Most of the UF population is centered in the Midtown, Downtown or Sorority Row neighborhoods, also known as the Student Ghetto, since they are all so close to campus. An important factor for UF students is to be on a bus route and most of these communities near campus offer many bus stops nearby as well as the option to walk, bike, or ride a scooter to campus. Additionally, many students prefer the plethora of business on the Archer Road area in Southwest Gainesville. It makes going to Publix, Walmart, or out to socialize with friends a breeze since it's only minutes away from your apartment. Additionally, there are also a lot of bus stops along Archer Road so getting to campus shouldn't be an issue.
