, but Georgia Tech is full of future engineers. What does that mean? That means 60% dudes. That sucks. That sucks a lot. Have fun hanging out with 20 year olds who drink coffee all day and study all night.
July 24, 200520 yr Might I add....academics aren't on par with UF, but Oxford, MS is an insane college town. Feel free to drop by the Grove this fall. You won't want to leave. Wayyyy too many Southern Belle sorrority girls in their sundresses for you be able to leave.
July 24, 200520 yr Go to Knoxville and you will find a crazy college experience. 872835[/snapback] No. Does not come close to UF. Beautiful area, yes...nicer than Gainesville in the scenery category. The "college" atmosphere, though, does not match.
July 25, 200520 yr Wow, Florida has a pretty nice campus from what I can see. Any more pics? 873381[/snapback] Here are a couple for now, the rest aren't going up for some reason. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a63/gatorwade3/uf25.bmp http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a63/gatorwade3/uf06.bmp http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a63/gatorwade3/uf05.bmp
July 25, 200520 yr BTW, there is absolutely nothing going on in July, so don't let your trip in the summer distort your opinion. UF fn rocks!
July 25, 200520 yr Author UF doesn't have my majors. It was just a stop overnight as we made our way north.
July 25, 200520 yr I don't know what any of you are talking about, Gainesville during Summer B kicks ass... when I was up for Summer B my freshman year I was only sober 2 nights a week, I was out every other night.
