Freshmen Move in Friday at UNF Amid Growing Demand for Housing
The university’s original waitlist had about 500 students, but three days before classes start, UNF confirmed that the number had dropped to 200. “We’ve been able to offer more than 200 students a bed space,” said Robert Boyle, assistant vice president for Housing and Residence Life.
Osprey Ridge
Located next to Osprey Fountains on Osprey Ridge Road, the new four-story, 165,000-square-foot Osprey Ridge facility includes a living-learning community specifically designed for students in UNF’s Hicks Honors College, though it’s open to students from all academic programs.

Outdoor recreation areas include sand volleyball and pickleball courts, surrounded by scenic green space. A newly constructed boardwalk connects the residence hall to the main campus.
