Live Argo Life to the Fullest
Want to make friends, up your academic game and find yourself in the center of life at UWF? Living on campus puts you in the heart of campus life—minutes away from classes, events and amenities. We offer eight residence halls featuring suite-style living. Living-learning communities provide immersive experiences and connect you to other Argos 24/7.
The Argonaut is our mascot for good reason. Our student-athletes are tough, fierce, never-going-to-give-up competitors on and off the field. We’re talking about champion cheerleaders and title-winning tennis players. Join us at PenAir Field to root for our national championship-winning football team.
See a play or musical performance. Take a drawing or painting class. Or wander through the art gallery at our Center for Fine and Performing Arts. Push your boundaries and take in new perspectives.
Military, dependent and veteran students can access a wide array of services at the Military and Veterans Resource Center while on campus. Learn about the many ways the MVRC can support you as a UWF student.
Argo Traditions
Kick off the new school year with Argo Arrival, UWF's official welcome season for new and returning students.
Homecoming is an opportunity for current students, alumni and our community to get involved, join in the festivities and cheer on our Argos.
Live where others vacation
