@SouthFloridaMom9 - Hope your kid is loving it at school too!!!
@madredos - he loves UF, but the engineering classes have kicked in and the bloom is off the rose. 
Seriously it has been great so far. Thankful. Hope your kids are loving their experiences.
No school is worth going into debt or really straining your family budget. Not even Stanford. Now if paying full tuition at Stanford is not a big burden for your family, then I would personally say Stanford.
Can afford costs at Stanford, but the program my kid is interested in at a full ride or near full ride Honors College is just not that strong. It’s ok, while at Stanford, it’s top 3 in nation. So I think it all depends.
