Dear Student,

Are you in need of low-cost housing that has an ALL-Inclusive deal? Do you need a place to call home away from home that has freshly cooked meals ready for you to enjoy? How about a place with 79 others who become a well diverse, friendly family?

The Cooperative Living Organization (CLO) exists to provide UF AND Santa Fe students with financial ease of mind; a residency that focuses on providing a student-run cooperative where dorm-style room and board costs half as much as similar on campus arrangements.

Our Mission Statement:

Provide a place of community where students of all different backgrounds and interests get along; we live and work together for the betterment of those around us as well as leaving CLO in a better condition for future residents.

Certain principles of integrity that we strive to uphold are:

Maturity

Responsibility

Honesty

Scholarship

Cooperation

With these principles students learn to live on their own and prepare for the world beyond schooling. 

For $400 per month, this includes: Meals, Monday-Friday lunches and dinners; internet; fully furnished rooms; conducive study environments; computer lab; and willing residents to help a friend out.

For additional information, please visit our website at www.cloliving.org. 

The Cooperative Living Organization, located one block from the main UF campus (behind Chipotle off of University Ave.), is now accepting applications for the Fall 2019-Spring 2020 semesters as well as Summer 2019. We would like to invite all students to apply.

The online application is available at www.cloliving.org
