Transportation
Located just across the street from the University of Florida campus, Campus View Place is one of the most convenient living locations for students. These apartments are just one block away from Sorority Row and two blocks from Norman Hall. Those who wish to walk to school will find that they can access many important areas and buildings in as little as ten minutes.
The Gainesville Regional Transit System provides bus service to and from the university via ten different routes. All of these routes can be accessed at the Reitz Union on campus. Buses can be used to reach points such as the Shands Hospital and University Commons. In most cases, it takes 10-15 minutes or less by bus to arrive at a number of campus destinations.
Those who prefer to drive their own vehicle can be on campus in less than five minutes. The great majority of students living in this complex, however, prefer the convenience of walking, biking, or taking the bus over using their own vehicle.
