In the Care Area, safety, health, and wellness are our top priorities. Research tells us that they directly influence other areas of your life, including academic success. Don't let sickness get you down. Contact us to see how we can help.

7. You need to take some time off from UF

In the Care Area we take a holistic approach to success. Sometimes our students need a lighter course load or time away from UF to go home for recovery, to be in treatment, or to spend it with family. Then when they return they are refocused and well prepared to be successful more so than they would have been if they would have stayed. If you're considering taking time off let us know. We can help!
