I love the apartments on 20th and 62nd, like Canopy and Woodlands and The Estates (and a lot more that aren’t as nice), but they are definitely not within walking distance to the campus. You have to rely on a bus system. But they are probably the nicest apartments that are furnished, and I really like them. And plenty of people live there (it’s a popular area), so you will make friends quickly. Plus, almost anywhere you live, you’ll want to take the bus to campus sometimes if it’s raining or whatever and the bus system is pretty good around here - almost all of the UF students depend on it because there is virtually no parking on the UF campus. (Disclaimer - I am not a UF student yet, but I am a Santa Fe College student! So I know a lot about the area and where people live and whatnot) However, it really is a personal matter. Some people hate the location of the apartments on 20th. You really just need to come and see for yourself…

As for transferring in Spring… it can be easier, because less people apply. However… I know they also can take less people, too. For example, the major I am applying to as a transfer for Fall 2011 could only take something like 5-10 people for Spring. So it kind of ends up being the same as applying in Fall… but that’s also probably depending on your major and college, too…
