UM vs UF Business Majors

My daughter was accepted to both university of Miami and university of Florida business school. UF is cheaper and has great reputation, but it’s huge and many classes are online where students can just watch lecture on their own time, the gateway classes are almost all like this UM not ranked as well as UF but is smaller seems kids work more with their advisors and have opportunities for internships in the city of Miami, just not sure how good the school is since it’s not in top rankings. But why is UF highly ranked what’s so great about it? I don’t like the fact that kids don’t need to go to class…

A few years later than the thread linked above, DS is facing the same decision - UM vs UF for undergraduate business (no specific business direction at this point).

UM states a 91% job placement. I can’t seem to find data for UF. Both seem to be semi-target schools

Has anyone made a choice between the two and have insight? Are there any company/job recruiters on this forum that can provide insight?

If difference in tuition is not a factor, and the main outcome of concern is mentorship and job placement, which school comes out ahead?
