Good Will Hunting: University of Florida Edition

As a member of the Great Gator Nation I have to make sure that all the University of Florida students are taken care of. As I find resources that will be helpful for everyone in the Gator Nation, they will be posted here.

What I am asking you to do is that if you find any other resources that may be helpful to people, please feel free to post them or the link as a comment.
