So he wants to play on a college team (recruitment) or just be able to play on a regular basis? Intramural sports are really big at UF (and you can play soccer plus a ton of other sports). UF just offers so many more opportunities than most of the other colleges that it would be hard to turn down based on just wanting to do soccer.
As to how big it is–yeah, it’s big but can become small very fast–you only interact with smaller groups of friends, study groups, clubs. Not all 50,000 students at the same time (except at the football games).
As for living in G’ville and wanting to go elsewhere–I can understand that. BUT if he lives on campus as a student independently from you, he’ll be getting an experience that he does NOT have now. And being a student with the ability to join campus activities and get involved is MUCH different than being just a resident of the town.
