Studio apartments UF students rent typically run $900 to $1,400 per month, a premium over splitting a shared unit but without roommate negotiations. Because Gainesville's heat and humidity run high most of the year, check the age and efficiency of the A/C system in any studio apartments UF options you tour, since older units can mean summer electric bills well above $100. Ask about noise insulation too, since studios often sit in buildings with thinner walls.
