<p>What types of reputations do these two schools have when compared to one another? especially from those out of Florida?
Also in terms of opportunities, resources, etc.</p>
<p>Look to USNWR first for relative rankings. Florida is a very, very large but very respected state university. U Miami is a private school and much smaller, tends to be a wealthy crowd. But also very respected academically.</p>
<p>Both are also party schools to varying degrees. But serious students go to both and do very well with job placement and graduate school placement.</p>
