Campus Life
Design the college experience of your dreams.
At the University of West Florida, you will discover infinite ways to make your college years unforgettable. Find your place in one of our 130+ registered student organizations. Watch your talented peers take the stage in a theatre production. Hike the nature trail or kayak down the Escambia River. Grow your leadership skills in student government.
What your life as an Argo looks like is entirely up to you.
Student Life at UWF
Find your new best friends among our 13,500 students. Join one of our 16 Fraternity and Sorority Life organizations. Make your mark on campus while you discover your own extraordinary college experience.
Our 1,600-acre Pensacola campus is home to 25 miles of hiking and biking nature trails. Kayaking down Thompson Bayou. A 36-foot climbing wall. Dozens of fitness classes and intramural/club sports. And it's a short trip from a bustling downtown and white-sand beaches.
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
