While this web site describes many aspects of the Biochemistry Division, but the best way to get to know the Division is to visit in person. Procedures for applying for graduate studies can be found on-line as well as instructions on traveling to Gainesville for a visit. Gainesville is a city of approximately 100,000 people located in north central Florida approximately 60 miles southwest from Jacksonville and 100 miles north of Orlando. An airport with regional jet service by Delta is located approximately 15 minutes from campus. The University is within an hour's drive from both the Atlantic and Gulf costs, which provide numerous opportunities for recreation.
Apartments are plentiful and relatively inexpensive in Gainesville as compared to other cities.
It is generally possible to find an apartment within walking distance to campus and many roads feature bike paths to facilitate commuting. An excellent bus service is also available. It is hoped that the information in this site is useful. All rights reserved.
