<p>Well, I don’t know what you were smoking back then, but I went to college a lot longer than 10 years ago and I can tell you, UF was considered the better school a lot more than 10 years ago. I knew kids from my high school who got into FSU but did not get into UF and that was a lot longer than 10 years ago.</p>
<p>And Gainesville Green was indeed, pretty good stuff ;)</p>
<p>^^ Atacom,
I have a graduate degree from the mid-80’s. And I didn’t smoke pot - not for lack of trying; but it made me paranoid and no one wants to hang out with you if you think the DEA is lurking in the shadows. lol </p>
<p>UF in the late 70’s and early 80’s was the Agriculture school, there wasn’t even much of a business program at the time; if at all. If you wanted to major in business, you went to FSU, if you wanted to grow pot, you went to UF. I went to UM, with good friends who attended both, FSU was stronger - I don’t have a horse in the race, so without bias; I can say that was the perception at the time.</p>
<p>Yes, I graduated from undergrad in 1977 and med school in 1980. And no I wasn’t smoking…then or now. And UF was the party/pot smoking ag school for undergrad. I didn’t go there, and none of my friends went there. We considered it for grad/med school but not undergrad. I went to a LAC for less than I would have had to pay for a state U for undergrad, but did not even apply to UF.</p>
<p>That’s how I remember UF too, it was a party school. What really surprised me, was just how open they were about smoking pot on campus, near the union, in broad daylight…</p>
