@AtlJaybird I think @Gator88NE is right. There should be plenty of freshman housing but it is definitely stressful. We were nervous about our daughter getting housing last year as a freshman but it turned out that they had plenty of capacity.
As was pointed out, if your daughter identifies a roommate with a higher priority date, then the roomie can select your daughter at her earlier date.
The recommended strategy for UF is to put down the housing deposit (which is like $30 or something) at the time of application.
