Unfortunately, since we are not directly associated with the University of Florida or Santa Fe Community College, we do not directly accept financial aid. However, you may use your financial aid to pay your rent as long as it is in the form of our acceptable payment methods.

Four buses pick up at Campus Lodge. The number 35 picks up at the front of the complex at our bus stop on Williston Road.

Make sure you have your Gator 1 card to show the driver when you get on the bus. There is no cost for the RTS bus service taking you to campus as long as you have your Gator 1 card.

We encourage residents to personalize and decorate their suites. You are allowed to hang pictures on the walls, re-arrange furniture, hang window treatments, and anything else you can think of. However, you can not move the furniture Campus Lodge provides out of the apartment (this includes onto the patio).

Apartments come fully furnished, so you will only need to bring your personal items. We recommend that residents speak with their roommates prior to moving in to discuss what items everyone is bringing (e.g., you do not want to have four toasters in the kitchen). For the kitchen, you will need to bring dishes, silverware, pots and pans, and cleaning supplies. For your bedroom, you will need to bring linens, towels, electronics, and personal items. Each bedroom has its own internet port, so you will need to bring an Ethernet cord for your computer.

All residents are asked to fill out a roommate matching form when they apply for residency. Some of the categories by which we match people include year in school, smoking vs. non-smoking, housekeeping habits, study habits and interests. We ask all residents to fill out this form as honestly as possible so that we can match you to the best of our abilities.

Your monthly rent includes just about everything you could want or need. Apartments come fully furnished with all hardwood furniture, all major appliances, and all utilities except for local phone service. On-site, residents have access to our Huge Resort-Style Pool, 24-hour Cardio and Weight Rooms, Basketball Courts, BBQ Picnic Area and 2 New South Beach Tanning Domes, just to mention a few. There is a monthly utility allotment of $40 per person.
