[Male Voice] Unlike the University of Florida, The Gator Nation cannot be confined to a map. It's a nation without limits or borders. It's a way of life that colors every endeavor a Gator pursues. Some write novels. Some build homes. Others raise family or cure disease. The University of Florida may be in Gainesville. But The Gator Nation spans boardrooms and laboratories, relief efforts and patents. The Gator Nation covers every corner of the globe and beyond. And is at home in the heart of every Gator.

[Female Voice] "It's a great place to be…I love it here."
[Male Voice] "Here I'm friends with all different types of people now, and it's through that sense that I've gained an education that I probably wouldn't have if I hadn't come to the University of Florida."
[Female Voice] "There's so many people brought together, I'd recommend it to anyone, because you're never going to get this kind of experience anywhere else."
[Female Voice] "It prepares you exactly for what you'll see when you get out in the real world"
[Male Voice] "It's the best decision I've made so far."
