<p>UF is in Gainesville, which is in northern Florida. There are a lot of Hispanic people in southern Florida, but not so much in north Florida. Gainesville itself is only 10% Hispanic/Latino of any race. And UF is 18% Hispanic - larger than most public universities, but still not overwhelming.</p>
<p>I’ve heard so many good things about Madison as a city. Ann Arbor, Michigan is a small college town but I’ve heard it’s nice; Georgia Tech is in Atlanta, towards which I am so biased because I’m from there; and Purdue is in West Lafayette if I remember correctly, which is also a small college town in the Midwest.</p>
<p>Look, the reputation of the school you study abroad with isn’t necessarily important as long as it’s not a diploma mill, so I would choose the place where I thought I would have the best experience. UW-Madison would give you a traditional big American university experience while also being in a cool city, so honestly that would be near the top of my personal list. Michigan also gives you that big-university experience, just in a smaller college town. Berkeley is a beautiful place. Atlanta is also a great city to study in, but GT students are notorious for not being very party-oriented (although some students don’t care about that).</p>
<p>I think the three I would apply to would be UC Berkeley, University of Michigan and UC-Berkeley.</p>
