Like food and water, money became a necessity as students their studies here at the University of Florida. While some students chose to work on campus, other chose to look else where for a part time or full time job. On campus, one could see students serve as receptionists in dean offices, cashiers in the campus bookstore and food courts, scanners for property and public safety staff. A portion of students used the Work Study to help earn money while attend the University of Florida. Aside from jobs on campus, students were employed outside from OF campus. Some students work as receptionists for different firm ' s law offices and advertising agencies. In addition, student could be seen working at various clothing stores in Oaks Mall, fast food chain such as McDonalds and Wendy ' s or food supermarket cashiers. Other students choose to take on other employment opportunities that enhance them in the field that they were majoring in. One student who would major in journalism has the opportunity to go work on the Independent Alligator newspaper, or find employment with other like Insight Magazine or Campus Talk. While all jobs contributed to experience process, they also aided in attaining better time skills as well as enhancing the interpersonal skills. -Jose Otero

Spicing up the routine by study locations can keep the task from becoming too monotonous. The usual study spots include, but are not limited to, the outdoors, libraries, and in apartments or dorms. A very popular study site is on the lawns of campus. Many students enjoy the fresh air and relaxing scenery of the Picnic tables offer a place to spread out textbooks and notes, though some the ground. Stretching out on the grass can be a nice retreat from crampy desks and library cubicles. However, those library cubicles offer the quiet study atmosphere that many prefer. The various libraries on campus offer students a place to focus on their work without any distractions from roommates, television, or other everyday interruptions. While those straight backed chairs may not be the most relaxing seats in Gainesville, they are less likely to become makeshift beds to unwelcome napping. The library is also a convenient place to meet for group projects and study sessions. such as the Marston Science offer floors designated for just that purpose. Though school work and study sessions can seem tedious at times, location is key. Personal preference determines the place that leads to the most productivity. Some find that studying at home on the couch is an ideal place for studying while others prefer a more scholarly environment such as the library or on campus. Though most would say that changing it up is the best recipe for productive studying. -Lane Cofer Above: Matthew Urban, 4BA, Christy Cook, 2Pre-Med, cram for a test near the HUB. (Photo Jane Klimenko)
