Treehouse Project ReviewerHi
Without looking at your css, a quick glance of your html shows that you have a ul within a ul element. This sounds like the issue for your floats to me. Instead a better approach if you want to have another list inside a list, you need to have it within a li like so:
<ul>
<li></li>
<li>
<ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
Your elements are probably appearing "too close" because they are not properly separated by their content. Meaning, they are all nested inside one ul. Separate your student name link from the footer nav and float them left and right.

6,701 Pointsyou should not have any floated elements in the mobile view. you start with the static mobile view, then use floats in the larger media queries.
