DORMS for University of Florida
Innovation Academy Students



The University of Florida Innovation Academy program permits students to attend traditional on-campus classes during the spring and summer semesters. The program allows students to spend their Fall semester attending Univerity of Florida online classes and pursuing internships. Many Innovation Academy students will still choose to move to Gainesville at the beginning of the fall semester so that they don't miss out on the "traditional college experience" that they've dreamed of. Such students want to have the "true freshman college experience" and want to move away to college at the same time as their friends who are also graduating from high school. They want to experience their fall semester along with the traditional University of Florida students: moving out of their parents' homes, rushing sororities and fraternities, attending football games, joining student organizations, and taking their first college classes. Many incoming Innovation Academy freshmen worry that choosing the IA program will cause them to be isolated from the "general" University of Florida population that starts in the fall and that they will "miss out" if they wait until Spring to move away from home. These IA students who want to start their college experience in the fall should consider Luxury Dorms Near UF, a few of the only private luxury dorms for University of Florida students.
