You Wanna Be a Gator? How Many Gators Are There Already?

Hold on to your orange and blue jello shots, because we're about to dive into the gator-filled data swamp!
Tip: Take notes for easier recall later.

The Big Enchilada: Total Gator Population
UF boasts a whopping over 60,000 students. That's a lot of people! To put that in perspective, that's more people than live in, well, a whole lot of places. It's like having your own little city, except with better food (hopefully) and a mascot that doesn't involve questionable plumbing choices.
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
But wait, there's more! This number includes both undergraduate and graduate students. So, whether you're fresh out of high school or a seasoned scholar, UF has a place for you (as long as you can handle the occasional rogue squirrel attack in the library).
Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.

Breaking Down the Gator Bunch: Undergrads vs. Grad Students
- Undergrad All-Stars: UF's home to over 31,000 undergrads. That's a ton of energy, a sprinkle of existential dread, and a whole lotta creativity.
- The Grad Squad: Rounding out the Gator population, you've got over 29,000 grad students. These masters of knowledge are here to push the boundaries of their fields, fueled by an unhealthy amount of caffeine and ramen noodles (don't worry, there's a great food scene too!).
So, UF is definitely not a small school. But with a strong sense of community and plenty of ways to get involved, you're sure to find your niche among the gator throngs.
Tip: Reading twice doubles clarity.
FAQ: How to Become a Gator
You've been bit by the orange and blue bug, huh? Here's a quick guide to joining the Gator Nation:
- How to Apply: Brush up on your essay skills and get ready to showcase your academic awesomeness. UF has a competitive admissions process, so make sure your application shines!
- How to Survive the Waitlist: Waiting to hear back can be agonizing. Distract yourself by cheering on the Gators at a football game (or hiding under a blanket and watching reruns of The Office - we all have our coping mechanisms).
- How to Decide on Housing: On-campus living is a great way to immerse yourself in the Gator experience, but there's also plenty of great off-campus housing options. Just be prepared for the occasional roommate who thinks glitter counts as laundry detergent.
- How to Get Involved: UF has over 800 student organizations! Whether you're a Quidditch aficionado or a budding entrepreneur, there's a group for you.
- How to Cheer Like a True Gator: "We Are the Boys (or Girls) from Old Florida!" Learn the fight song, practice your gator chomp, and get ready to lose your voice at every game.
UF is an amazing place to learn, grow, and make lifelong memories. So put on your best orange and blue, and get ready to join the Gator family!
