OP, as someone who grew up in Florida and was educated there in the 60s, 70’s and 80’s, I would suggest you take the remarks in post #12 with a large grain of salt. Years ago, I had a job in Winter Park, just a few blocks away from Rollins college and I can promise you that the campus is lovely and that the people who live in the greater Orlando area are just as nice and diverse as in any other major metro area. In addition, if you care about rankings, Rollins is ranked #2 in regional universities and attracts students from all over the country.
Disclaimer: I did not attend Rollins College or any of the other schools the OP is exploring.
