How to Get Here:
Driving from Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV):
Gainesville Airport is approximately 6 miles from campus.
There is only one road from the passenger terminal. When you reach the airport exit, turn right onto State Route 222 (NE 39 Ave). Take this road to its intersection with NW 13 St, a distance of 3-4 miles. (You will pass through lights at the intersections with Waldo Rd, NE 15 St, N Main St and NW 6 St before reaching the light at NW 13 St.)
Turn left onto NW 13 St and follow it for about 2.5 miles until you approach the light at W University Ave. University Avenue is equivalent to NW 0 Avenue, so it is fairly easy to count down the crossing streets between NW 39th Ave and W University Ave.
The University of Florida campus begins on the southwest corner of the intersection between W University Ave and NW 13 St.
Driving from Jacksonville Airport (JAX)
Jacksonville Airport is approximately 85 miles from campus, and typically takes between 1.5 and 2 hours driving time.
There is only one road from the passenger terminal. Just past the first light (and right before the road passes under a bridge) turn right onto the ramp for I-95 (South).
Once on I-95, stay in the right lane because after only a mile you will exit onto I-295 (South), heading counter-clockwise around Jacksonville's version of the Beltway. Stay on I-295 for roughly 17 miles, until you reach I-10 (West), marked to Tallahassee.
After approximately 13 miles, leave I-10 at Exit 50 (U.S. 301 and Baldwin). Stay right at the fork in the exit ramp, joining U.S. 301 (South). Follow this road for about 37 miles, passing through the towns of Lawtey and Starke, until you reach Waldo. Here you fork right onto S.R. 24 (Gainesville) at the point where U.S. 301 continues on to Ocala. Take S.R. 24 for 10 miles to the outskirts of Gainesville.
As you approach Gainesville, you will pass through a light at NW 53 Ave, then see the airport perimeter on your left. At the next light, turn right onto NE 39 Ave (S.R. 222). Take this road to its intersection with NW 13 St, a distance of 2-3 miles. (You will pass through lights at the intersections with NE 15 St, N Main St and NW 6 St before reaching NW 13 St.)
Turn left onto NW 13 St and follow it for about 2.5 miles until you approach the light at W University Ave. University Avenue is equivalent to NW 0 Avenue, so it is fairly easy to count down the crossing streets between NW 39th Ave and W University Ave.
The University of Florida campus begins on the southwest corner of the intersection between W University Ave and NW 13 St.
Driving from Orlando International Airport (MCL)
Orlando International is approximately 120 miles from campus, and typically takes between 2 and 2.5 hours driving time.
On exiting the airport, follow signs for the Beeline Expressway (State Road 528 West). Take the Beeline about 6 miles to the Florida Turnpike (North). If you miss the Turnpike exit, you should stay on the Beeline another 4 miles, then take I-4 (North) 4 miles to the Turnpike. (Both the Beeline and the Turnpike are toll roads.) Follow the Turnpike for roughly 50 miles to its end, where it merges with I-75.
Stay on I-75 (North) for 60 miles until you reach Gainesville. Leave I-75 at Exit 387 (Newberry Rd, S.R. 26). Turn right and head east along S.R. 26, which at first is Newberry Rd, but after a couple of miles becomes University Ave. About 4 miles from I-75 you will come across the University of Florida campus on your right. What you will see first is North-South Drive (near the Stadium).
