Student Apartments in Gainesville FL – The Quest for the Best

More than 40 % of the population in Gainesville are University of Florida students . Most of the students in UF choose to live in Gainesville because of location which makes it very convenient. Looking for Student Apartments in Gainesville FL can be a hard task especially if it is your first apartment. Here are some tips that can help you get an apartment that will be good for you as a student and save you time. Most student opt to live off-campus after spending a year or so in University dorms like Hume, Fletcher, Springs and Broward. This is mainly because campus dorms are usually cramped, damp and dark and most students have to share bathrooms with up to 60 other students. One of the disadvantages of living off-campus will be that the University does not offer parking space near lecture halls to the students who live outside the campus. It is therefore advisable to consider how to get to class. Will you bike, walk, look for a spot in Park N Ride or use the bus? To ensure that you w...

Five Recent Florida Neo-Nazi Stories

Florida is the nation's repository for scumbags, a weird little drain trap that snares the frauds and lunatics who rattle through the nation's plumbing before the United States jettisons them out to sea. So it makes sense the state would be filled with its fair share of neo-Nazis. What would Florida be without its own special breed of meth-using assholes hellbent on ethnic cleansing? In the wake of the terror attack in Charlottesville, where a neo-Nazi killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer when he rammed a car into a group of anti-racism counterprotesters, many politicians claimed the protesters didn't "represent" America or its values. But at its core, this country was founded by racist idiots reliant on a horrid system of subjugation in order to make a living. Those ideas never died — and there are plenty of recent Florida cases that show why it's important to keep fighting these cretins: For the past year, Brandon Russell has saluted the flag and worn the u...

Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park sitting pretty with retail, schools, roads

Image
Waterford Lakes is a suburban, family-centric haven that’s probably best known for the Waterford Lakes Town Center , a formidable shopping center that spans both sides of State Road 434 , known locally as the Alafaya Trail. Proximity to the University of Central Florida and Florida State Road 408 are also prime motivators for those considering a move to this east Orlando community . Waterford Lakes is a neighborhood, not a city; homes here have an Orlando address . Waterford Lakes residents want for very little in the way of major shopping and dining — huge big-box merchants (Old Navy, Super Target, Best Buy, etc.) are prevalent, along with popular restaurant chains , a massive Regal theater , and smaller but equally well known retailers. Despite a preponderance of big names, independent shops and cafes do proliferate, though you’ll need to search them out. Most blend into the architecture, most of which is new and attractive, but largely strip-mall/shopping center-style. Near th...

Police ID man arrested in FSCJ shooting

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A 22-year-old man was arrested Thursday night after shooting a student leaving the Deerwood campus of Florida State College at Jacksonville, police said. Maxwell Martin is charged with two counts of attempted murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle. About 9 p.m., the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office was called to the intersection of Baymeadows Road and Southside Boulevard. Two students were leaving the building and getting into a car when they noticed a man, later identified as Martin, between the railings and bushes walking toward them with a "grimacing look," JSO Lt. Larry Kitchen said. Once in the car, they saw Martin walk around the vehicle with a gun in his hand before he fired a shot toward the back of the vehicle, police said. Mirlene Oliveira, 28, was driving and sped out of the parking lot. Her friend, 18-year-old Jose Yanes, was in the passenger seat and was hit in the left arm by a bullet, police said. The injury was not life-threaten...

Victoria Alvarez - 2016 Program Participant

What inspired you to go abroad? I was inspired to go abroad after attending a study abroad fair at my university. I always knew studying abroad was an option, but I had always kind of looked past it, thinking it was too expensive or just not possible for me. But in my second year of college I walked through the study abroad fair and after talking to some of the representatives of different programs, I realized I needed to be a part of the experience. I had never left the United States and I knew I wanted to change that. The view while walking uphill to Acropolis in Athens, Greece Why did you choose CIEE? I chose the CIEE Global Institute Rome Open Campus because of my love for Roman history and art and my past experiences with CIEE. I was lucky enough to go abroad in January 2016 for three weeks with CIEE in Seville, Spain and after such a successful experience with the program, I chose to go abroad for four months in Rome. What was your favorite part about Rome? Where does one beg...

How I Learned Not to Love Big Brother

Photo by Andrea Yori | CC BY 2.0 In the wake of the 2001 terrorist attacks, Washington pursued its elusive enemies across the landscapes of Asia and Africa, thanks in part to a massive expansion of its intelligence infrastructure, particularly of the emerging technologies for digital surveillance , agile drones, and biometric identification. In 2010, almost a decade into this secret war with its voracious appetite for information, the Washington Post reported that the national security state had swelled into a “fourth branch” of the federal government — with 854,000 vetted officials, 263 security organizations , and over 3,000 intelligence units, issuing 50,000 special reports every year. Though stunning, these statistics only skimmed the visible surface of what had become history’s largest and most lethal clandestine apparatus . According to classified documents that Edward Snowden leaked in 2013, the nation’s 16 intelligence agencies alone had 107,035 employees and a combined “b...
