· Luxury Residence Halls · for University of Florida Students

If you have not yet been accepted, you should request the Freshman Contingency Addendum. When signed with your housing contract, this allows you to cancel your housing contract (should you not be accepted to the University of Florida) by sending proof of non-acceptance to the Luxury Residence Hall Office by February 28, 2022. Since students applying for Fall 2025 admission will be notified regarding acceptance in February 2022, this addendum gives you five days to let us know if you are not accepted.

Due to the high demand for the luxury halls, we do not recommend waiting to apply for University of Florida off campus housing until after you receive your acceptance. The most popular room sizes are often booked before that time. If you have signed a Freshman Contingency and provide proof of non-acceptance, any pre-paid deposits will be fully refunded. For complete details on the Freshman Contingency, please request one from a Housing Specialist by calling 352-376-6223.

Move-in dates for the luxury residence halls vary based on the dorm building you choose and the semester that you move in (see below). All residence halls have move in dates before classes begin, giving students time to make friends and get to know the campus.

• Luxury Dorms Near UF: August 13, 2022
• University of Florida classes begin August 22, 2022

Many factors affect which housing option you should choose. Your decision should be made based on the building's proximity to your classes/dining halls/libraries, age of the building, bathroom options, roommate matching options, room size, price and whether or not you are guaranteed placement into the room when you sign up. Unlike the traditional on-campus residence halls, the luxury residence halls guarantee placement when you sign up. They are also closer than many traditional dorms to your classes, dining halls and libraries. They are the closest options to Sorority Row, and they offer the largest, newest rooms at the most affordable cost per month.

Like traditional rooms, rooms in the luxury residence halls fill up very quickly. We recommend reserving a room at our Luxury Dorm as soon as you apply to the University of Florida. Most students sign up via our online reservation system , but you can also tour the halls in person and sign up after your tour. Tour hours are available Monday-Friday from 10am until 4:30pm. You can schedule a tour online or call the office for complete details at 352-376-6223.

The University of Florida campus is very, very large—but the far majority of classes are located in the North East quadrant of campus, and most freshman take classes within a handful of buildings including Turlington, Carleton, Little, and Norman Hall. Luxury Dorms Near UF are the closest dorms to Norman Hall. In fact, Luxury Dorms are located closer than many of the traditional University of Florida residence halls. While living in the luxury dorms, you're just steps from your classes, libraries, sorority row, intramurals, professor's offices, and the main student hangouts around campus. It's the perfect location.

No problem. Luxury Dorms Near UF offers professional roommate matching based on each student's unique personality profile, including study and sleeping habits, personality, age, social activities, cleanliness and more. This is critically important for ensuring roommates get along well. Roommate matching is not available with University of Florida dorms (which only match based on gender). Many students also use the corresponding UF Class of... Facebook Groups to pick their own roommate.

That may be possible, depending on the time of year and whether or not University of Florida is currently accepting cancellations of University of Florida housing contracts. Please call one of our housing specialists at 352-376-6223 for more info about making changes to your housing. You can begin the process by completing the Luxury Residence Hall reservation form. In your comments, be sure to add that you have a current University of Florida Housing Contract.

If the University of Florida is not your first choice and/or you do not intend to move to Gainesville and live in the luxury dorms, you should not requst a room reservation for Fall 2025. Due to the limited number of remaining rooms for Fall 2025, Luxury Dorms Near UF are no longer accepting Undecided College Addendums. If you return housing paperwork for a Fall 2025 space, you will be responsible for the housing payments in the contract, even if you do not attend the University of Florida.

All scholarships are sent directly to the University of Florida and are applied to tuition before any excess amounts are disbursed to the students for housing, books, etc. After the drop/add period, when you receive scholarships/grants/etc in excess of tuition fees for that semester, students are typically allowed to withdraw that money for housing, living expenses, books, etc. Keep in mind, however, that the reservation fee is due when you sign up, and that August and September installments will be due before financial aid is dispersed in the Fall semester, and the January and February installments will be due before it is dispersed in the Spring semester. Many students and parents pay for those months out of pocket (and/or reimburse themselves with any excess financial aide after it is dispersed). University of Florida Student Financial Affairs will be able to give you more info; you can contact them at 352-392-1275. You can also speak with a Housing Specialist about payment options at 352-376-6223.
