I came to UF not knowing anyone, and I didn’t want to live in a traditional dorm because I knew that they did random roommate assignments. I chose Ivy House in part because they have free roommate matching that matches students by personality, study habits, and stuff like that. They did a great job. I got along great with the girl they matched me with. We are still friends to this day and continued to live together at the same place when we moved out of the dorms.

When I found out I didn’t get an on-campus dorm at UF, I immediately looked into the luxury dorms. I was lucky enough to get one of the last spots available at the Ivy House. And I’m glad I did. I ended up being closer to my classes than the dorm I requested on-campus, and the rooms were definitely nicer and larger. If I had signed earlier I could’ve had an even bigger room!
