University of Florida

I now bleed orange and blue

Once a gator always a gator! I arrived at the University of Florida three years ago not really knowing why I had decided to come here, but there's just something so completely magical about it that it makes you never want to leave! Maybe it's the fact that it is the fourth-largest university in the United States, with over 48,000 gators; it is considered one of the top public universities in the country and is also one of the Public Ivies, the only one in the Deep South. Or maybe it's the amazing athletics and the pride just overflowing from the Swamp and the O'Dome! All I know is that I now bleed orange and blue for the rest of my days. Its great to be a Florida gator! The University of Florida is in Gainesville. The Gator Nation is everywhere!
