Students now have cellular phones, computer lines and pagers.
Anyone using one of these at UF certainly has influenced the area code decision. Bill Kolb, UF director of admissions, said because of population growth, the UF student body is under extreme pressure. Florida high schools graduated 102,000 students last year.
