United States Universities, Colleges and Schools

UNF is located in a city of over 1, 000, 000 people. Jacksonville is a major center for manufacturing, insurance, transportation and finance, and is one of the busiest port, trucking and rail centres of the Southeast. Jacksonville offers a variety of cultural, entertainment, sports and recreational opportunities for its residents, visitors and college students. Museums, art galleries, symphony, opera, theater and ballet are available. A wide variety of professional, college and high school athletic events attract sports fans. Moreover, Jacksonville's nearby beaches and the St. Johns River provide opportunities for water sports enthusiasts. Many public and private golf courses and tennis courts are available in and around the city and numerous state parks provide a wide range of outdoor recreational facilities.

Jacksonville is set in an area rich in Florida history. America's oldest city, St. Augustine, with its handsomely restored old quarter and imposing Castillo de San Marcos, is less than an hour away. Fort Caroline, built by the French in 1564 and America's oldest European settlement, is on the south bank of the St. Johns River, just minutes from UNF. Fort Clinch, where English soldiers guarded the southern approaches to the Georgia colony, stands only a few miles north in Fernandina Beach.

Within easy driving distance of the city are several of Florida's major attractions. Famed Silver Springs, located near Ocala, is 100 miles south. Disney World, with its Magic Kingdom, EPCOT Center and MGM/Disney Movie Studio theme parks, is located near Orlando, about a three-hour drive from Jacksonville via the interstate highway system.
