I Heart Gainesville #4

TOP TEN REASONS WHY I LOVE GAINESVILLE:

4) COMMUNITY AND CULTURE - whether you're affiliated with the campus or not, Gainesville has a strong sense of community and culture. On campus at UF, there are tons of clubs for students, faculty, and tons of activities for employees and non-employees. There's also a fun, indy music scene with lots of available venues open lots of different nights throughout the week. At lets not forget, there's also an active local government that keeps its constituents - and the abundant natural resources - in mind when making decisions. Around town, there's plenty of cultural activities to take part in...a few on my favorites are:


  • The art in public buildings and sculptures around the UF campus - all free


  • Harn Museum of Art


  • Florida Museum of Natural History (and it's not just a favorite because I had an exhibit there!)


  • City of Gainesville Division of Cultural Affairs Festivals and Events


  • University of Florida's Art Museums


  • The antiques and history of Micanopy
