 HOUSING

 GENERAL INFORMATION

 Each student will make personal and direct arrangements for his housing by: (1.)
applying to the Office of the Director of Housing for assignment to University Housing
Facilities, or (2) in the case of an upperclassman who wishes to do so, making his own
arrangements directly with the property-owner for off-campus accommodations in
private housing.
 Carefully selected and trained personnel are in charge of each area. Students with
personal problems or questions concerning procedure or policy are aided by Head
Residents, Resident Advisers, and Student Counselors.
 The rates quoted are subject to change. All facilities are equipped with basic
furnishings of beds, mattresses, dressers, desks, and chairs. Residents are encouraged
to bring their own drapes, pictures, bedspreads, rugs, and lamps.
 Linens may be rented on a weekly exchange basis; pillows, blankets, and some
extra equipment may be rented on a term or semester basis. Linen rates per week
are: sheets, 15c each; towels, 7c each; pillow cases, 6c each. Blankets, pillows, and
lamps are 80c per semester, 40c per six-week term, 60c per nine-week term.
 Heavy luggage may be sent ahead, prepaid, addressed in the student's name show-
ing his assigned room number. Such shipments will be held until called for by the
student. The University assumes no responsibility beyond the exercise of reasonable
care for any shipment so received.

 APPLICATIONS, ROOM DEPOSITS, AND ASSIGNMENTS

 All communications or inquiries concerning housing, applications, deposits, and
rent payments in University Housing Facilities should be sent to the Director of Housing,
University of Florida, Gainesville. An application for space in housing facilities may
be filed at any time. Prospective freshmen are urged to file application as early as
possible, since assignments will be made beginning early in the summer. Checks or
money orders should be made payable to the University of Florida and mailed to the
Office of the Business Manager, Cashier. Cash should NOT be sent through the mail.
 A deposit payment of ten dollars must accompany applications for assignment to
housing facilities.
 Each applicant will be given advance notice of exact assignment and deadline
date for payment of rent, if possible.
 Roommate requests are honored wherever possible, provided the individuals con-
cerned submit their applications and pay room deposits on the same date, clearly in-
dicate on their respective applications their desire to room together, and are within
similar academic classifications.
 All freshman single students, with the exception of those whose residence is Gaines-
ville or vicinity, are required to live in University Housing Facilities as long as space
is available. If space on-campus becomes available for the second semester of the regular
school year, freshman students living off-campus may be required to move on-campus.
Also, these housing requirements are in effect for all under-graduate single women
students. Undergraduate women students, with the exception of Freshmen, may live in
sorority houses with University approval.
