Publix and Walmart
This is a big deal for our students...We now have the University Commons...a shopping center. Walmart and Publix are the 2 main stores, but other shops and restaurants will be there as well. Not technically on campus, but a driveway was built from our campus to there

University Commons

Walking distance from campus
real look at it...you may wonder how Walmart and Publix can coexist...Walmart has agreed to not be in the grocery business and to act like the old Walmarts that some of you may remember
