<p>New College and Miami are the best schools in Florida. UF is way too big and too redneckish. Any Florida town is probably better than Gainesville. UM has way more prestige than UF.</p>
<p>^hahhhh redneck?! With that many students I really don't think you can make a generalization like that. And most of these posts, including mine, are based on opinion anyways. Too big in someone's eyes may be perfect in another's :)</p>
<p>I know someone that was accepted to UM with a 1100 on the SAT (CR,M)</p>
<p>About the only thing UM has over UF <em>may</em> be its med school. That's about it.</p>
<p>Both UF and FSU have more nationally ranked academic programs than Miami and this includes law school.</p>
<p>(Miami has more football titles)</p>
<p>Since FSU's average Fall SAT has risen to 1265 for "committed" students its probably now ahead of Miami in FTIC stats.</p>
<p>Miami is MUCH more expensive to attend than either FSU or UF.</p>
