<p>My friend asked this question as well:</p>

<p>In your opinion, which is better? UF or UM? I want to major in economics.</p>

<p>UF has great connections, a great reputation, and far more successful alumni. The "Gator Nation" and the sports are unparalleled. But classes are huge and there are just so many students, it's impersonal and I could see myself not liking it.</p>

<p>UM is higher ranked than UF now (How legit are rankings?) and has a smaller population. I like the idea of a small private school, but I am concerned that the connections etc. at UM are not as good as at UF as far as opportunities. This is completely an opinion, I know, but I just want to know your two cents.</p>

<p>Plus, with the current trend, will UF fall even more and UM up more? UM could rise and eventually become amazing.</p>

<p>Also, at UF, when do the classes start getting smaller?</p>

<p>And at UM, how successful are alumni in grad school admission and career placement vs UF (as in top ranked programs and such)?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I don’t go to UF, so I would have no idea, but I do know that UM is very expensive. UF is a good school, and I believe it will continue to remain in the same academic ranking bracket that it’s in now.
Classes in all universities begin to get smaller once you get into the upper-division classes, which are generally taken around 3rd year. </p>

<p>Hope I could help.</p>
