What is the University of Florida campus like?
UF is a beautifully landscaped, land-grant institution on 2,000 acres. The university has 918 buildings, 160 of them equipped with classrooms and laboratories, and 23 on-campus residence halls. UF has many outstanding facilities available to the student community. We have on campus: the Florida Museum of Natural History, the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Harn Museum of Art, and the University Art Gallery. We have the world’s largest citrus research center, a world-renowned institute for the study of the brain, a public television and radio station, and one of the largest health centers in the Southeast. A portion of campus is on the National Register of Historic Places, while other sections have recently seen the addition of new building construction, physics, engineering and veterinary medicine buildings. The Smathers Library, with 2.5 million volumes, has two main libraries and nine branch libraries.
