It’s not wise to leave the immediate UF campus in any direction.
The student ghetto across from University is fine. Hell, The areas across from 13th street is fine. I couldn’t say about Archer Road. I didn’t spend much time on that side of campus.
The bad part of town is East Gainesville. The West out by 441 has the Oaks Mall and most of the nicer apartment complexes out there and is generally nice.
How does one get in - if all exits are problem - via helo -
