<p>UF has a very good physics program too.</p>
<p>Bottom line: UCSC simply is not enough better than UF/FSU/UCF (depending on field) to be worth OOS UC fees. I’m not trying to insult UCSC - it’s a fine school - but this student had in-state options that are also very good. And this student and her family were crazy to think that this would all work out financially.</p>
