Compare UF Dorms: Broward Hall
0 Comments Published by Gator Grad on Wednesday, February 6, 2008 at 1:07 PM.
I'm surprised at how little information (photos, virtual tours, reviews, UF dorm comparison charts) are included on the official UF Department of Housing website for dorms like Broward Hall and Beaty Towers-- this would really help incoming freshmen when it's time for them to chose their UF housing preferences for Fall 2008 and Summer 2008! We'll begin this series of comparisons by showing you a traditional dorm (Broward Hall) and how it compares to 2 of the most upscale dorms for University of Florida students (The Ivy House and Windsor Hall).
As you can see in the chart below, we've compared information about things like bathroom layouts (because many people ask about communal bathrooms) and how many people share a bathroom in the dorms. I've compared the information on housing assignments work from dorm to dorm, and whether or not the UF housing agreement guarantees you a spot. For students concerned about not getting placed into a single (or worried about being placed into the dreaded 'temporary triple'), I've compared the housing policies on those items. I've also compared style (conventional dorm vs luxury dorm, on-campus vs off-campus), as well as information about pools and gyms that the students living in the dorms can use. Some parents are looking for UF dorms that are female-only (and some are looking for co-ed dorms), so we've compared that, too. I've also given some information on dorm rates, so that you can compare your bang-for-your-buck at each of the dorms.
As you can see, The Ivy House is the most affordable dorm option for UF students (and still- very luxurious, it even includes private Jetted Jacuzzi Bathtubs). Unfortunately, the University of Florida Department of Housing hasn't released their Fall 2008 UF Dorm Rates, so we are comparing the 2008 rates for Ivy and Windsor Hall with the 2007 rates for the on-campus traditional dorms. UF has informed us that students should expect an approximately 5% rate increase over last year's rates-- which would put the UF double dorm room cost at just under $500 per month--- which is more expensive than Ivy House, which is the most comparable (with shared baths) and similar in price to the current specials for Windsor Hall.
