Hey, I’m a third year student at UF, and I’ve heard about how this works a little bit. Even if you sign the contract, you’re not guaranteed housing. I don’t know what happens if you don’t go to UF, but I would look into other options like Windsor Hall, which isn’t a UF dorm but it offers roommate matching and guaranteed housing, plus a bunch of other amenities that UF dorms don’t have. I’ve lived in Hume and Murphree and I think that Hume was pretty in comparison to other dorms, but it’s a hike to classes. It took me 20+ minutes to walk to class. Murphree was older and I liked that at first, but I would hear people from midtown drunkenly yelling all through the night. And I was put with two random roommates who weren’t very friendly. If I could go back I would have stayed at Windsor, because I’ve known a lot of people who have and beat the hassles of having to share a communal bathroom or dealing with creepy roommates. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, I’d be happy to help.
