Collegiate Living Cooperative
Gainesville, Florida,

 Providing inexpensive housing for University of Florida students since 1931, the Collegiate Living Organization, also known as CLO, is student run and offers a diverse and supportive environment for students. We elect our leaders from among our members to govern the corporation. Members also share in the work to keep CLO operating.
