If you’re going to Florida and want to visit some colleges, then I would suggest checking out different types of colleges. Try to find small, medium, and large colleges to visit. If possible, try to have a range of urban/suburban/small town/rural, though that may not necessarily be as easy, depending on how far you want to travel. So long as the school has the areas of interest, they’re game for an initial visit.
For instance, if you’re going to be in the Orlando area then I would check out some combination of:
- Rollins: About 2200 undergrads
- Stetson: About 2800 undergrads
- Southeastern: About 4600 undergrads
- U. of Central Florida: About 42k undergrads
If you’re going to be in the Tampa area then I would check out some combination of these:
- New College of Florida: Don’t know this year’s enrollment, but we’ll call it a small school
- Southeastern: About 4600 undergrads
- U. of Tampa: About 9500 undergrads
- U. of South Florida: About 29k undergrads
If you’re in the Miami area, then checking out some schools like these could be informative:
- Barry: About 2600 undergrads
- Nova Southeastern: About 5800 undergrads
- U. of Miami: About 12k undergrads
- Florida International: About 26k undergrads
