The Positives of Moving Off Campus

Benefits of Living Off Campus

If you are living on campus at the University of Florida, there are good reasons for moving off campus. Some of the benefits are financial and some are social. There are standard of living benefits, and there are more location choices. Let’s take a look at some of the positives of living off campus in Gainesville.

Your Housing Options Are Almost Unlimited When Moving Off Campus

Living off campus gives you housing options you just can’t find on campus. The Gainesville area is surrounded by large, older homes and massive apartment buildings. There are facilities that have housed students for decades, and there are brand new, modern apartment communities like The Retreat at Gainesville. This allows you the widest range of choices available.

It Is a Better Transition to the Real World

Another of the positives of moving off campus is that you will be better prepared for what life will be like after college. While shopping, cooking, cleaning or even using public transportation may not sound like your “style”, they are all part of reality. College is designed to prepare you for life, and real world experiences are a part of that preparation.

A Wider Selection of Amenities When Moving Off Campus

Moving off campus can give you access to amenities you may not have thought possible in college living. The Retreat at Gainesville, for example, has a resort-style pool which is one of the largest in Gainesville. It has an outdoor pavilion for tailgate parties and cook outs and a volleyball court. It has a community Clubhouse with a game room, fitness center, and wide-screen TVs. Each apartment has its own bathroom and the kitchens have stainless steel appliances and granite countertops. Compare those with on campus options.

More Security Choices When Moving Off Campus

Each rental home, building, and apartment community offers its own level of security. Moving off campus better allows you to choose what’s important for you. The Retreat at Gainesville is a limited access community built with privacy fences. Apartments have security systems and 24 hour monitoring is available. The Retreat also features convenient, front door parking.

Why You Should Consider The Retreat at Gainesville
