Why #itsgreat to be a Florida Gator
Check out our UF Chapter Instagram here.
Florida Gators can’t help but bleed orange and blue. With that sense of pride entrenched in the campus life of many (just visit one of the football games to see it for yourself), the beauty of UF unfolds in bits and pieces of scenery, people, stories and laughter. Explore the campus and witness everything UF has to offer—from the free-spirited individuals and groups making their voices heard in Turlington to the incredible display of diversity and culture in the different events always taking place in the Plaza of the Americas. Even more beautiful is the automatic sense of acceptance that the campus vibes with. People come to UF for a world-class education and leave with the knowledge that no matter what, it’s always great to be a Florida Gator.
Welcome to the Swamp.
