Travel
The closest airport to the UF campus is the Gainesville Regional Airport (GNV). We strongly recommend flying in and out of GNV, as it is the most convenient (10 min from campus).
Jacksonville (JAX) and Orlando (MCO) are a 1-3 hour drive away depending on traffic, however they provide the most flight options near UF. Other potential airports to consider are Ocala (OCF; 40 min) and Daytona Beach (DAB; 2 h).
