Gainesville is one of the best places to live in Central Florida! Aside from its big city activities and small town vibe, it’s also home to both UF and Santa Fe College. Though living on-campus is an amazing experience, living off-campus can broaden your viewpoint and allow you to further explore the city you live in!
