2021 Spring Housing Fair
The SG Housing Fair helps students gain a better understanding of what off-campus housing communities have to offer. The Student Government Housing Affairs Cabinet hosts this event twice a year, once during the fall semester, and the other during the spring semester. The Housing Fair is the largest housing event at the University of Florida.
Over three hours, communities from all over Gainesville will be in attendance to answer questions and explain the benefits of choosing their communities. This is the easiest way to get familiar with your off-campus living options, and available resources for off-campus students!
At least one table must be purchased for all participants, including sponsors and non-sponsors. More than one table may be purchased at the price indicated. For non-sponsors: Table location is at the discretion of the SG Housing Affairs Cabinet. Paperwork must be submitted by Wednesday, March 10, 2021.
At least one table must be purchased to sponsor the Fall 2018 Housing Fair. Sponsorship price does NOT include a table; at least one table must be purchased in addition to sponsorship. Sponsorships can be applied to either a parent company or one apartment complex. Sponsorship paperwork and payment must be submitted by March 4, 2021. We will not accept any sponsors after this date. For multiple sponsors in one level, priority will be given by submission time and date for table selection and guaranteeing a spot.
