About Me
Intro
If there's anything I know about myself, it's that I'm proud. Like, really proud. The gator-chomp hand gesture isn't just something that happens at games...it's a way of life. Needless to say, sports are one of the most important things to me.
I'm not just a muscle-head, though. There's a softer side to me, too. Honest.
For example, I can totally be artsy. I enjoy spending time at the on-campus art museum, the Harn Museum of Art. Seriously, who else has a straight-up art museum on their campus? I'd say that's kind of a big deal.
Also, conservation is just as important to me as art. In 2005, I became a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. I'm environmentally conscious and don't mind teaching it.
I'm also pretty outdoorsy, which is nice because are some beautiful state preserves all around me. Sometimes you just need to get away from all the college madness, am I right?
See? I told you I can also be sensitive and caring. I'm the whole package. Come check me out and see for yourself.
Name
Albert and/or Alberta Gator
Hometown
The lovely, marshy area of Gainesville, Florida
Birthdate
1853
Body Type
I'm chunky yet funky with just under 50,000 students. And by "chunky" I mean super toned and bulging with muscles. What can I say? Football players have to be a little bit of both. And mine are the best.
My campus is nice and spacious, too: I'm sprawled over 2,000 acres of land. I like to keep things interesting in the tropical heat of the Florida summers.
Current Living Situation
I'm always expanding my on-campus housing—my newest one is Infinity Hall. I'm sure you've heard plenty of freshman dorm horror stories, but living on campus isn't even all that bad here. They're your typical tiny-yet-functional college dorms.
Come on, it's part of the ol' college experience. Consider it a very mellow hazing process.
Living off campus is really a luck of the draw. Some apartments and houses in the surrounding city are nice but others…well, you'd feel cleaner not showering in some of those bathrooms. Yikes.
Overall, off-campus housing isn't so bad either and rates are just like any university: the closer you are, the more you pay.
Relationship Status
If you closely resemble anything like a Georgia Bulldog, LSU Tiger, or Duke Blue Devil, then we probably won't get along. Seriously. Just because LSU and I shared the first overtime game in college football history doesn't mean we have anything else in common.
And who really likes Duke anyway?
I also don't get along with anyone from the same state. Sorry I'm not sorry, Seminoles.
I wouldn't say I'm difficult to get along with…I'm just really competitive and a bit of a lone wolf. So sue me.
Religion
I'm open to all beliefs.
Politics
Your political preference doesn't really matter all that much to me. Conservative. Liberal. A mixture of both. I'm in a purple state, so anything goes.
You should apply to me if...
moderate class sizes are fine with you and you're into sports, college pride, and tropical Florida heat.
