Social 28
Transportation
With Social 28 being just 28 steps away from the University of Florida campus, most residents of this apartment complex find it a convenient 5-10 minute walk to their classes. Biking is similarly enjoyable, with most campus destinations being accessible in ten minutes or less. The Reitz Student Union can be reached with ease in less than ten minutes by foot or bike.
Because the apartment complex is so close to the campus, there is no direct bus service provided by the Gainesville Regional Transit System. Students may, however, access multiple routes at the Reitz Student Union that will provide transportation to multiple areas of the city. Buses run several times each hour throughout the week and also offer limited schedules on the weekends.
Taking a car to campus from this apartment complex is certainly possible, but the benefit of doing so is very slight. It can actually take longer to drive and find parking than it can to simply walk from the apartments to the school campus.
