Navigating Housing Options at the University of Florida
By Lucie Rowell, University of Florida, USA When choosing housing abroad it can seem like an increasingly daunting task the more you look into it. As someone who was a commuter student in Manchester – this was even more daunting as I had never lived anywhere other than my home! This blog will outline how I decided on where I currently live, what my key considerations were and the challenges I faced. This is a very big decision but hopefully this bit of information can answer a few questions you may have as an exchange student.

My First American Football Game! UF v UM
By Lucie Rowell, University of Florida, United States Now, I would not consider myself an American football fan, but this weekend may have changed my mind! I got tickets to the most sought-after game, the University of Florida versus the University of Miami (which was also the first game of the season). The crowds were huge, similar to the size of Wembley Stadium—insane to say it is college football! I got chatting to people that had come from all over Florida to come and watch this game, which made me feel that much more lucky that I was there to witness it.
