<p>First time post, long time lurker. My son went over the weekend to UF as a recruted NMF. He was treated spectacularly, and where Florida had never been on our radar screen, it is now his top choice. He met with the Assistant Dean of the Honors College, an advisor in his field of study, and a professor. All of the meetings went very well, and he came away impressed. He spent the night with a great kid in the honors dorm and had a fantastic time. What most conivinced him though, was the friendliness of the campus. Every person he came into contact with was helpful, gracious, and a Florida fanatic. I'm not just talking about the people he was set up to be with, but random students encountered as he walked through the campus. I guess I will have to buy some bright orange, and stow away the burnt orange!</p>
