her history reading Above: Brooklynn Martin, 4LS makes assignment more enjoyable by stretching out on the North Lawn. She says, I prefer to be outside when reading because the library is kind of like a dungeon. (Photo Lane Cofer) With the difficulties of scheduling, inevitably find themselves with time to spare in between classes. Luckily, there are several ways to use that time on campus. Whether choosing to study or spend the free period with friends and classmates, time outside of class is as important as the hours spent in the classroom. Many students make use of the university ' s libraries located throughout campus. Not only do they provide a quiet place to study and research for projects, they also offer stations to check email and listen to online lectures. Sapneil Parikh, 3BA makes use of this convenience and says, I check my email in between classes because I don ' t have time at home. That free time can also be used to have lunch with friends or just hang out around campus. Students can meet in the various food courts on campus or visit together at the many picnic tables and benches around campus. Many enjoy stretching out on the grasses of the North and South Lawns to read, listen to music, or take a nap. Other students make use of their time on campus by maning booths for such causes as the National Breast Cancer Booths are also a way to invite students to join various clubs at the These are just a few of the ways OF students choose to spend t heir time on campus. With all of the university ' s there is always something to do on campus even if it just means stretching out on the North Lawn with a good book and enjoying the beautiful Florida weather. -Lane Cofer Left:Genie Alvarez, 2LS says, I have a test next period so I ' m studying in the sun because it feels good once in a while.

Whether students choose to live on or off campus, alone or with roommates, OF students would all agree that their dorm or apartment is a place for them to kick back and enjoy college life. Several students choose to get the full college experience by living on campus for at least their first year. Dorms are a great way to meet people and get with the college atmosphere. Sneha Patel, 21E, says that since she chose to live off campus her first year, she made most of her friends through a friend living in the dorms. There are many students like Patel who choose to live in apartments for their stay at college, as apartments offer a change of pace from dorm life. Apartments are more conducive to parties as they have less restrictions and are generally more than the dorms. Another positive side to apartment life is the option of having pets. Many apartments allow to own a reasonable number of cats, dogs, and other pets. For those who can not bear to part with their pet, living in an apartment is the best choice for them. Aside from time in class or at work, most students spend a good portion of their time in their apartment or dorm. While the library may be the most likely place to get in serious study time, it can be more comfortable to study at home. At the same time it is also a place for students to hang out with friends and forget about school for a while. Living without possibly for the first time in their lives, dorms and apartments offer endless options for students to spend their time in college. -Lane Cofer Left: Sophomore Robert Drach, gets ready for class in his dorm in Beaty (Photo Jane K 1 Klimenko) Above: Lily, Kat, Desiree, and Marilyn make a snack in the kitchen of the shared by Kat, Lily, and their friend Lauren.
