Hello everyone, I am a student in high school from Florida and I am wondering what the best universities in Florida are, in your opinion. All I have heard as the best one is UF, but I’m sure there are other good ones. Thanks!
Keep in mind, that it’s never an apples to apples comparison. Even US News has to create several rankings, National Universities (Like UF, FSU, etc.), National Liberal Arts Colleges (Eckerd College), Regional Universities (Embry-Riddle) and Regional Colleges (Flagler Colleges).
Also, while one University may be higher ranked, than another, the lower ranked school could be much better for your major. For example, UCF and USF both have larger, more well established engineering programs than FSU.
Here’s a few links that can help.

Note, that while a school like Bethune-Cookman University may be ranked 39th for “Regional Colleges in the South”, a school like Eckerd College, ranked 127th for National Liberal Arts Colleges, is still the better, more selective school.
Here’s a simple tool for comparing colleges. I’ve selected a few examples, but you can add and remove colleges from this list.
