Students at seven universities across the country, including the University of Florida, are living inside a small car for a week for a chance to win it, according to Local 6 News.

The students involved in the competition must be touching their car at all times but are allowed to take quick bathroom breaks, the report said.

The event is being broadcast online through a Webcam inside the Chevrolet Aveo vehicles.

Students are encouraged to hold pep rallies, tailgate parties, and even try to convince a professor to have class in the car, according to the report.

Web surfers can vote for their favorite teams online at www.aveolivinlarge.com.

The participating schools are Boston University, University of Southern California, Northwestern University, Michigan State University, Howard University, Texas Christian University and the University of Florida.

The winners of the challenge will win a car for their school, and of course, one for themselves.
