Campus attractions at the university of florida.

By Florence Beth Snyder

The University of Florida (UF) in Gainesville is a preeminent research institution, but visitors can be forgiven for thinking they’ve stumbled onto a soundstage for one of those 1930s college musicals.

With its Gothic Revival architecture and 20 buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, UF’s 2,000 acres are a movie location scout’s ideal of what a university should look like. More than 50,000 students from more than 130 countries and all 50 states complete the picture of a campus straight out of central casting. Any day is a good day for a self-guided walking tour of the university’s Historic District . A good place to start is the 157-foot-tall Century Tower, a moving tribute to UF alumni and students who perished in the World Wars of the 20th century. One of only four carillon towers in Florida, Century Tower's 61 bells can sing a five-octave range. The carillon sits at the top of 194 steps and weighs an astounding 57,760 pounds. You can enjoy the Tower’s rendition of “Florida Chimes” on the quarter-hour from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and listen anytime on YouTube . The Plaza of the Americas is the focal point of the Roaring 20s-era landscape design by Frederick Law Olmsted’s sons, John Charles and Frederick Law Jr. It’s a great place to picnic and people-watch.

Just west of the Historic District is Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the 88,548-seat venue where UF’s football team plays its home games.

- Brad McClenny for VISIT FLORIDA

Just west of the Historic District is Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, the 88,548-seat venue where UF’s football team plays its home games. UF’s national reputation as a football school dates back almost a century, and the stadium is practically a shrine for those who wear the orange-and-blue of the “Gator Nation” and T-shirts bearing pictures of Albert, the school’s alligator mascot. When the stadium is not occupied with practices and home games, visitors are welcome to jog around the concourse, run the steps, or just hang out in the stands and enjoy the Florida sunshine.  On your way in, check out the life-size bronze statues of Heisman Trophy winners Steve Spurrier, Danny Wuerffel and Tim Tebow, as well as the Heavener Football Complex , which houses a museum highlighting Gator football history. Ben Hill Griffin Stadium is nicknamed The Swamp, and not just because of UF’s alligator theme. The stadium’s bowled-in architecture is notable for steep stands that put spectators close to the field, and acoustics that amplify crowd noise to eardrum-shattering levels. None of this bothers rabid Florida alumni, whose seats on the west side are shaded by the press box. The visiting team’s supporters have no place to hide from a broiling game day sun. It all adds up to a notorious home-field advantage for UF fans; they have the statistics to back up their brag that "ONLY Gators get out alive." Tourists in search of more cerebral pursuits can always find interesting ways to pass the time at the UF Cultural Plaza, home of the Curtis M. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts , the Florida Museum of Natural History and the Harn Museum of Art . The Florida Museum has been, since 1891, the official curator and champion of the Sunshine State’s rich and diverse natural history. In recent years, it has evolved in to an internationally recognized institution committed to “Inspiring people to care about life on Earth.”

A pair of butterflies search for nectar in the Butterfly Rainforest at the Florida Museum of Natural History on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville.

Highlights include the Butterfly Rainforest , a live-action exhibit filled with free-flying butterflies and birds from around the world, along with up-close-and-personal looks at turtles and fish amidst an appealing tropical landscape. If you dare to explore the darker side of nature, visit the Museum’s Bat Colony , home to 300,000 residents of the Bat House and Bat Barn. Every night is Halloween in that 15- to 20-minute window just after sunset and before total darkness, when temperatures are above 65 degrees, as they almost always are.  An observation area is provided, but bring your own plastic protective gear because you never know what might fall from the sky. The bats and butterflies are best appreciated in person, and once you meet them, you’ll want to see them again soon. Thanks to UF’s “ Critter Cams ,” you can, 24/7. The Harn Museum of Art collection includes thousands of pieces of African, Asian, modern and contemporary art, as well as photography with significant representations of Ancient American and oceanic art. The 40,000-plus square feet of exhibition space is surrounded by five peaceful garden spaces, and the Harn’s Camellia Court Cafe is a relaxing lunch spot for Museum-goers, or those stopping by the Phillips Center to buy tickets for an upcoming show. When the Gators wish to commune with real ‘gators, they head to Lake Alice, a small and beautiful body of water where alligators allow people to watch and be astounded ... from a distance. The Baughman Center at Lake Alice is a 96-seat miniature medieval cathedral built from Florida cypress, yellow pine and copper, featuring three shades of travertine marble flooring. Weddings, funerals and small musical performances bring guests to the pavilion, but most of the traffic comes from individuals who stop by to think and meditate in a serene and splendid setting.

University of Florida (UF) Transfers: 2024 Requirements, Dates, GPAs & More

How effective are university of florida (uf) virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. University of Florida (UF) is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of University of Florida (UF) virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the University of Florida (UF) vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the University of Florida (UF) campus by taking you around Gainesville. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a University of Florida (UF) virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit University of Florida (UF) in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of University of Florida (UF) is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the University of Florida (UF) people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting University of Florida (UF) and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting University of Florida (UF) in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at University of Florida (UF)?

For your convenience, below is a list of University of Florida (UF) places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

• Ustler Hall at University of Florida (UF)
• The Century Tower at University of Florida (UF)
• Kung Fu Tea at University of Florida (UF)

What are the downsides of a University of Florida (UF) virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring University of Florida (UF) on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting University of Florida (UF) in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the University of Florida (UF) virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a University of Florida (UF) virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a University of Florida (UF) virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting University of Florida (UF) in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour University of Florida (UF) . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience University of Florida (UF) and Gainesville during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

Taylor Swift course coming to USF this fall

Video above: Taylor Swift’s ‘Era’s Tour’ stops in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — Taylor Swift is coming to the University of South Florida, sort of…”Are You Ready For It?”

The past two years have been unstoppable for the international pop star, following the release of her “Midnights” album in 2022, which took home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year.

Announcing her global “Eras Tour” launched the stars fandom to new heights, along with the budding relationship with Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, Swift is all anyone can talk about.

In addition to her recent successes, Swift officially landed on Forbes’ billionaires list earlier this month, a rare feat for the singer, as she’s the “first musician to reach the milestone solely from songwriting and performing,” according to Forbes .

However, if you’re a fan of Swift or a “Swiftie,” you know that her list of accomplishments doesn’t stop there, and universities are starting to take note of the impact the “Cruel Summer” singer is bringing to the world and soon-to-be classroom.

As Swift continues to dominate the airwaves, colleges have begun to offer courses dissecting the singer’s business strategies, her cultural and economic impact, as well as her intricate songwriting.

Most recently, USF announced Monday they’ll join the growing list of Florida colleges offering a Swift course.

According to The Oracle, USF’s student newspaper, English professors Jessica Cook, Emily Jones, and Michelle Taylor will collaborate to teach three Swift-themed sections of LIT3301 this fall.

Students will gather twice a week throughout the course for discussions covering Swift’s impact on music and fan culture. Lectures will also be focused on comparing her to “literary influences,” including Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson, and Lord Byron.

The university’s course inventory describes the class as “A study of American and international cultures as they are represented in the film, fiction, and other cultural artifacts of various ethnic groups and nationalities” and “focuses on values/ethics, race, ethnicity, and gender; thinking and writing skills.”

Students from any major are welcome to take the course as long as they have completed English Composition 1 and 2, The Oracle reported.

USF’s newest Swift class comes a year after the singer left Tampa “speechless” during her three sold-out shows at Raymond James Stadium and just a few days before the release of her newest and highly-anticipated album, “THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT.”

The album, which drops on Friday, features a song titled “Florida!!!” featuring Florida + The Machine .

The University of Florida and the University of Miami in Coral Gables are among the other Sunshine State universities to use Swift’s music and impact for education purposes.

According to the Miami Herald , UM offered a strategic communication class called “Mastermind Taylor Swift Brand,” along with a seven-week intensive called “Intellectual Property Law Through the Lens of Taylor Swift” through its law school.

UF’s student-run newspaper, the Independent Florida Alligator , reported that the university offered a one-credit honors class, “Musical Storytelling with Taylor Swift and Other Iconic Female Artists,” this spring, which filled up within 10 seconds.

For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to WFLA.

A Taylor Swift course is coming to USF Tampa

Miss Americana? More like Miss Academia.

Taylor Swift has inspired yet another college course in Florida. This time, it’s an English elective at the University of South Florida’s Tampa campus.

According to The Oracle, USF Tampa’s student newspaper, English teachers Jessica Cook, Emily Jones and Michelle Taylor will team up to offer three Swift-themed fall sections of LIT 3301: Cultural Studies and the Popular Arts.

Past versions of the elective have been focused on topics like Harry Potter, The Oracle wrote on Monday. This time, students will gather twice a week for discussions on Swift’s impact and lectures comparing her music to Shakespeare, Emily Dickinson and Lord Byron.

The university’s course inventory describes the class as, “A study of American and international cultures as they are represented in the film, fiction, and other cultural artifacts of various ethnic groups and nationalities” and thats that the class “focuses on values/ethics, race, ethnicity and gender; thinking and writing skills.” The Oracle reported that students from any major can enroll as long as they have completed English Composition 1 and 2.

The news comes a year after Swift enchanted Tampa during three sold-out Eras Tour concerts at Raymond James Stadium , and just days before the release Swift’s newest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” on Friday. Track 8 will be a song titled “Florida!!!” featuring Florence + The Machine.

USF isn’t the first Florida university to use Swift and her music for educational purposes, according to the Miami Herald. The University of Miami in Coral Gables offered a strategic communication class called Mastermind Taylor Swift Brand, as well as a seven-week intensive called Intellectual Property Law Through the Lens of Taylor Swift through its school of law. This spring at the University of Florida, all fifteen spots of the one-credit class Musical Storytelling with Taylor Swift and Other Iconic Female Artists filled up within 10 seconds, the Independent Florida Alligator reported.

Should seats in the class disappear as fast as Swift concert seats on Ticketmaster, students have another option. USF also has a club called the Taylor Swift Society.

For the first time this spring, Matthew Riedel (Vanderbilt) took over the No. 3 position in the ranking to move past North Florida’s Nicholas Gabrelcik . Gabrelcik moved down to No. 4 after a 15th-place finish at the Lewis Chitengwa Memorial. He has not finished outside the top-20 in a collegiate event since the Windon Memorial in 2022. The rest of the top five remains unchanged, with Michael Thorbjornsen (Stanford) at No. 1, Christo Lamprecht (Georgia Tech) at No. 2 and Austin Greaser (North Carolina) at No. 5.

Jack Lundin (Missouri) improved his ranking for the fourth straight week with an individual title at the Mizzou Tiger Intercollegiate. Lundin carded three straight rounds under-par en route to his second straight win and fifth of his career. He has finished inside the top five in all five tournament appearances of the spring. Lundin began the collegiate season at No. 66 in the ranking and is now inside the top 25 at No. 20.

Making their first Masters appearances last weekend were Neal Shipley (Ohio State) , Christo Lamprecht (Georgia Tech) and Santiago De la Fuente (Houston). Shipley earned low amateur honors and was the only amateur to make the cut after carding an impressive 1-under 71 in the first round. Lamprecht remains at No. 2 in the ranking, De la Fuente at No. 27 and Shipley improved to No. 50.
