WHEELS ON CAMPUS -- A GUIDE TO WHEELCHAIR-FRIENDLY HIGHER EDUCATION (part 1)

 UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA

The University of Florida is unique in that it has the fifth largest undergraduate enrollment in the nation but is situated in Gainesville, a suburban area of ap­proximately 140,000, not a huge population to draw from lo­cally. 

Yet, Ben Griffin Stadium holds more than 88,000 spec­tators, which says volumes about the popularity of the Gators football team. 

But sports is not all that is notable about this university. 

It is also among the top 10 public colleges and uni­versities in the nation, according to U.S. News & World Re­port. 

The physical and programmatic accessibility for wheel­chair users ranks highly, as well.
